LGC2H471MELB55

The LGC2H471MELB55 is an aluminum electrolytic, snap‑in terminal capacitor designed for long‑life, high‑voltage applications. It provides 470 µF capacitance at a 500 V rating in an ultra‑smaller case (one rank smaller than the LGX series), making it suitable where board space and equipment downsizing are priorities.

Engineered for general‑purpose power applications, this polarized radial can supports continuous operation across a wide temperature range and delivers endurance for demanding thermal environments. The part is RoHS compliant and intended for designs that require reliable high‑voltage bulk capacitance with extended lifetime.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF rated capacitance at 500 V DC for bulk energy storage and filtering in high‑voltage circuits.
• Long‑Life, High‑Temperature Endurance — Guaranteed 5000 hours at 105°C under specified DC bias plus rated ripple current, supporting long‑term reliability in hot operating environments.
• Compact Snap‑In Package — Snap‑in, radial can termination in an ultra‑smaller case (one rank smaller than LGX) for space‑constrained power assemblies.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified for −40°C to +105°C operation to accommodate a broad range of industrial ambient conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current examples: 2.14 A at 120 Hz and 3.06 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective ripple handling across low and high frequencies.
• Electrical Characteristics — Capacitance tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C); leakage current defined as I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA after 5 minutes at 20°C; tan δ ≤ 0.25 (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and smoothing for high‑voltage DC power supplies where reduced footprint is required.
• Power Conversion Equipment — Filtering and decoupling in converters and inverters that demand high voltage handling and reliable long‑term operation.
