LLS2Z122MELA

The LLS2Z122MELA is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LLS series, providing 1200 µF capacitance at a 180 V rated voltage. It is designed for general‑purpose power applications that require bulk energy storage and robust ripple current handling in industrial and commercial equipment.

Built to the LLS series 85°C standard, this radial can (snap‑in) capacitor delivers long endurance and predictable electrical characteristics for designs where sustained ripple performance and lifecycle stability matter.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 1.2 mF (1200 µF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance rated at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Rated Voltage — 180 V DC rating suitable for higher‑voltage power rails and energy storage applications.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple currents of 3.63 A at 120 Hz and 5.445 A at 50 kHz support effective smoothing and filtering under varying frequency loads.
• Endurance — Designed to withstand 3000 hours with rated ripple current at 85°C, meeting the LLS series endurance specification.
• Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to 85°C to support a wide range of industrial and commercial ambient conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can, snap‑in terminal type (φ25 × 45 mm), delivered in tray packing for production use and secure PCB mounting.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1390 µA, enabling predictable power budgeting in designs.
• RoHS Compliant — Complies with RoHS directives as part of the LLS series designation.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy buffering on higher‑voltage DC rails to stabilize outputs and handle transient loads.
• Industrial Equipment — Energy storage and ripple suppression in motors, drives, and factory automation where long endurance at elevated temperatures is required.
• Commercial Power Systems — Filtering and decoupling in UPS, inverters, and other commercial power electronics that demand reliable ripple performance.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Support: 180 V rating allows use on elevated DC buses without compromise to capacitance.
• Designed for Ripple Duty: Specified low‑ and high‑frequency ripple currents (3.63 A @120 Hz, 5.445 A @50 kHz) enable effective filtering across common power frequencies.
• Long Endurance at 85°C: 3000‑hour rated life under rated ripple conditions provides predictable longevity for continuous‑duty applications.
• Production‑Ready Packaging: Tray packing facilitates handling and assembly for mass production runs.
• Predictable Leakage Specification: Defined leakage current supports accurate power loss and thermal planning in system design.
