LLG2E471MELA25

The LLG2E471MELA25 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LLG series, offering 470 µF capacitance at a 250 V rated voltage. Designed as a smaller-sized snap-in can, it is suited for general-purpose applications and equipment downsizing where a compact, high-capacitance, high-voltage solution is needed.

Key value propositions include a compact 25 × 25 mm can, robust ripple-current capability across low and high frequencies, 2,000 hour endurance at 85 °C, and RoHS compliance for regulated designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage, tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Snap-in Terminal Package — Radial, can-style snap-in mounting for secure board retention and quick assembly; packaged in trays for production handling.
• Compact Size — Case dimensions φ25 × 25 mm provide a smaller footprint to support equipment downsizing without sacrificing capacitance.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 2.0 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 3.0 A (100 kHz) to support demanding AC ripple conditions.
• Endurance — Rated for 2,000 hours at 85 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after the endurance test.
• Electrical Loss & Leakage — tan δ up to 0.15 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and measured leakage current 1.02 mA.
• Operating Temperature — Specified for –40 °C to +85 °C operation (for 160 to 250 V range), supporting a wide range of ambient conditions.
• Compliance & Status — RoHS compliant and in mass production with tray packing for volume manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power modules — Suitable where a 470 µF, 250 V snap-in electrolytic capacitor is required for compact, high-voltage designs.
• Equipment downsizing — The LLG series’ smaller case size helps reduce PCB area for systems aiming for smaller mechanical envelopes.
• High-ripple circuits — Components and subassemblies that require sustained ripple handling at both low and high frequencies can leverage the specified ripple current ratings.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high-voltage capacity — Combines 470 µF and 250 V in a φ25 × 25 mm can to deliver significant energy storage in a reduced footprint.
• Dual-frequency ripple performance — Rated ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz provide designers explicit data for both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Proven endurance at elevated temperature — 2,000 hours at 85 °C under rated conditions provides quantifiable durability for thermal-stressed applications.
• Measurable loss and leakage characteristics — tan δ (0.15) and documented leakage current help predict AC losses and initial standby behavior in designs.
• Production-ready packaging — Tray packing and mass-production status simplify procurement and high-volume assembly planning.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS-compliant construction supports regulated product requirements.
