LLS2Z152MELC

The LLS2Z152MELC is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's LLS series, offering 1500 µF capacitance at 180 V with ±20% tolerance. It is a radial, can-style, snap‑in component designed for general-purpose power applications that require bulk capacitance, high ripple capability and long-term endurance.

Key value propositions include robust ripple‑current handling, a defined 3000‑hour endurance at 85°C under rated conditions, and a compact φ35 × 35 mm form factor for tray packing and mass production environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF rated capacitance with a 180 V nominal rating and ±20% tolerance, suitable for applications needing substantial bulk capacitance.
• Snap‑in Terminal Package — Radial, can-style snap‑in mounting for secure board installation and mechanical stability in high‑current applications.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 4.02 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 6.03 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective AC ripple absorption and smoothing under dynamic load conditions.
• Low Dissipation Factor — tan δ of 0.15 (max) measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, indicating reduced dielectric losses for improved efficiency.
• Controlled Leakage — Specified leakage current of 1550 µA, providing predictable standby and leakage behavior for power designs.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated for 3000 hours at 85°C (with DC bias plus rated ripple current applied) and an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
• Form Factor & Packaging — Compact φ35 × 35 mm size with tray packing for streamlined production handling and inventory management.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements, supporting regulatory compliance for environmental directives.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and energy storage in industrial and commercial power supply designs that require 180 V rated capacitance.
• DC Link / Smoothing — Energy buffering and ripple smoothing where high ripple‑current capability is needed.
• General Purpose Industrial Electronics — Use in general-purpose power circuits where long endurance at elevated temperature and stable loss characteristics are required.
