LLS2C471MELZ

The LLS2C471MELZ is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's LLS series designed for general‑purpose electronic applications. It combines a 160 V rated voltage with 470 µF capacitance in a compact radial can package for board‑level energy storage and filtering.

Engineered for sustained operation at elevated temperatures, this part delivers defined ripple current capability and a 3000‑hour endurance at 85°C, offering a balance of performance and reliability for production systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for predictable DC bus support.
• Low Loss Performance — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.15 (max.) measured at 20°C and 120 Hz for the 160 V rating, supporting efficient energy handling.
• Ripple Current Endurance — Rated ripple current of 1.86 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.79 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) to withstand steady AC stress in power applications.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 820 µA for predictable standby and quiescent behavior after voltage application.
• Reliability / Lifetime — Endurance rated for 3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple conditions; capacitance change and dissipation factor limits defined by the LLS series specifications.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, can‑type snap‑in terminals in a φ22 × 30 mm (D × L) form factor; tray packing and mass production status support automated assembly and volume procurement.
• Operating Range & Compliance — Specified for −40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Electronics — Use for bulk storage, smoothing and filtering on DC rails within general electronic equipment.
• Industrial Equipment — Suitable for assemblies requiring sustained ripple handling and long endurance at elevated ambient temperatures.
• Production Systems — Tray packing and snap‑in mounting support high‑volume assembly and straightforward replacement in mass production environments.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Capacity: 160 V rating enables use on higher DC buses without series stacking.
• Defined High‑Temperature Endurance: 3000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple current provides quantifiable lifecycle expectations for thermal stress.
• Robust Ripple Handling: Separate low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current specifications (1.86 A @120 Hz, 2.79 A @50 kHz) clarify performance across application frequencies.
• Compact Snap‑in Form Factor: φ22 × 30 mm radial can with snap‑in terminals simplifies PCB retention and mechanical stability in assemblies.
• Production‑Ready Packaging: Tray packing and mass production status streamline procurement and integration into automated manufacturing flows.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant for use in regions and programs requiring restricted substance conformity.
