Overview of LGJ2E471MELC20 – Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 250 V, 470 µF
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
