LGU2D471MELA

The LGU2D471MELA is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGU series. It provides 470 µF capacitance at a 200 V rated voltage in a compact φ25 × 30 mm can, designed for general-purpose applications.

Key performance characteristics include operation over a −40°C to 105°C temperature range, rated ripple-current capability at both low and high frequencies, and a 3000-hour endurance rating at 105°C—delivering stable performance where long-term temperature endurance and ripple handling are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 200 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 105°C under the specified DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple-Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current: 1.5 A at 120 Hz; high-frequency ripple current: 2.25 A at 50 kHz, supporting applications with significant AC ripple content.
• Low Loss Characteristic — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.15 for the 200 V rating (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), indicating controlled dissipation.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 910 µA, measured after rated voltage application.
• Robust Temperature Range — Operating range from −40°C to 105°C, allowing use across a wide environmental span.
• Snap-In Can Package — Radial, snap-in terminal construction in a φ25 × 30 mm can for secure board mounting and tray packing for production handling.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose (Snap-in mounting) — For designs that require a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor with 470 µF capacitance and 200 V rating.
• General-purpose (High-temperature operation) — For general-purpose systems needing operation across −40°C to 105°C with verified 3000-hour endurance at 105°C.
• General-purpose (High ripple environments) — For applications that demand rated ripple-current performance of 1.5 A at 120 Hz and 2.25 A at 50 kHz.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C ensures sustained performance under prolonged thermal stress.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz provide quantifiable performance for low- and high-frequency ripple scenarios.
• Controlled dissipation: Tan δ of 0.15 (at 200 V, 120 Hz, 20°C) supports predictable thermal behavior and loss budgeting in designs.
• Compact, production-ready package: φ25 × 30 mm snap-in can with tray packing aids efficient assembly and handling in manufacturing.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance supports restricted-substance requirements.
• Production availability: Listed as mass production, indicating ready supply for ongoing production needs.
