LLS2A472MELC

The LLS2A472MELC is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LLS series, rated 100 V with 4700 µF (4.7 mF) capacitance and ±20% tolerance. Engineered for general‑purpose power applications, it delivers sustained ripple current capability and long‑term endurance in a compact radial can (φ35 × 40 mm).

This part is designed for applications that require robust ripple handling and long life at elevated temperatures, offering a 3000‑hour lifespan at 85°C and compliance with RoHS requirements. It is available in tray packing and is in mass production.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 4700 µF (4.7 mF) rated at 100 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and DC bus requirements.
• Snap‑in Radial Can Package — φ35 × 40 mm form factor with snap‑in terminals for secure mounting and simplified PCB installation.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 5230 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 6014.5 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support circuits with significant AC ripple stress.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Rated to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C, meeting the series endurance specification.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Specified leakage current of 2050 µA and tan δ of 0.2 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz for predictable electrical behavior.
• Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to 85°C for operation across a wide ambient range.
• Regulatory Compliance & Production — RoHS compliant, tray packed, and in mass production for volume deployment.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Electronics — Suitable where a 4700 µF, 100 V capacitor is needed for bulk capacitance in power circuits.
• Power Supply Filtering — Fits filtering and smoothing roles that require sustained ripple current endurance (5.23 A at 120 Hz; 6.014 A at 50 kHz).
• Industrial Equipment — Appropriate for systems operating in environments from −40°C to 85°C and requiring long life at elevated temperature (3000 h at 85°C).

Unique Advantages

• Sustained ripple endurance — Rated ripple current and 3000‑hour endurance at 85°C support continuous duty in ripple‑stress environments.
• Clear performance specifications — Defined tan δ (0.2 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and quantified leakage current enable predictable design margins.
• Snap‑in mounting — Radial snap‑in terminals simplify board assembly and provide secure mechanical retention for larger capacitance values.
• Production readiness — Tray packing and mass production status ease procurement and ramp for volume designs.
• RoHS compliant — Meets current RoHS directive requirements for environmental compliance.
