Overview of LGU1E472MELZ – 25 V, 4700 µF Snap‑in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LGU1E472MELZ is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGU series. It provides 4700 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating in a radial snap‑in can package sized φ22 × 25L and is offered in tray packing for mass production.
Designed for general‑purpose applications, this part combines high ripple current capability, extended 105°C endurance, and RoHS compliance for use in board‑level assemblies that require reliable bulk capacitance and long operational life.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage 4.7 mF (4700 µF) nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 25 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- Low‑loss Performance Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.4 maximum at 20°C and 120 Hz for the 25 V rating, enabling predictable dissipation characteristics.
- High Ripple Current Capability Rated ripple current of 1.61 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.8515 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), supporting applications with continuous AC ripple stress.
- Leakage Current Maximum leakage current specified at 1020 µA (measured after rated voltage application), supporting predictable standby and leakage behavior.
- Endurance & Temperature Range Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C and specified for operation from −40°C to +105°C, consistent with LGU series endurance characteristics.
- Package & Mounting Radial, snap‑in can package (φ22 × 25L) for secure board mounting and tray packing for production volumes.
- Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- General‑purpose electronics Provides bulk capacitance (4.7 mF at 25 V) for general‑purpose circuits that require a snap‑in radial can mounting style.
- Board‑level assemblies with snap‑in mounting Snap‑in terminal type and radial can package allow secure mechanical mounting in assemblies where this form factor is specified.
- Elevated temperature environments Suitable for applications that require operation across −40°C to +105°C and endurance verified to 3000 hours at 105°C.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 1.61 A (120 Hz) and 1.8515 A (50 kHz) support sustained AC ripple stress in circuits.
- Extended high‑temperature life: 3000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable long‑term performance under elevated temperature and ripple conditions.
- Predictable electrical characteristics: ±20% capacitance tolerance and tan δ specified at 20°C/120 Hz deliver verifiable performance for design validation.
- Compact snap‑in can form factor: φ22 × 25L radial package with snap‑in terminals simplifies board mounting and mechanical retention in production assemblies.
- Production readiness: Tray packing and mass production status support volume procurement and repeatable assembly processes.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance for regulated markets.
