LGJ2E471MELC20

The LGJ2E471MELC20 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGJ series. It provides 470 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating in a low-profile, radial can (snap-in) package.

Designed for general-purpose applications, this capacitor offers a broad operating temperature range (−40°C to +105°C), a 3000-hour endurance at 105°C, and snap-in mounting for secure board installation and automated assembly.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 470 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, polarized design, and a rated voltage of 250 V.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C with a specified lifetime of 3000 hours at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 1.47 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.205 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), supporting AC ripple handling in applicable circuits.
• Package & Mounting — Radial snap-in (snap-in terminal) can package, φ35 × 20 mm size for low-profile installations and secure mechanical mounting.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Capacitance tolerance ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C; leakage current and tan δ defined per LGJ series specifications.
• Production & Packing — Mass production status with tray packing for handling and assembly logistics.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic equipment — Provides bulk capacitance and energy storage where a 250 V, 470 µF snap-in capacitor is required for general-purpose designs.
• General-purpose power circuits — Suited to general-purpose circuits that require rated ripple handling and stable capacitance across −40°C to +105°C operating range.
• General-purpose industrial assemblies — Appropriate for general-purpose uses in assemblies where snap-in mounting and tray packing support production workflows.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage rating (250 V): Enables use in circuits requiring 250 V rated capacitance.
• Extended high-temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C supports designs that require prolonged operation at elevated temperatures.
• Robust ripple handling: Specified ripple current of 1.47 A (120 Hz) and 2.205 A (50 kHz) supports AC ripple management within rated limits.
• Low-profile snap-in package: φ35 × 20 mm radial can with snap-in terminals for secure mounting and straightforward integration into assemblies.
• Manufacturer and series consistency: Part of Nichicon's LGJ series, offering consistent specifications across the family for design reuse and sourcing.
• Production-ready packing: Tray packing and mass production availability support volume procurement and assembly-line handling.
