LLS1C473MELB

The LLS1C473MELB is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in radial can package, specified for general-purpose applications. It delivers 47,000 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rating and is designed for mass-production supply with tray packing.

Built to the LLS series 85°C standard, this part combines high bulk capacitance with tested endurance and ripple-handling capability for designs requiring reliable energy storage and smoothing within the specified operating range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage 47,000 µF (47 mF) nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V, tolerance ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Snap-in Radial Can Package Snap-in terminal type in a radial, can-style package for secure PCB mounting and robust mechanical attachment.
• Operating Temperature & Endurance Rated for –40°C to +85°C with endurance validated for 3000 hours at 85°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current (capacitance change within ±20% after test).
• Ripple Current Capability Specified ripple current of 6.93 A at 120 Hz and 7.97 A at 50 kHz, supporting sustained AC ripple conditions within rated limits.
• Leakage and Dissipation Leakage current governed by I ≤ 3√(C·V) after 5 minutes at 20°C; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified (max. 0.50 for 16 V parts at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Packing & Production Supplied in tray packing and listed for mass production to support high-volume assembly processes.
• RoHS Compliance Compliant with the RoHS directive as stated for the LLS series.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose (snap-in) Specified as "General Purpose" in product data and designed with snap-in terminals for applications that require a large-value aluminum electrolytic in a radial can form.
• Mass-production assemblies Tray packing and mass-production designation make this part suitable for high-volume manufacturing workflows.
• High bulk-capacitance requirements Provides 47,000 µF at 16 V for designs that require substantial bulk capacitance within the specified temperature and endurance limits.

Unique Advantages

• High nominal capacitance: 47,000 µF delivers substantial bulk energy capacity for smoothing and decoupling where a single large capacitor is preferred.
• Validated endurance: Endurance testing of 3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple current demonstrates defined long-term performance characteristics.
• Robust ripple handling: Ripple current ratings provided at both 120 Hz and 50 kHz allow designers to assess performance across low- and high-frequency conditions.
• Secure mounting: Snap-in radial can construction provides stable mechanical retention on the PCB for demanding assembly environments.
• Production-ready packaging: Tray packing supports automated handling and high-volume assembly lines.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant as part of the LLS series.
