LGN2V471MELC30

The LGN2V471MELC30 is a 470 µF, 350 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in radial can designed for general‑purpose applications. It is a smaller‑sized, snap‑in terminal type from Nichicon's LGN series with rated operation to 105 °C and RoHS compliance.

Designed to withstand extended ripple stress, this part is specified to endure 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C and offers defined electrical limits for capacitance, dissipation factor, and leakage after endurance and shelf‑life tests.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 350 V and ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for continuous operation up to 105 °C and specified to withstand 3000 hours of DC bias plus rated ripple current at 105 °C with defined post‑test limits.
• Snap‑In Radial Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package for secure PCB mounting and robust mechanical retention.
• Ripple Current Performance — Specified ripple current of 1.4 A at 120 Hz and 2.002 A at 100 kHz for the part, enabling design margin across common ripple spectrums.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Endurance Characteristics — After the 3000‑hour endurance test at 105 °C (DC bias plus rated ripple), capacitance change remains within ±20% of initial value; tan δ ≤200% of initial spec; leakage current ≤ initial specified value.
• Operating Range — Specified operating temperature range of −25 °C to +105 °C for the 350 V rating.
• Compact Footprint — One rank smaller case size than the LGU series, with physical dimensions L: 3 × D: 3.5 cm and a maximum seated height of 1.181 inch.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Handling — Suitable where a 470 µF, 350 V snap‑in electrolytic is required for bulk capacitance in general‑purpose designs with 105 °C ambient expectations.
• High‑Temperature Endurance Designs — Appropriate for systems that require specified performance after prolonged ripple exposure at elevated temperature (3000 hours at 105 °C).
• PCB Snap‑In Installations — For assemblies that use snap‑in radial cans to secure capacitors on the board while retaining defined electrical performance.

Unique Advantages

• Long Endurance Under Ripple Stress — Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C, preserving capacitance, tan δ, and leakage within defined limits.
• High Voltage Capability — 350 V rating provides margin for higher‑voltage general‑purpose applications within the LGN series voltage range.
• Measured Ripple Ratings — Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 100 kHz let designers assess thermal and ripple performance across frequency ranges.
• Smaller Case Size — One rank smaller case than LGU offers a more compact footprint while maintaining rated performance.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances, supporting regulatory and environmental goals.
