LGN2Z471MELY35

The LGN2Z471MELY35 is a Nichicon aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal package designed for general‑purpose applications. It delivers 470 µF of capacitance at a rated voltage of 180 V with polarized construction and a ±20% capacitance tolerance.

Engineered for sustained operation up to 105°C, this smaller‑sized LGN series part is built to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for designs that require high temperature endurance and reliable ripple handling in a compact snap‑in can.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 180 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, with defined endurance limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current after test.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple handling of 1.38 A at 120 Hz and 2.07 A at 100 kHz, supporting sustained AC ripple conditions common in power circuits.
• Operating Range — Operational temperature range from −40°C to +105°C, suitable for elevated ambient environments within the LGN series limits.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal type in a radial can for secure chassis/PC board installation and robust mechanical mounting.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specified as I ≤ 3/√C µA (after 5 minutes at 20°C) and tan δ limits defined by rated voltage groups per the LGN series specification.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General Power Electronics — For designers needing a 470 µF, 180 V polarized capacitor with proven ripple endurance at elevated temperatures.
• Industrial Equipment — Suitable where compact, high‑temperature electrolytic capacitance is required for filtering and energy buffering in general‑purpose industrial systems.
• Commercial Power Supplies — Use in supply rails that demand sustained ripple current capability and long‑term high‑temperature stability.

Unique Advantages

• Long High‑Temperature Life: Rated to endure 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, offering predictable performance over extended high‑temperature operation.
• Compact Form Factor: Smaller‑sized LGN series can provides a reduced case footprint while delivering 470 µF at 180 V—helpful for space‑constrained layouts.
• Robust Ripple Handling: Defined ripple current ratings at both low (120 Hz) and high (100 kHz) frequencies enable designers to size capacitors for real ripple conditions.
• Secure Snap‑In Mounting: Snap‑in radial can package provides reliable mechanical retention for through‑hole mounting in chassis or PC board assemblies.
• Predictable Electrical Limits: Clear specifications for leakage current and tan δ support conservative margining and reliability planning.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets current RoHS directives for restricted substances, supporting regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial products.
