LGN2C471MELY30

The LGN2C471MELY30 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGN series, offering 470 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact φ20×30L radial can. It is designed for general-purpose power applications that require high-temperature endurance and robust ripple handling.

Key value comes from a 105°C operating range with 3000 hours rated endurance, low leakage and defined ripple-current capability at both low and high frequencies, making it suitable for demanding power-filtering and energy-storage roles in commercial and industrial designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and capacitance tolerance of ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• High-temperature Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C with DC bias plus rated ripple current applied; meets endurance criteria for capacitance, tan δ and leakage after the test.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current: 1.4 A (120 Hz); high-frequency ripple capability: 2.1 A (100 kHz), supporting effective smoothing across frequency ranges.
• Low Leakage & Loss — Specified leakage current of 820 µA and tan δ (DF) 0.15 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, for predictable loss characteristics.
• Package & Mounting — Snap-in radial can termination in a compact φ20×30L package; supplied in tray packing and currently in mass production.
• Operating Range — Rated operating temperature from −40°C to 105°C to support elevated-temperature applications.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in power-supply circuits requiring 470 µF at 160 V with defined ripple-current handling.
• Industrial equipment — Power modules and control electronics that require long-term performance at elevated ambient temperatures (up to 105°C) and sustained ripple duty.
• Commercial power supplies — Energy storage and ripple attenuation in commercial converters and regulated supplies where compact radial snap-in mounting is preferred.

Unique Advantages

• Durability at elevated temperature — 3000-hour endurance rating at 105°C provides predictable life performance under sustained thermal and ripple stress.
• Broad ripple capability — Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz supports designs that must manage low- and high-frequency ripple components.
• Compact snap-in form factor — φ20×30L radial can with snap-in terminals saves PCB area compared to larger snap-in parts while maintaining required capacitance and voltage.
• Measurable loss and leakage characteristics — Published tan δ (0.15) and leakage current (820 µA) enable straightforward thermal and loss budgeting in power designs.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for material compliance.
