The LAK2D471MELA35 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated 200 V with 470 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance. It belongs to Nichicon’s LAK series designed for general‑purpose power applications and equipment operating in environments with fluctuating voltages.

Key value propositions include high ripple handling, extended high‑temperature endurance and built‑in safety features, making this part suitable for power filtering and energy‑storage roles in industrial and general‑purpose electronic equipment.

Key Features

• Electrical capacity — 470 µF capacitance at 200 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling in power stages.
• Ripple current capability — Rated ripple current of 1.3 A at 120 Hz and 1.56 A at 10 kHz to support AC ripple in power supplies and converters.
• High‑temperature endurance — Designed for 2000 hours of life at 105°C, providing sustained performance in elevated ambient conditions.
• Low loss and leakage — Maximum tan δ of 0.20 (20°C, 120 Hz) and a measured leakage current of 910 µA, supporting efficient operation and predictable self‑discharge behavior.
• Safety features — Pressure relief vent and series safety design details to reduce risk under abnormal overvoltage conditions.
• Package and mounting — Radial, can-style snap‑in package (φ25 × 35 mm) for secure board mounting in power assemblies; supplied in tray packing for production handling.
• Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant construction to meet regulated material requirements.

Typical Applications

• Power supply smoothing and filtering — Bulk capacitance and rated ripple handling make it suitable for smoothing DC rails and filtering after rectification stages.
• Industrial equipment in fluctuating voltage environments — LAK series design and safety features are intended for equipment exposed to voltage variations.
• General‑purpose power circuits — Useful for energy storage, decoupling and transient suppression in a wide range of general electronic systems.

Unique Advantages

• Long high‑temperature life: 2000 hours at 105°C ensures sustained capacitance and reliability under elevated operating temperatures.
• Robust ripple performance: Dual ripple ratings (120 Hz and 10 kHz) provide quantifiable limits for both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple environments.
• Safety‑oriented design: Pressure relief vent and series safety testing reduce the risk of hazardous failure modes under abnormal voltage conditions.
• Snap‑in mounting for secure assemblies: Radial snap‑in can package simplifies installation in high‑vibration or heavy‑current power assemblies.
• Regulatory readiness and production availability: RoHS compliance and tray packing support regulated markets and volume manufacturing workflows.
