LGU2F471MELB

The LGU2F471MELB is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for general-purpose power applications. It combines a 470 µF capacitance with a 315 V rated voltage in a radial can snap-in package designed for robust board retention and easy assembly.

Key value propositions include high-temperature endurance (105°C), rated ripple-current capability, and RoHS compliance, making this part suitable for designs that require reliable bulk capacitance under sustained thermal and electrical stress.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF at 315 V provides substantial energy storage for bulk filtering and smoothing in high-voltage circuits.
• Temperature Rating — Rated for operation from −25°C to 105°C, with a 105°C standard for elevated-temperature endurance.
• Endurance — Designed to withstand 3000 hours of application of rated ripple current at 105°C, meeting the endurance criteria specified in the datasheet.
• Ripple Current Performance — Specified ripple currents of 1.7 A at 120 Hz and 2.431 A at 50 kHz support sustained AC stress at typical power frequencies and higher-frequency switching environments.
• Mounting & Package — Snap-in terminal, radial can-style package for secure PCB mounting and straightforward insertion into power assemblies.
• Tolerance & Polarization — ±20% capacitance tolerance and polarized construction, matching standard requirements for electrolytic bulk capacitors.
• Regulatory — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power circuits — Suitable where a 315 V, 470 µF polarized capacitor is required for bulk energy storage or decoupling in industrial and commercial equipment.
• High-temperature environments — Intended for assemblies that operate up to 105°C and require long-term ripple endurance.
• Snap-in PCB assemblies — Designed for vertical snap-in mounting in power cabinets, assemblies, and modules where secure board retention is desired.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature endurance: Rated to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, supporting extended life under thermal stress.
• High-voltage capability: 315 V rating enables use in higher-voltage power systems without series stacking.
• Defined ripple current specs: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz (1.7 A) and 50 kHz (2.431 A) allow designers to size thermal and cooling margins accurately.
• Snap-in convenience: Radial snap-in can simplifies assembly and mechanical retention on PCBs for power modules and assemblies.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant to (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting restriction of hazardous substances requirements.
