LLS2D471MELY

The LLS2D471MELY is a snap-in terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LLS series, rated at 470 µF and 200 V. It is designed for general-purpose applications that require a high-voltage electrolytic solution with robust ripple-current handling and long endurance.

Key attributes include a wide operating temperature range of −40°C to 85°C, 3000 hours endurance at 85°C, low-frequency ripple current capability of 2.03 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current capability of 3.045 A (50 kHz), and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 200 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable where high DC voltage handling is required.
• Snap-in Radial Can Package — Radial, can-type snap-in mounting in a compact φ20 × 35 mm footprint to facilitate secure board or chassis installation in mass-produced assemblies (tray packing).
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Meets endurance specification of 3000 hours at 85°C when subjected to rated ripple and DC bias, with capacitance change within ±20% and leakage current within initial specification after the test.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 2030 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3045 mA at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support demanding ripple conditions in power circuits.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics — tan δ (dissipation factor) of 0.15 (max.) at 20°C and 120 Hz for 200 V rating, and specified leakage current of 910 µA for initial performance expectations.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Rated for −40°C to 85°C operation for reliable performance across standard ambient conditions.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements for material compliance.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power circuits — For general-purpose designs that require a 470 µF, 200 V electrolytic capacitor with snap-in mounting and long endurance at elevated temperature.
• High-ripple environments — Where applications must accommodate 2.03 A ripple at 120 Hz or 3.045 A ripple at 50 kHz while maintaining specified performance.
• Mass-production assemblies — Snap-in radial can in tray packing and compact φ20 × 35 mm size support consistent placement and assembly in volume manufacturing.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 200 V rating enables use in higher-voltage DC applications without up-rating multiple lower-voltage capacitors.
• Robust ripple handling: Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents (2.03 A @ 120 Hz; 3.045 A @ 50 kHz) reduce thermal stress and extend service life under ripple load.
• Long endurance at 85°C: 3000-hour endurance provides predictable lifespan for designs exposed to sustained elevated ambient temperatures.
• Predictable loss and leakage: Maximum tan δ of 0.15 and specified leakage current (910 µA) give measurable electrical behavior for power-budgeting and reliability planning.
• Compact snap-in form factor: φ20 × 35 mm radial can with snap-in terminals streamlines mechanical mounting and retention for chassis or PCB assemblies.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports material-restricted product requirements.
