LGU2P471MELB

The LGU2P471MELB from Nichicon is a snap‑in aluminum electrolytic capacitor delivering 470 µF at a 220 V rating in a radial, can‑style snap‑in package (φ30 × 25 mm). It is designed as a 105°C standard device with a long endurance profile and RoHS compliance for general purpose power and electronics applications.

Key value comes from its high ripple current capability and 3000‑hour endurance at 105°C, providing durable bulk capacitance and smoothing in designs that require sustained thermal and electrical stress tolerance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 220 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20% for bulk energy storage and filtering.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C with an endurance specification of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low‑frequency ripple current of 1.45 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current of 2.175 A (50 kHz) to support AC ripple and switching environments.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Specified leakage current of 960 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable electrical behavior.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in, radial can package (φ30 × 25L mm) supplied in tray packing for board‑level insertion and secure mechanical retention.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directive, supporting regulatory requirements for lead‑restricted applications.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — Provides bulk capacitance and smoothing in assemblies where a 220 V, 470 µF snap‑in capacitor is required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Suited for DC link and filter stages that benefit from high ripple current endurance and long life at elevated temperature.
• Industrial Equipment — Applicable where sustained operation to 105°C and multi‑hour endurance under ripple conditions are needed.

Unique Advantages

• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions ensures extended operational life in thermally demanding environments.
• Robust Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents of 1.45 A (120 Hz) and 2.175 A (50 kHz) allow reliable performance in both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple scenarios.
• Predictable Electrical Characteristics: Low leakage (960 µA) and defined tan δ (0.15) provide stable behavior for designers tuning power and filter circuits.
• Secure Snap‑In Mounting: Radial, snap‑in can package (φ30 × 25 mm) simplifies board retention and mechanical stability for through‑hole assemblies.
• Regulatory Readiness: RoHS compliance supports deployment in lead‑restricted markets and assemblies.
• Tray Packing for Production: Supplied in tray packing to support handling and insertion during manufacturing.
