LLS2D471MELZ

The LLS2D471MELZ from Nichicon is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 200 V with a nominal capacitance of 470 µF and ±20% tolerance. It is part of the LLS series and is designed for general-purpose applications that require a compact, high-voltage electrolytic solution.

Key performance attributes include a low dissipation factor (tanδ 0.15 at 20°C, 120 Hz), high ripple-current capability (1.97 A at 120 Hz and 2.955 A at 50 kHz), a specified leakage current of 910 µA, and endurance of 3000 hours at 85°C. The capacitor is RoHS compliant and supplied in a radial can snap-in package (φ22×30L).

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 200 V and ±20% tolerance, providing predictable bulk capacitance for designs that require higher voltage handling.
• Snap-in Package — Radial, can-type snap-in mounting (φ22×30L; L: 3 × D: 2.2 cm) for secure board retention and straightforward assembly into rack or panel-mount power modules.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple-current performance of 1.97 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.955 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) to support applications with significant AC ripple stress.
• Low Dissipation Factor — tanδ of 0.15 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, indicating low dielectric losses at the specified test conditions.
• Endurance — Designed to meet performance requirements after 3000 hours of rated ripple-current application at 85°C, with limits defined for capacitance change, tanδ, and leakage current.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for use from −40°C to +85°C to accommodate a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 910 µA after rated voltage application, allowing designers to budget for standby and leakage currents.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant, aligning with environmental compliance requirements.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose designs — Suited where a 200 V, 470 µF snap-in electrolytic capacitor is required for bulk capacitance and energy storage in general-purpose applications.
• High-ripple environments — Applicable to circuits that impose significant ripple current given the specified low- and high-frequency ripple-current ratings.
• Long-life systems — Appropriate for equipment designs that need components with defined endurance (3000 hours at 85°C) and stable performance over time.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capacitance in a compact footprint: 470 µF at 200 V in a φ22×30L snap-in can delivers substantial stored energy without excessive board area.
• Robust ripple handling: 1.97 A (120 Hz) and 2.955 A (50 kHz) ripple ratings help manage thermal stress and prolong service life under continuous ripple conditions.
• Defined long-term endurance: 3000-hour endurance rating at 85°C gives clear expectations for long-term performance and reliability under rated stress.
• Low dielectric loss: tanδ 0.15 at 20°C/120 Hz minimizes power dissipation in applications operating near those test conditions.
• Board-ready snap-in mounting: Radial snap-in terminals and standardized dimensions enable repeatable assembly and mechanical stability.
• Environmental compliance: RoHS status aligns with regulatory requirements for lead-free designs.
