Overview of LGU2F471MELC – 315 V Snap‑In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 470 µF
The LGU2F471MELC is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general purpose electronic applications. It delivers 470 µF capacitance at a 315 V rating in a radial, can‑style snap‑in package (φ35 × 30 mm).
Engineered for sustained operation up to 105°C, this part provides long endurance under rated ripple current conditions and is supplied in tray packaging for mass production use.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 315 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- High‑temperature Endurance — Specified for 3000 hours at 105°C when subjected to rated DC bias plus rated ripple current.
- Ripple Current Capability — 1.700 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.431 A at 50 kHz (high frequency), supporting applications with substantial ripple demands.
- Low Loss Factor (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.15 maximum measured at 20°C and 120 Hz for the 315 V rating, indicating controlled dissipation.
- Leakage Current — Rated leakage current of 1150 µA (measured after specified voltage application at 20°C).
- Package & Mounting — Radial, can snap‑in construction (snap‑in terminal type) for secure board mounting in power assemblies.
- Operating Temperature Range — −25°C to +105°C for the 315 V rating.
- Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.
- Production Status — Available in tray packing for mass production volumes.
Typical Applications
- General Purpose Electronics — Suitable where a 315 V, 470 µF snap‑in electrolytic capacitor is required for bulk capacitance in general electronic designs.
- High‑Voltage Power Modules — Used in assemblies that require a high‑voltage aluminum electrolytic capacitor with defined ripple current capability and 105°C endurance.
- Industrial Power Equipment — Applicable to industrial systems needing robust capacitors with long endurance at elevated temperature.
Unique Advantages
- High Voltage Capability: 315 V rating expands design flexibility for higher DC bus voltages.
- Proven Endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current, assuring predictable long‑term performance in high‑temperature environments.
- Strong Ripple Handling: 1.700 A (120 Hz) and 2.431 A (50 kHz) ripple ratings enable reliable operation in circuits with significant AC content on the DC rail.
- Low Dissipation: tan δ of 0.15 at 120 Hz and 20°C limits internal losses and helps manage self‑heating in sustained operation.
- Practical Packaging: Snap‑in radial can (φ35 × 30 mm) simplifies mechanical retention for power assemblies and supports tray packing for production runs.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant construction supports regulatory requirements for electronics manufacturing.
