Overview of LGN2E471MELB25 – 470 µF, 250 V Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGN2E471MELB25 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 470 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating. It is a radial, can‑type snap‑in component designed for general‑purpose power applications where elevated temperature endurance and high ripple handling are required.
Built to withstand sustained ripple at elevated temperature, this part delivers long‑life performance (3000 hours at 105°C), measurable low loss (tan δ 0.15), and compact snap‑in packaging (φ30 × 25 mm) supplied in tray packaging for mass production.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage: 470 µF nominal capacitance rated at 250 V for bulk energy storage in higher‑voltage circuits.
- Snap‑in Mounting & Package: Radial, can‑snap‑in package (φ30 × 25 mm) designed for secure mechanical and electrical connection on power PCBs.
- High Temperature Endurance: Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C with a 3000‑hour endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current.
- Ripple Current Capability: Low‑frequency ripple current 1.4 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 2.1 A (100 kHz), suitable for applications with continuous ripple stress.
- Electrical Loss & Leakage: Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.15 and typical leakage current 1020 µA, supporting predictable loss and leakage behavior.
- Compliance & Production Ready: RoHS‑compliant, packaged in trays and listed for mass production use.
- Series Reliability: LGN series specification includes withstanding 3000 hours application of rated ripple current at 105°C and one rank smaller case size than LGU (series information).
Typical Applications
- Industrial Power Supplies: Bulk smoothing and energy storage in general‑purpose power supply designs that require a 250 V rating and robust ripple current capability.
- Power Conversion & Inverters: DC link and filtering roles in power conversion circuits where sustained ripple handling and elevated temperature endurance are needed.
- General‑Purpose Electronics: Applications that need reliable bulk capacitance and long life at up to 105°C for continuous operation in industrial or commercial equipment.
Unique Advantages
- Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 3000 hours rated life at 105°C under rated ripple current provides predictable lifetime performance for sustained high‑temperature use.
- High Ripple Handling Across Frequencies: Specified ripple current of 1.4 A at 120 Hz and 2.1 A at 100 kHz supports both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple environments.
- Compact Snap‑In Form Factor: φ30 × 25 mm snap‑in can offers a space‑efficient solution with secure PCB mounting for production assemblies.
- Controlled Loss and Leakage: tan δ of 0.15 and leakage current of 1020 µA give clear electrical characteristics for predictable circuit behavior.
- Production‑Oriented Packaging: Tray packing and mass production readiness simplify procurement and assembly for volume manufacturing.
- RoHS Compliant: Environmental compliance supports deployment in regulated markets.
