LLS2Z102MELB

The LLS2Z102MELB is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose applications requiring a high‑voltage polarized capacitor. Built on Nichicon’s LLS series architecture, it provides 1000µF capacitance at a 180V rating with snap‑in radial can packaging and tray packing for production environments.

Its combination of rated voltage, robust ripple handling and a 3,000‑hour endurance at 85°C make it suitable for designs that require sustained ripple endurance and long‑term stability within the specified operating temperature range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1,000µF capacitance rated at 180V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage in polarized circuits.
• Snap‑In Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can construction (φ30 × 30 mm) for secure board mounting and mechanical stability in production assemblies.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low‑frequency ripple current of 3.10 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 4.65 A at 50 kHz to handle dynamic load fluctuations.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.15 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, enabling predictable dissipation characteristics for thermal and circuit design.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1270 µA for predictable standby and applied‑voltage behavior.
• Endurance — Rated for 3,000 hours at 85°C with post‑test limits: capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ ≤ 200% of initial spec, and leakage current not exceeding initial specified value.
• Operating Temperature — Specified operating range from −40°C to +85°C for stable performance across typical industrial temperature conditions.
• Compliance & Production — RoHS‑compliant and available in tray packing; mass production status supports volume procurement.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Circuits — Polarized high‑voltage capacitor suitable for circuits that require 1,000µF at 180V and reliable ripple handling.
• Industrial Equipment — Designed for systems requiring sustained operation at elevated temperature with 3,000‑hour endurance at 85°C.
• Panel and Chassis Mount Assemblies — Snap‑in radial can format provides robust mechanical mounting for production boards and assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Capacity: 180V rating allows use in higher‑voltage polarized circuits where larger energy storage is required.
• Robust Ripple Handling: Defined ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (3.10 A at 120 Hz, 4.65 A at 50 kHz) help manage dynamic loads and reduce acoustic/thermal stress in operation.
• Predictable Dissipation: tan δ of 0.15 (20°C, 120 Hz) provides clear thermal dissipation behavior for thermal design and reliability forecasting.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 3,000 hours at 85°C with specified post‑test limits on capacitance, tan δ and leakage supports long‑term deployment in rated conditions.
• Production‑Ready Packaging: Tray packing and mass production availability simplify procurement and assembly for volume manufacturing.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in markets requiring restricted substance adherence.
