LGU2D471MELB

The LGU2D471MELB is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGU series. It provides 470 µF capacitance at a 200 V rating in a compact radial can (φ30 × 25 mm) designed for general-purpose applications.

Engineered for elevated-temperature operation and sustained ripple handling, this component delivers long endurance at 105°C and is RoHS compliant for modern manufacturing requirements.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 200 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High-temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to 105°C with a life/endurance specification of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias.
• Ripple Current Capability — Supports 1.5 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.25 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) for effective ripple handling across frequencies.
• Loss and Leakage — Low loss with tan δ of 0.15 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C) and a specified leakage current of 910 µA.
• Package & Mounting — Snap-in, radial can style (φ30 × 25 mm) for secure board mounting; supplied in tray packing and available in mass production.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant per provided product data.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power systems — Suitable where a 470 µF, 200 V electrolytic capacitor with high-temperature endurance is required.
• High-temperature environments — Designed for continuous operation up to 105°C with a 3000-hour endurance rating at that temperature.
• High ripple conditions — Supports significant ripple current at both low (120 Hz) and high (50 kHz) frequencies as specified.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 200 V rating provides headroom for higher-voltage circuits within the LGU series range.
• Extended high-temperature life: 3000-hour endurance at 105°C supports designs that demand long-term thermal reliability.
• Frequency-flexible ripple performance: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz allow predictable performance across common ripple regimes.
• Compact snap-in form factor: φ30 × 25 mm radial can with snap-in terminals for robust board retention and simplified assembly.
• Clear electrical characteristics: Defined tan δ (0.15) and leakage current (910 µA) measurements enable precise design trade-offs.
• Production-ready availability: Tray packing and mass production status support volume procurement and assembly workflows.
