LGG2E471MELA30

The LGG2E471MELA30 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LGG series, offering 470 µF nominal capacitance at 250 V with ±20% tolerance. Designed for general‑purpose applications, it combines high ripple handling and a 105°C endurance rating in an ultra‑smaller‑sized snap‑in can.

Key value propositions include high ripple current capability (both low and high frequency), controlled loss tangent (tan δ = 0.15 at 20°C/120 Hz), long endurance (2000 hours at 105°C), and RoHS compliance—making it suitable where compact, reliable bulk capacitance is required.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 470 µF nominal capacitance at 250 V DC with ±20% tolerance; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.15 max (20°C, 120 Hz).
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 1.30 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.95 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) to support substantial AC ripple handling.
• Low Leakage — Specified leakage current of 1.02 mA after application of rated voltage, enabling predictable leakage behavior in designs.
• Thermal and Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C with endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Mechanical and Mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package (φ25 × 30 mm), designed for secure board mounting in compact assemblies.
• Manufacturing & Packaging — Tray packing and mass production status for repeatable assembly and supply.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power systems — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling for general‑purpose electronic equipment as specified by the part’s application designation.
• Compact equipment designs — Part of the LGG series’ ultra‑smaller sizing, suited for applications where reduced case size is required.
• High‑temperature installations — Rated for continuous operation up to 105°C with a 2000‑hour endurance specification, supporting designs that require sustained elevated‑temperature performance.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability: Dual ripple ratings—1.30 A at 120 Hz and 1.95 A at 100 kHz—allow the capacitor to handle both low‑ and high‑frequency AC stress reliably.
• Controlled dissipation factor: Tan δ of 0.15 (20°C, 120 Hz) ensures predictable losses for thermal and efficiency calculations.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions supports product longevity in demanding thermal environments.
• Compact snap‑in package: φ25 × 30 mm snap‑in can delivers high capacitance in a reduced footprint for space‑constrained assemblies.
• Production ready: Tray packing and mass production status simplify procurement and high‑volume assembly logistics.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for use in regions requiring restricted‑substance conformance.

Why Choose LGG2E471MELA30?
