LGN2E471MELA35

The LGN2E471MELA35 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can package, designed for general‑purpose applications that require high temperature endurance. It delivers 470 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating with polarized operation and a compact case size (L: 3.5 × D: 2.5 cm).

As part of the Nichicon LGN series, this part is specified for operation from –40 °C to +105 °C and is rated to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C. The device is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 250 V and capacitance tolerance of ±20%.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Specified operating temperature range of –40 °C to +105 °C and endurance of 3000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 1.4 A at 120 Hz and 2.1 A at 100 kHz, supporting sustained AC stress at elevated temperatures.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can snap‑in terminal type for secure mechanical mounting and board retention; compact case dimensions L: 3.5 × D: 2.5 cm.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Manufactured to LGN series specifications (leakage current and tan δ per datasheet) for predictable electrical behavior after standard aging and endurance tests.
• Regulatory — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power designs — Provides bulk capacitance and voltage handling where a polarized aluminum electrolytic is specified for general-purpose circuitry.
• Elevated-temperature environments — Suited for equipment and modules that must operate reliably up to +105 °C with proven endurance under rated ripple current.
• Snap‑in mounting scenarios — Intended for assemblies that utilize snap‑in radial cans for mechanical retention and straightforward placement.

Unique Advantages

• Long high‑temperature endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 105 °C with DC bias plus rated ripple current, supporting extended operation in hot environments.
• Compact case sizing: One rank smaller case than the LGU series variant within the LGN family, offering reduced footprint while maintaining performance.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability: Published ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz enable predictable performance across common ripple conditions.
• Robust operating range: Specified from –40 °C to +105 °C, accommodating a wide span of ambient conditions.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for material and environmental conformity.
