Overview of LGU1H472MELZ – Aluminum Electrolytic Snap‑In Capacitor, 4700 µF, 50 V
The LGU1H472MELZ is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGU series, offering 4700 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating. It is designed for general‑purpose electronic applications that require bulk capacitance with robust ripple endurance and long life at elevated temperatures.
Key attributes include a high temperature rating of 105°C, a rated endurance of 3000 hours under ripple stress, and a compact radial snap‑in can (φ22 × 45 mm) supplied in tray packing for production use.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage 4700 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20% for reliable bulk energy storage.
- High‑Temperature Endurance Rated for operation from −40°C to 105°C and specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C.
- Snap‑In Package Radial, snap‑in can (φ22 × 45 mm) mounting for secure board attachment and easy assembly; packaged in trays for mass production.
- Ripple Current Performance Low‑frequency ripple current 2.56 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 2.944 A at 50 kHz, supporting a range of power‑related stress conditions.
- Electrical Loss and Leakage Dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.30 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, and a measured leakage current of 1450 µA after rated voltage application.
- RoHS Compliant Product meets RoHS requirements as stated in the datasheet.
Typical Applications
- General‑purpose electronic equipment — Suited to designs that call for bulk capacitance and dependable long‑term operation at elevated temperatures.
