LLS2E471MELB

The LLS2E471MELB is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose applications. It delivers 470 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating in a radial can snap-in package.

Engineered for reliability under sustained ripple stress, this part withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suited to applications that require robust bulk capacitance and ripple-current endurance within an –40°C to +85°C operating range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage and capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Snap-In Radial Can Package — Snap-in terminal mounting for secure board retention in through-hole assemblies; package case described as radial, can - snap-in.
• Operating Temperature Range — Rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C (for 16 to 250 V ratings), supporting a broad ambient range for general-purpose designs.
• Ripple Current Endurance — Qualified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C. Specified ripple current values include 2.04 A at 120 Hz and 3.06 A at 50 kHz.
• Reliability Characteristics — Endurance defined as capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ ≤ 200% of initial spec, and leakage current less than or equal to initial specified value after accelerated testing.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Physical Dimensions — Compact radial dimensions listed as L: 2.5 × D: 3 cm with a seated height specification included in the product data.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling for general-purpose circuits where a 470 µF, 250 V snap-in electrolytic is required.
• Bulk Energy Storage (General Purpose) — Suitable for applications that require stable bulk capacitance and endurance under sustained ripple current at elevated temperature.
• Through-Hole Assembly Designs — Snap-in radial can package for secure mechanical retention in through-hole PCB layouts for general-purpose electronics.

Unique Advantages
