LGU2P471MELY

The LGU2P471MELY is a 470 µF, 220 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LGU series, featuring a snap-in terminal (radial, can - snap-in) package and tray packing for production handling. Designed for general-purpose electronic applications, it delivers high ripple-current capability with a rated operating temperature range from −40°C to 105°C and a guaranteed endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 220 V, tolerance ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Snap‑In Mounting — Radial snap-in (can, snap-in) package for secure through‑hole mounting and reliable mechanical retention.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C when subjected to DC bias plus rated ripple current, supporting long-term high-temperature operation.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.45 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.175 A (50 kHz), suitable for applications requiring significant ripple handling.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 960 µA.
• Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to 105°C for broad environmental tolerance.
• Compact Size — Cylindrical can with dimensions φ20 × 50 mm (L: 5 × D: 2 cm) for space-efficient power assemblies.
• Regulatory Compliance & Production — RoHS‑compliant and available in mass production with tray packing for streamlined assembly.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Electronics — Suitable where a 470 µF, 220 V polarized capacitor is required for energy storage or DC link support in general-purpose circuits.
• Power Supply Filtering — Handles rated ripple currents (1.45 A at 120 Hz / 2.175 A at 50 kHz) and long endurance at 105°C, supporting smoothing and ripple management in power modules.
• Industrial Power Modules — Snap‑in mounting and robust temperature/endurance ratings make it appropriate for industrial power assemblies that demand reliable bulk capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current ensures sustained performance in high-temperature environments.
• High Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies reduce stress on downstream circuitry and support stable power delivery.
• Secure Mechanical Mounting: Snap-in terminal design provides reliable retention for through‑hole assemblies and power chassis installations.
• Production‑Ready Packaging: Tray packing and mass production status simplify procurement and assembly planning for volume builds.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS‑compliant materials support environmental requirements for modern electronic products.
