Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 250 V and a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (–20% ~ 20%).
• High-Temperature Long Life — Long Life series rated to withstand 10,000 hours of ripple current application at 105°C, designed for sustained performance at elevated temperature.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for operation from –40 °C to +105 °C, supporting a wide thermal envelope for many industrial and commercial environments.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 1.4 A at 120 Hz and 2.1 A at 50 kHz, enabling use where AC ripple handling is required.
• Mounting & Package — Snap-in terminal, radial can package (L: 4.5 × D: 2.5 cm) for secure board mounting and compact footprint; polarized construction.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current defined by I ≤ 3√(C·V) µA after 5 minutes application of rated voltage at 20 °C (as per series specification).
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Power Systems — Bulk capacitance and ripple handling for general-purpose power circuits where 250 V, 470 µF capacitance is required.
• Industrial Equipment — Long-life, high-temperature performance suited to industrial control and power subsystems operating up to 105 °C.
• Commercial Power Supplies — Snap-in radial package for board-mounted filtering and energy storage in commercial power conversion designs.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Long-Life Rating — 10,000-hour endurance at 105 °C under rated ripple current ensures predictable aging and longevity in elevated-temperature deployments.
• High-Voltage Bulk Capacitance — 470 µF at 250 V provides substantial stored energy for smoothing and transient support in higher-voltage circuits.
• Robust Ripple Performance — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (1.4 A at 120 Hz, 2.1 A at 50 kHz) support mixed-frequency power environments.
• Secure Snap-In Mounting — Radial, snap-in can package provides reliable mechanical retention for through-hole PCB installations.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — –40 °C to +105 °C rating accommodates a broad set of ambient and elevated-temperature use cases.
• RoHS Compliance — Meets applicable RoHS directives for restricted substances.
