LGN2D471MELA25

The LGN2D471MELA25 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGN series, rated 470 µF at 200 V. It is a smaller-sized, snap‑in can designed for general‑purpose applications that require high-temperature endurance and robust ripple handling.

Key value propositions include a 105°C operating range with 3000 hours endurance under rated ripple current, compact radial snap‑in packaging, and RoHS compliance for environmentally constrained designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 470 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 200 V and tolerance ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High Temperature Endurance: Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C with endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Performance: Rated ripple current of 1.48 A at 120 Hz and 2.22 A at 100 kHz, supporting sustained AC ripple conditions.
• Compact Snap‑in Package: Radial, can snap‑in construction; dimensions L: 2.5 × D: 2.5 cm with seated height max 2.5 cm, enabling space-efficient board mounting.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics: Leakage current conforms to series specification I ≤ 3/√(C) µA after 5 minutes at 20°C; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) limits per series datasheet.
• Polarized, General-Purpose: Polarized aluminum electrolytic element targeted for general‑purpose power applications.
• Environmental Compliance: Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power electronics — Suitable where a 470 µF, 200 V, high-temperature snap‑in capacitor is needed for bulk filtering or energy storage.
• High‑temperature environments — Designed for applications requiring continuous operation up to 105°C with long endurance under rated ripple current.
• Compact assemblies — Snap‑in radial can format and reduced case size (one rank smaller than LGU) for space-constrained power modules and assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high‑temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current provides predictable long‑term performance in elevated ambient conditions.
• Strong ripple handling: Specified ripple current at both low (120 Hz) and high (100 kHz) frequencies supports a range of switching and line‑frequency power designs.
• Space-efficient design: One rank smaller case size than comparable LGU parts helps reduce board footprint without sacrificing capacitance.
• Manufacturing-friendly snap‑in mount: Radial snap‑in terminals simplify mechanical retention and PCB layout for vertical can placement.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports integration into environmentally regulated products and supply chains.
