Overview of LLS1H472MELA – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Snap‑in, 50 V, 4700 µF
The LLS1H472MELA is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal, radial can package designed for general‑purpose electronic applications. It delivers 4.7 mF (4700 µF) capacitance at a 50 V rating, with a standard 85°C category temperature and a -40°C to 85°C operating range.
Engineered for applications that require bulk capacitance and sustained ripple handling, this Nichicon LLS series part combines high rated ripple current capability with a 3000‑hour endurance at 85°C and RoHS compliance.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 4700 µF (4.7 mF) rated at 50 V for bulk energy storage and decoupling in general‑purpose equipment.
- Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal type with a φ25 × 30 mm length package for secure, vertical board mounting and reliable mechanical retention.
- Temperature & Lifetime — Rated for −40°C to 85°C operation with an endurance of 3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple current conditions.
- Ripple Current Performance — Low frequency ripple current of 3070 mA (120 Hz) and high frequency ripple current of 3530.5 mA (50 kHz), supporting sustained AC loading.
- Leakage & Loss — Specified leakage current of 1450 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.30 (DF) at the 50 V rating, measured at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Tolerance — Capacitance tolerance ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable design margins.
- Compliance & Packaging — RoHS‑compliant material construction, supplied in tray packing and in mass production status.
- Endurance Specifications — Meets LLS series endurance criteria: capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ within 200% of initial value, and leakage current not exceeding initial specified value after rated stress (3000 h at 85°C).
Typical Applications
- General‑Purpose Electronics — For general‑purpose electronic equipment requiring a 4700 µF, 50 V snap‑in electrolytic capacitor.
- Power Supply Support — Suitable where sustained ripple current and bulk capacitance are needed in general applications.
- PCB Snap‑in Mounting — Designed for assemblies that utilize snap‑in radial can capacitors for secure board installation in general electronic systems.
Unique Advantages
