LGN2V471MELA50

The LGN2V471MELA50 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose use. It provides 470 µF capacitance at a 350 V rating in a compact radial can snap-in package with polarization.

Engineered for elevated-temperature operation, this part is specified to operate up to 105°C and withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple-current application at that temperature, making it suitable for designs where sustained thermal and ripple performance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage – 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 350 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, for higher-voltage energy storage and filtering.
• High-Temperature Endurance – Rated operating temperature up to 105°C and specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple-current at 105°C.
• Snap-In Mounting Package – Radial, can-style snap-in terminals for secure board retention and straightforward insertion in through-hole assemblies.
• Ripple Current Capability – Rated ripple current of 1.4 A at 120 Hz and 2.002 A at 100 kHz, supporting applications with continuous ripple demands.
• Polarized Electrolytic Design – Polarized capacitor intended for DC applications where polarity is observed.
• RoHS Compliant – Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering – Bulk smoothing and decoupling where a polarized, high-voltage electrolytic capacitor is required.
• High-temperature environments – Systems that require component operation up to 105°C and sustained ripple performance.
• Through-hole power assemblies – Snap-in terminal format for reliable mechanical retention in radial, can-style PCB layouts.

Unique Advantages

• Endurance at elevated temperature: Specified 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple-current stress, providing predictable life performance in hot operating conditions.
• Compact snap-in form factor: Radial canned design with snap-in terminals simplifies assembly while saving board space compared to larger case sizes.
• High-voltage capability: 350 V rating enables use in higher-voltage power systems without resorting to series stacks of lower-voltage capacitors.
• Measurable ripple handling: Defined ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz give clear guidance for thermal and lifetime planning under AC ripple loads.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in regions and products requiring restricted-substance adherence.
