Overview of LGN2G471MELC35 – 470 µF, 400 V Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor (105°C)
The LGN2G471MELC35 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose power applications. It delivers 470 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating in a compact radial can package sized 3.5 × 3.5 cm.
Engineered for high‑temperature endurance, this part withstands rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 105°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable where sustained ripple handling and long operating life are required.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage; polarized design for DC power applications.
- High‑Temperature Endurance — Specified to withstand rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 105°C, supporting sustained operation in elevated ambient environments.
- Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 1.68 A at 120 Hz and 2.402 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing and filtering under AC superimposed conditions.
- Temperature Range — Operates from −25°C to +105°C (appropriate for 350–600 V rated parts), matching the part’s voltage class requirement.
- Electrical Reliability — Leakage current specified by I ≤ 3√C (µA) after 5 minutes at 20°C; tan δ max 0.15 for 160–420 V rated group, providing verifiable electrical characteristics.
- Compact Snap‑In Package — Radial can, snap‑in terminal style in a smaller case (one rank smaller than LGU), simplifying board mounting for power assemblies.
- Size — Physical footprint: L: 3.5 × D: 3.5 cm, enabling denser power module layouts where space is constrained.
- Regulatory — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- Power Supply Filtering — Bulk smoothing and ripple reduction in high‑voltage DC power supplies, leveraging the 400 V rating and specified ripple current capability.
- Industrial Power Electronics — Energy buffering and decoupling in industrial converters and inverters where high temperature endurance and long life are required.
- Energy Storage & Smoothing — Local energy storage for pulse loads or transient suppression in medium‑power systems that need stable capacitance over time and temperature.
Unique Advantages
- Proven high‑temperature lifetime — 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current gives predictable aging behavior for long‑term designs.
- High voltage capability — 400 V rating supports mid‑to‑high voltage DC rails without additional series arrangements.
- Compact snap‑in form factor — One rank smaller case than the LGU series allows more compact assemblies while retaining snap‑in mounting robustness.
- Measurable ripple performance — Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz helps match the part to converter and switching‑frequency environments.
- RoHS compliant — Meets current RoHS requirements for environmentally sensitive designs.
