LLS1K472MELA

The LLS1K472MELA from Nichicon is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in, radial can package designed for general-purpose applications. It delivers a 4.7 mF capacitance at a rated voltage of 80 V with polarized terminals and is RoHS‑compliant.

Engineered as an 85°C standard snap-in device, the LLS1K472MELA is specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple‑current stress at 85°C, making it a reliable choice where sustained ripple handling and elevated-temperature endurance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 4.7 mF capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for applications needing significant bulk capacitance at elevated DC voltages.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal mounting enables robust PCB retention and straightforward installation in radial, can‑style assemblies.
• 85°C Endurance — Specified to endure 3000 hours with rated ripple current at 85°C; after the endurance test the capacitance change is within ±20% and leakage current remains within initial limits.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 4.28 A at 120 Hz and 4.922 A at 50 kHz, supporting designs with sustained AC/rectified ripple stress.
• Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to +85°C operating range, allowing use across a broad set of ambient conditions.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized electrolytic design for DC applications where polarity is defined.
• RoHS Compliance — Conforms to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Clear Marking — Printed white lettering on a black sleeve for easy identification and polarity confirmation.
• Compact Footprint — Physical dimensions L: 5 cm × D: 2.5 cm for space‑efficient placement in assemblies.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power circuits — Bulk smoothing and energy storage where an 80 V rating and 4.7 mF capacitance are required.
• Circuits with sustained ripple — Designs that require continuous ripple handling benefit from the specified 4.28 A (120 Hz) and 4.922 A (50 kHz) ripple current ratings and 3000‑hour endurance at 85°C.
• Industrial and commercial assemblies — Snap‑in radial mounting and clear sleeve marking simplify installation and serviceability in panel and chassis applications.

Unique Advantages

• Long‑term elevated‑temperature endurance: Endurance specification of 3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple conditions supports reliable lifecycle performance in warm environments.
• High ripple capability: Measured ripple currents at 120 Hz and 50 kHz reduce the risk of overheating under AC or rectified loads, supporting stable operation.
• Robust mechanical mounting: Snap‑in terminals provide secure PCB retention for radial can installations, easing assembly and mechanical reliability.
• Clear polarity and identification: White printing on a black sleeve aids correct assembly and maintenance.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance aligns the capacitor with environmental material requirements for many markets.
• Compact size for bulk capacitance: Provides 4.7 mF in a compact L × D footprint (5 × 2.5 cm), helping conserve board and chassis space.
