Overview of LLS2Z331MELZ – Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 330 µF, 180 V, 85°C
The LLS2Z331MELZ is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor intended for general‑purpose electronic applications. It combines a 330 µF capacitance with a 180 V rated voltage in a radial can snap‑in package designed for robust mounting and repeated ripple handling.
Designed to withstand extended ripple stress, this capacitor is specified for 3000 hours of rated ripple current application at 85°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable where long endurance and environmental compliance are required.
Key Features
- Capacitance and Voltage — 330 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 180 V with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Snap‑In Radial Package — Snap‑in terminal (radial, can – snap‑in) mounting type for secure PCB attachment and straightforward installation.
- Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Rated to withstand 3000 hours of DC bias plus rated ripple current at 85°C with capacitance change permitted within ±20% after the endurance test.
- Ripple Current Performance — Specified ripple current capability of 1.77 A at 120 Hz and 2.655 A at 50 kHz, supporting circuits with significant AC ripple components.
- Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to +85°C for the applicable voltage range, enabling use across typical ambient conditions noted in the series specification.
- Leakage Current Specification — Series leakage current defined as I ≤ 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20°C (C in μF, V in V), supporting predictable bias behavior.
- Size and Form Factor — Compact radial can dimensions L: 2.5 cm × D: 2.2 cm for space‑conscious board layouts.
- RoHS Compliant — Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- General‑purpose electronic modules — Bulk capacitance and ripple handling in assemblies that require a robust, snap‑in aluminum electrolytic solution.
- Industrial equipment — Filtering and smoothing in control and power circuitry where prolonged ripple endurance at elevated temperature is required.
- Commercial electronic systems — Energy storage and decoupling in systems designed for standard operating environments within the −40°C to +85°C range.
Unique Advantages
- Proven ripple endurance — 3000‑hour rated endurance at 85°C under rated ripple current provides predictable life behavior in ripple‑rich circuits.
- Frequency‑aware ripple ratings — Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz let you size the capacitor based on expected operating frequencies.
- Compact snap‑in form — Radial snap‑in can offers a secure mechanical connection and small footprint for high‑density assemblies.
- Controlled leakage specification — Leakage current defined by a clear I ≤ 3√(C·V) relation for reliable bias current planning.
- Wide operating temperature window — −40°C to +85°C operating range supports designs targeting standard commercial and industrial ambient conditions.
- Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports environmental and procurement requirements.
