Overview of LGY1J472MELC30 – Snap‑in 105°C Long‑Life Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 4700 µF, 63 V
The LGY1J472MELC30 is a Nichicon aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal radial can designed for long life and dependable performance in power applications. It delivers 4700 µF capacitance at 63 V with polarized construction and a compact φ35 × 30 mm can size.
Engineered for industrial power supplies and ballast circuits, this part provides extended endurance at elevated temperatures and rated ripple handling for smoothing and filtering duties in general‑purpose industrial electronics.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Tolerance — 4700 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, specified at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Rated Voltage — 63 V DC rating suitable for medium‑voltage power rail applications.
- High‑Temperature Long Life — Endurance rated for 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions, supporting long service life in elevated ambient environments.
- Ripple Current Capability — 2.6 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.99 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support smoothing and decoupling in power converters.
- Leakage Current — 1630 µA specified leakage current after standard applied voltage conditioning.
- Operating Temperature Range — –40°C to +105°C for broad environmental tolerance.
- Package & Mounting — Snap‑in terminal, radial can package designed for board mounting; supplied in tray packing for mass production assembly.
- Electrical Loss (tan δ) — tan δ maximum 0.25 at 120 Hz, 20°C for the 63 V rating (per series specifications).
- RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements.
Typical Applications
- Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and filtering where sustained ripple handling and high‑temperature endurance are required.
- Ballast Circuits — Energy storage and ripple absorption in ballast applications specified in the product series documentation.
- General‑Purpose Power Filtering — Decoupling and bulk capacitance for industrial control equipment and other general‑purpose power electronics.
Unique Advantages
- Extended High‑Temperature Endurance — 5000‑hour rating at 105°C reduces replacement frequency and supports reliability in hot operating environments.
- Robust Ripple Performance — Distinct low‑ and high‑frequency ripple ratings (2.6 A at 120 Hz, 2.99 A at 50 kHz) let designers match the part to converter frequencies and filtering needs.
- Compact High Capacitance — 4700 µF in a φ35 × 30 mm can provides significant bulk energy storage in a space‑efficient snap‑in package.
- Wide Operating Range — –40°C to +105°C operation supports a broad range of industrial environments and thermal conditions.
- Production‑Ready Packaging — Tray packing and snap‑in terminals facilitate repeatable placement and throughput for volume assembly.
