Overview of LAQ2P471MELC25 – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Snap-in Terminal, 220 V, 470 µF
The LAQ2P471MELC25 is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in, radial can package designed for general-purpose electronic applications. It offers a 470 µF capacitance at a 220 V rating with ±20% tolerance and is built for elevated operating temperatures up to 105°C.
Engineered for power-filtering and bulk-energy storage roles in industrial and general-purpose electronics, this capacitor delivers defined ripple-current handling and long-term endurance characteristics specified for 2000 hours at 105°C.
Key Features
- Electrical characteristics — 470 µF nominal capacitance at 220 V DC with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- Operating temperature & endurance — Rated for -25°C to 105°C operation with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
- Mounting & package — Snap-in terminal, radial can package; dimensions φ35 × 25 mm (L: 2.5 cm × D: 3.5 cm) for compact board-level installation.
- Ripple current capability — Specified ripple current: 1.45 A at 120 Hz and 1.74 A at 10 kHz for thermal and lifetime planning.
- Leakage current and dissipation — Leakage current: I ≤ 3√C µA after 5 minutes at 20°C; tan δ ≤ 0.20 (120 Hz, 20°C).
- Safety performance — Pressure relief vent designed to operate under abnormal conditions without flame, ignition, or dispersion of case pieces as specified in the product series documentation.
- Polarized device — Designed for polarized circuits; observe correct polarity in application.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose power filtering — Bulk capacitance and ripple filtering in power supply rails where a 220 V rating and elevated temperature capability are required.
- Industrial electronics — Energy storage and smoothing in industrial control or power conversion equipment operating up to 105°C.
- High-voltage DC bus support — Bulk decoupling on higher-voltage DC systems that require a 220 V rated polarized capacitor with defined ripple current handling.
Unique Advantages
- High-voltage capability — 220 V rated design supports higher-voltage DC bus and filtering requirements without series stacking.
- Elevated-temperature endurance — 2000-hour rated lifetime at 105°C provides predictable aging and reliability for sustained high-temperature operation.
- Reliable ripple performance — Published ripple-current values at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz help align selection with thermal and lifetime budgets.
- Compact snap-in package — Radial, snap-in can with φ35 × 25 mm footprint for secure PCB mounting and space-efficient board layouts.
- Measured electrical limits — Specified leakage current formula and tan δ limit facilitate electrical validation and screening in design.
- Built-in safety vent — Pressure relief vent operation is specified to avoid hazardous failure modes under abnormal conditions.
