LGU1J472MELC

The LGU1J472MELC is a 4700 µF, 63 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LGU snap‑in series. It delivers high bulk capacitance in a radial, snap‑in can designed for PCB snap‑mount installations and general‑purpose electronic use.

Engineered for elevated operating temperatures, this part is specified for −40 °C to 105 °C operation and demonstrably meets endurance requirements for long‑term ripple current exposure, offering a reliable choice where sustained capacitance and ripple handling are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 4700 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 63 V and a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% for bulk energy storage and decoupling needs.
• High‑temperature Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 105 °C with DC bias plus rated ripple current applied, meeting the LGU series endurance specification.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low frequency ripple current of 2.83 A at 120 Hz and high frequency ripple current of 3.255 A at 50 kHz, enabling continued operation under applied AC stress.
• Electrical Loss and Leakage — Dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.25 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, and a specified leakage current of 1630 µA after applied voltage, providing defined electrical behavior for design validation.
• Robust Temperature Range — Operating temperature from −40 °C to +105 °C to support higher ambient and thermally demanding environments.
• Package & Mounting — φ35 × 30 mm can with snap‑in terminals (radial, can — snap‑in) and tray packing for PCB snap‑in assembly; mass production status for volume availability.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant per provided product information.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronic equipment — Use where 4700 µF bulk capacitance at 63 V with snap‑in mounting is required and operation up to 105 °C is expected.
• Power filtering and smoothing — Suitable for circuits that require defined ripple current capability (2.83 A at 120 Hz; 3.255 A at 50 kHz) and stable capacitance under DC bias.
• High‑temperature environments — Applications that need long endurance at elevated temperature, leveraging the 3000‑hour life rating at 105 °C.

Unique Advantages

• Proven long‑term endurance: Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105 °C, supporting designs that demand sustained thermal and electrical stress tolerance.
• Defined ripple performance: Explicit low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings allow predictable thermal and lifetime planning in power circuits.
• High bulk capacitance in a compact can: 4700 µF in a φ35 × 30 mm package gives designers substantial capacitance per board footprint for decoupling and energy storage.
• Clear electrical parameters: Specified tan δ (0.25 at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and leakage current (1630 µA) provide measurable targets for circuit modeling and verification.
• Production readiness and compliance: Tray packing and mass production status combined with RoHS compliance facilitate procurement and manufacturing integration.
