LGN2P471MELY45

The LGN2P471MELY45 is an aluminum electrolytic, snap-in terminal capacitor from Nichicon’s LGN series designed for general-purpose power applications. It delivers 470 µF at a 220 V rating in a compact, snap-in can optimized for robust high-temperature performance.

Key design targets include sustained ripple-current capability and long-term endurance at elevated temperatures: the part is specified to withstand rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 105°C and is compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 220 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance.
• High-temperature Endurance — Endurance rating: 3000 hours at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current: 1.48 A at 120 Hz and 2.22 A at 100 kHz, supporting steady-state ripple handling across typical power frequencies.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for –40°C to +105°C operation.
• Compact Snap-in Package — Radial, snap-in can package; physical size L: 4.5 × D: 2 cm (45 × 20 mm) with a seated height max of 1.772 inch for space-conscious designs.
• Polarized Can — Electrolytic, polarized construction for DC smoothing and energy storage applications.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in high-voltage (around 220 V) power supplies where 470 µF capacitance and sustained ripple handling are required.
• Industrial Power Electronics — DC link and energy-buffering roles in industrial converters and control equipment that operate at elevated temperatures.
• UPS and Energy Storage Modules — Energy buffering and hold-up capacitance in uninterruptible power systems and power-conditioning modules.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high-temperature endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C, enabling reliable operation in hot environments and long-lived deployments.
• Strong ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz give designers measurable limits for thermal and ESR budgeting.
• Space-efficient snap-in form factor: One rank smaller case size compared with the LGU series, offering tighter packaging without sacrificing rated performance.
• Wide operating range: –40°C to +105°C rating supports a broad set of thermal environments for general-purpose power designs.
• RoHS compliance: Meets current RoHS directives for use in regulated markets.
