LLS2C471MELY

The LLS2C471MELY from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LLS series designed for general-purpose power applications. It provides 470 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating with polarized snap-in mounting in a radial can package.

Engineered for long-term ripple endurance, this capacitor withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and equipment-level designs that require robust bulk capacitance and secure board attachment.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF rated capacitance at 160 V provides substantial bulk energy storage for power circuits.
• Snap‑in Terminal, Radial Can — Snap-in mounting offers secure mechanical retention and straightforward insertion into PC boards for reliable assembly.
• Temperature Range — Operates from –40°C to +85°C, supporting a broad ambient range for general-purpose applications.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C when operated under DC bias plus rated ripple current, as specified by the LLS series endurance criteria.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 1.9 A at 120 Hz and 2.85 A at 50 kHz, enabling effective handling of AC components on top of DC bias.
• Tolerance & Polarization — ±20% capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz and polarized construction for use where a defined polarity is required.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk capacitance and rated voltage support smoothing of DC rails in power supply circuits.
• Energy storage for power circuits — 470 µF capacitance provides local energy buffering for transient loads in industrial or equipment-level systems.
• PCB-mounted power modules — Snap-in terminal and radial can package simplify mounting and mechanical retention on printed circuit boards.

Unique Advantages

• Long ripple endurance — Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple at 85°C, delivering predictable ageing behavior under continuous ripple stress.
