LGG2G471MELB40

The LGG2G471MELB40 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGG series. It delivers 470 µF at a 400 V rating in an ultra-smaller-sized, radial can with snap-in mounting for compact power designs.

Designed for general-purpose use, this RoHS-compliant capacitor combines high-voltage capacitance, elevated operating temperature capability up to 105°C, and specified ripple current ratings for applications that require reliable bulk capacitance and endurance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High-temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −25°C to +105°C with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), supporting predictable ESR-related behavior.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1.30 mA after rated voltage application (measurement condition per datasheet).
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 1.55 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 2.216 A at 100 kHz, enabling handling of AC ripple across a range of frequencies.
• Compact Snap-in Package — Radial, can-type snap-in mounting in a φ30 × 40 mm footprint (D: 3 cm × L: 4 cm) for secure board attachment and space-efficient layouts.
• Compliance & Availability — Nichicon LGG series part, RoHS compliant and listed as mass production with tray packing for assembly.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power systems — Suitable where 470 µF at 400 V and a 105°C endurance rating are required for bulk capacitance and energy smoothing in general-purpose circuits.
• Compact equipment designs — The LGG series is described as ultra-smaller-sized and one rank smaller than comparable cases, making this part appropriate for down-sized power assemblies.
• High-temperature environments — Specified for operation up to 105°C with 2000 h endurance at that temperature, supporting designs that require sustained elevated-temperature performance.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage bulk capacitance: 470 µF at 400 V provides substantial stored energy for high-voltage power circuits.
• Compact, snap-in package: φ30 × 40 mm radial can with snap-in terminals enables secure mounting while saving PCB area compared to larger case sizes.
• Wide operating temperature range: −25°C to +105°C accommodates applications exposed to elevated ambient temperatures.
• Specified ripple performance: Defined ripple current values at 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow designers to assess thermal and ripple handling across low and high frequencies.
• Endurance-backed reliability: 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current provides an industry-standard endurance metric for long-term performance planning.
• RoHS compliant and production-ready: Nichicon mass-production status and tray packing support predictable sourcing and assembly workflows.
