LLS2Z152MELB

The LLS2Z152MELB is a Nichicon LLS series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in can package. It delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 180 V rated voltage with polarized terminals and is designed for general‑purpose power applications.

Engineered for sustained performance, this part provides long endurance at elevated temperature (3000 hours at 85°C), measurable ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies, and RoHS compliance for regulated production environments.

Key Features

• Electrolytic Core — Aluminum electrolytic construction providing 1.5 mF capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Rated Voltage & Loss — 180 V rated voltage with a maximum tan δ of 0.15 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), supporting stable AC characteristics under specified conditions.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in mounting type in a radial can (φ30×40 mm / L: 4 × D: 3 cm), optimized for secure chassis or PCB snap installation and mass production tray packing.
• Reliability & Lifetime — Endurance demonstrated by withstanding 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C; after the endurance test, capacitance change remains within ±20% and leakage current remains within initial specified limits.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 4.1 A at 120 Hz and 6.15 A at 50 kHz, enabling effective smoothing in high‑ripple environments.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −40°C to +85°C, covering a wide range of general‑purpose industrial and electronic applications.
• Leakage & Measurement — Leakage current specification follows I ≤ 3√(C·V) (µA) after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20°C.
• RoHS Compliant & Production Ready — Compliant to the RoHS directive and available in tray packing for mass production deployment.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Electronics — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in general‑purpose power modules that require 1.5 mF at up to 180 V.
• Industrial Equipment — Use where sustained ripple endurance and 85°C life testing (3000 hours) support reliable operation in industrial systems.
• Power Conversion & Filtering — Suitable for circuits requiring defined ripple current handling at 120 Hz and higher frequencies up to 50 kHz.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage, High Capacitance Combination: 180 V rating combined with 1.5 mF capacitance enables compact energy storage for mid‑voltage designs.
• Documented Endurance: 3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple current gives a clear, verifiable reliability baseline for design validation.
• Frequency Versatility: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz supports applications across switching and line‑frequency domains.
• Production‑Friendly Packaging: Tray packing and snap‑in terminals simplify automated assembly and high‑volume deployment.
• Measured Electrical Limits: Clear leakage current formula and tan δ limit (0.15) provide deterministic parameters for circuit design and thermal budgeting.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in regulated manufacturing environments.
