LGL2G471MELB35

The LGL2G471MELB35 from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LGL series, rated at 470 µF and 400 V. Packaged in a compact radial can (∅30 × 35 mm), this mass-production part is supplied in tray packing and is intended for general-purpose high-voltage applications.

Designed for operation to 105°C, the LGL2G471MELB35 combines high-voltage capability with measurable ripple-handling and long-term endurance, making it suitable where compact, dependable DC energy storage and filtering are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Mounting & Package: Snap-in radial can termination (snap-in terminal type) in a ∅30 × 35 mm package (L: 3.5 cm × D: 3.0 cm). Supplied in tray packing for mass-production assembly.
• Temperature & Lifetime: Operating temperature range −25°C to +105°C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated bias and ripple conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability: Measured ripple currents include 1.5 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.145 A at 50 kHz (high frequency).
• Leakage Current Specification: Leakage current meets I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA after 5 minutes at 20°C (where C = µF, V = rated voltage), per datasheet test condition.
• Loss & Low‑Temperature Stability: tan δ (dissipation factor) max 0.15 at 400 V (120 Hz, 20°C). Impedance stability at low temperature: Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 8.
• Endurance & Shelf Life Criteria: After 2000 hours at 105°C with DC bias plus rated ripple current, capacitance change remains within ±20%, tan δ ≤ 200% of initial spec, and leakage current remains at or below initial specification; shelf-life conditioning is defined in the datasheet.

Typical Applications

• High‑voltage DC filtering: Bulk energy storage and smoothing in general-purpose high-voltage power supplies and converters where a 400 V rated capacitor is required.
• Industrial power equipment: DC link and filter stages in industrial converters and power modules that operate up to 105°C ambient.
• General-purpose electronic systems: Applications requiring polarized capacitance with robust ripple capability and proven endurance in compact snap-in packaging.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 400 V rating enables use in high-voltage DC circuits without additional series components.
• Compact snap‑in packaging: ∅30 × 35 mm radial can with snap-in terminals provides a space-efficient solution for through-hole mounting and secure mechanical retention.
• Verified ripple performance: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz allow designers to size capacitors against measured ripple loading conditions.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions provides a quantifiable reliability baseline for high-temperature applications.
• Defined leakage and loss limits: Leakage current formula and tan δ limits provide clear acceptance criteria for quality control and design margins.
• Production-ready packaging: Tray packing supports efficient pick-and-place or manual assembly workflows for mass production.
