LAR2E471MELA35

The LAR2E471MELA35 is a snap‑in terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general purpose electronic applications. It combines a 470 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating with snap‑in radial can packaging for secure board mounting.

Engineered for demanding thermal and ripple environments, this capacitor withstands 2000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C and provides safety features that reduce short incidence under overvoltage conditions. It is RoHS compliant for use in regulated designs.

Key Features

• Electrolytic Core — Aluminum electrolytic construction offering 470 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating and ±20% tolerance.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Snap‑In Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting (radial can, snap‑in) for robust mechanical retention on power PCBs.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 1.4 A at 120 Hz and 2.1 A at 50 kHz, with frequency coefficients provided for higher frequencies.
• Overvoltage Safety Behavior — Designed to reduce incidence of shorting when subjected to overvoltage (rated voltage × 1.5) with defined passing criteria under limited current conditions.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863) for restricted substance requirements.
• Compact Dimensions — Cylindrical snap‑in package with dimensions of approximately φ25 × 35 mm (L: 3.5 × D: 2.5 cm), suitable for space‑conscious power assemblies.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — Suited for designs that require a 470 µF, 250 V electrolytic solution in snap‑in form for reliable board installation.
• High‑Temperature Power Assemblies — Appropriate where operation up to 105°C and endurance at rated ripple current for extended periods are required.
• Ripple‑Intensive Circuits — Useful for circuits that require sustained ripple handling up to 1.4 A at 120 Hz and 2.1 A at 50 kHz.
• RoHS‑Compliant Products — Fits products and lines that must meet RoHS requirements.

Unique Advantages

• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current supports reliable life in thermally demanding applications.
• Measured Ripple Capability: Specified ripple currents (1.4 A at 120 Hz, 2.1 A at 50 kHz) and frequency coefficients provide predictable performance across frequencies.
• Snap‑In Mechanical Security: Snap‑in radial can simplifies assembly and secures the capacitor in high‑stress board environments.
• Overvoltage Safety Design: Built to reduce short incidence under 1.5× rated voltage with defined safety passing criteria under limited current test conditions.
• Wide Operating Range: −40°C to +105°C category temperature supports a broad set of operating environments.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity eases integration into regulated product lines.
