LGN2D471MELY35

The LGN2D471MELY35 from Nichicon is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LGN series designed for general‑purpose electronic applications. It delivers 470 µF capacitance at a 200 V rating in a smaller-sized snap‑in can, with polarized construction and RoHS compliance.

Engineered for high‑temperature operation, this part is specified for operation to 105°C and is qualified to withstand prolonged application of rated ripple current, making it suitable where long endurance and reliable ripple handling are required within the capacitor’s stated limits.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 200 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation up to 105°C and specified to withstand 3000 hours of DC bias plus rated ripple current at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified ripple currents of 1.48 A at 120 Hz and 2.22 A at 100 kHz to support AC ripple handling within the rated conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, can‑type snap‑in package for secure panel or chassis mounting and easy installation.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized electrolytic design for DC energy storage and smoothing applications where polarity is defined.
• Compliance & Identification — RoHS compliant; marked with white lettering on a black sleeve.
• Stability & Shelf Life — Meets endurance criteria: after 3000 hours at 105°C (with DC bias plus rated ripple) capacitance change is within ±20%, tan δ remains ≤200% of initial specified value, and leakage current is within the initial specified value. Shelf life condition available after 1000 hours at 105°C followed by prescribed voltage treatment.

Typical Applications

• High‑temperature power electronics — Use where 470 µF at 200 V and operation to 105°C are required, benefiting thermal endurance and rated ripple capability.
• Chassis or panel mounted power modules — Snap‑in radial can mounting supports secure mechanical installation in power assemblies.
• General‑purpose DC energy storage — Polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor for DC smoothing and energy buffering within rated voltage and temperature limits.

Unique Advantages

• Long high‑temperature endurance: Specified 3000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, providing predictable lifetime behavior in elevated ambient conditions.
• Compact snap‑in packaging: Smaller‑sized snap‑in can (one rank smaller than LGU) for space‑conscious designs without sacrificing rated capacitance and voltage.
• Defined ripple performance: Published ripple current values at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow designers to evaluate thermal and ripple stress for intended applications.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements, simplifying regulatory considerations for assemblies.
• Clear part identification: White printing on a black sleeve makes the part easy to identify in production and maintenance environments.
