LLS2Z182MELC

The LLS2Z182MELC is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's LLS series, configured with a snap‑in terminal (radial can) and specified for 85°C standard operation. It is designed as a general‑purpose polarized capacitor offering a 1.8 mF capacitance at a 180 V rating with RoHS compliance.

Key value propositions include robust ripple‑current endurance (rated for 3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple conditions), a wide operating temperature range, and a snap‑in package for secure board mounting in power circuitry and general‑purpose electronic assemblies.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 1.8 mF capacitance with a 180 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, supporting mid‑voltage energy storage and decoupling roles.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap In mounting type with a radial, can‑style package for secure mechanical retention on PCBs.
• Ripple‑Current Endurance — Designed to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple‑current application at 85°C; specified ripple current values: 4.54 A at 120 Hz and 6.81 A at 50 kHz.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C for use across typical industrial and commercial temperature environments.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized aluminum electrolytic design suitable for DC bias applications.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Form Factor — Compact footprint with dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 3.5 cm for space‑conscious designs.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power circuitry — Use where a polarized, mid‑voltage capacitor is required for energy storage, smoothing, or decoupling in standard electronic power stages.
• Industrial and commercial electronics — Suitable for assemblies that need reliable ripple‑current handling and long‑term endurance at elevated operating temperatures.
• Power supply modules — Applicable in power modules or supplies that require a 180 V rated capacitor with defined ripple‑current capability at 120 Hz and higher frequencies.

Unique Advantages

• Long ripple‑current endurance: Rated to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C, providing predictable performance over extended operation under ripple stress.
• Defined high‑frequency capability: Ripple‑current specification includes both 120 Hz (4.54 A) and 50 kHz (6.81 A) values, enabling informed selection for different switching frequencies.
• Wide ambient range: −40°C to +85°C operating temperature supports deployment across a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Secure snap‑in mounting: Radial, snap‑in can package offers robust mechanical retention for board‑level installations.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs targeting restricted‑substance requirements.
• Clear electrical specification: 1.8 mF at 180 V with ±20% tolerance simplifies BOM comparisons and design calculations.
