LGN2D471MELZ30

The LGN2D471MELZ30 from Nichicon is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal, smaller‑sized package within the LGN series. Designed for general‑purpose power applications, it provides 470 µF at 200 V with high ripple handling and extended high‑temperature endurance.

Key value propositions include a compact snap‑in can (L: 3 × D: 2.2 cm; seated height max 1.181 inch), RoHS compliance, and proven endurance under rated ripple current at elevated temperature (105°C).

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 200 V with ±20% tolerance.
• High‑temperature Endurance — Rated to withstand 3000 hours of applied rated ripple current at 105°C as specified in the LGN series endurance criteria.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 1.48 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.22 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting demanding AC/rectified load conditions.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for operation from −40°C to +105°C (applies for the 160–250 V range in the LGN series, which includes this 200 V part).
• Compact Snap‑In Package — Radial, can‑type snap‑in mounting in a one‑rank smaller case than the LGU series; physical size L: 3 × D: 2.2 cm and seated height max 1.181 inch.
• Endurance Performance Criteria — After the specified 3000‑hour endurance test at 105°C with D.C. bias plus rated ripple current, capacitance change remains within ±20%, tan δ is 200% or less of initial specified value, and leakage current remains at or below initial specified limits.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Low‑temperature Stability (for 160–250 V range) — Impedance ratio Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) is specified up to 4, indicating controlled low‑temperature impedance behavior at the rated frequency.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Bulk capacitance and rated ripple capability make this part suitable for smoothing and filtering in power supply circuits where 200 V rating and 470 µF are required.
• High‑temperature operating environments — With specified endurance at 105°C, the LGN2D471MELZ30 supports applications exposed to elevated ambient temperatures while maintaining capacitance and loss characteristics.
• Board‑mount power modules — Snap‑in radial can package allows robust mechanical mounting and simple installation in power module and industrial PCB assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high‑temperature endurance: The 3000‑hour rating at 105°C under rated ripple current provides measurable long‑term performance data for thermal and ripple‑stress designs.
• Compact form factor: One rank smaller case than the LGU series delivers the same electrical capability in a reduced footprint for space‑constrained designs.
• Dual‑frequency ripple specification: Separate ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow designers to assess performance across common power frequencies.
• Clear end‑of‑life limits: Endurance limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current give transparent criteria for reliability planning and lifecycle management.
• Wide operating range: −40°C to +105°C operation supports a broad set of industrial and commercial applications that require temperature resilience.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies materials review and regulatory documentation for product development.
