LGU2P471MELA

The LGU2P471MELA is a Nichicon LGU series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal, radial can package. It provides 470 µF capacitance at a 220 V rating with a polarized design and is offered in tray packing for production use.

Designed for general‑purpose applications, this capacitor combines a 105°C operating temperature range and a demonstrated 3000‑hour endurance under rated ripple current for reliable performance in demanding power applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 220 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk energy storage in polarized circuits.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to 105°C with a life specification of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current of 1.45 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 2.175 A at 50 kHz, supporting sustained AC loading within rated conditions.
• Low Losses — Dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.15 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz for the 220 V rating, indicating controlled dielectric losses under typical test conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 960 µA after standard voltage application conditions at 20°C.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in radial can (φ25×35L physical size) for secure vertical mounting and easy insertion into production assemblies.
• Compliance & Availability — RoHS compliant and in mass production with tray packing for manufacturing convenience.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Power Systems — Use where a 220 V, 470 µF polarized capacitor with high ripple capability and 105°C endurance is required.
• Power Supply Reservoirs — Suitable for applications needing bulk capacitance and controlled leakage at rated voltage and temperature.
• Industrial Electronics — Applicable in industrial assemblies that require snap‑in mounting and robust high‑temperature performance.

Unique Advantages

• Proven 3000‑hour Endurance: Endurance specified at 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current, providing predictable long‑term performance in high‑temperature environments.
• High Ripple Handling: Rated ripple currents of 1.45 A (120 Hz) and 2.175 A (50 kHz) allow sustained AC loading within specified conditions, reducing the need for oversizing.
• Temperature Range: −40°C to 105°C operating range supports deployments across a wide ambient temperature span without spec excursions.
• Compact Snap‑In Form Factor: φ25×35L radial can with snap‑in terminals enables secure mounting and simplified PCB assembly for production lines.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports regulatory and environmental requirements for modern electronics manufacturing.
• Production Ready: Mass production status and tray packing facilitate procurement and volume assembly planning.
