LGX2E471MELZ40

The LGX2E471MELZ40 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's LGX series featuring a snap‑in terminal radial can. It provides 470 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating with polarized construction for general purpose power applications.

Engineered for power conversion use, this smaller‑sized, RoHS‑compliant part is suited for rectifier circuits in general inverters and switching power supplies where elevated temperature endurance and rated ripple handling are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage for bulk energy storage and smoothing in high‑voltage power rails.
• High Temperature, Long Life: Rated for operation to 105°C with long life assurance — specified to withstand rated ripple current for 5000 hours at 105°C.
• Mounting & Package: Snap‑in terminal, radial can package designed for secure board mounting and high current handling in power assemblies.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 1.62 A at 120 Hz and 2.43 A at 50 kHz to support smoothing of rectified and switched waveforms.
• Operating Temperature Range: Specified operation from −25°C to +105°C to match elevated ambient requirements in power electronics.
• Tolerance & Polarization: Capacitance tolerance ±20% and polarized construction — suitable for DC power circuits.
• Leakage Current Specification: Series leakage current defined by I ≤ 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at 20°C, enabling predictable DC performance.
• RoHS Compliance: Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power Conversion: Bulk smoothing and energy storage in rectifier stages and supply rails of switching power supplies.
• Inverter Systems: Filtering and DC link support for general inverters and motor drive rectifier circuits.
• General Purpose Power Filtering: Decoupling and ripple suppression in industrial power electronics and control systems.

Unique Advantages

• Long life at elevated temperature: 5000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated ripple current delivers predictable aging and replacement planning.
• High voltage rating: 250 V capability allows use in higher‑voltage DC circuits without additional series components.
• Designed for ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies support a range of power supply switching regimes.
• Compact snap‑in packaging: Radial can with snap‑in terminals provides mechanical retention and simplified PCB mounting for power assemblies.
• Measured leakage and loss limits: Leakage current and tan δ limits defined by the series data enable predictable electrical behavior over life and shelf storage.
