Overview of LLS2E471MELZ – 250V, 470µF Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LLS2E471MELZ is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 250 V with a nominal capacitance of 470 µF and ±20% tolerance. It is a polarized, radial can (snap-in) capacitor designed for general-purpose applications that require high voltage handling in a compact snap-in package.
This part is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C, with a rated endurance of 3000 hours at 85°C and the ability to withstand rated ripple current. It is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packing for production use.
Key Features
- Capacitance and Tolerance — 470 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Rated Voltage — 250 V DC rating to support higher-voltage circuits within its operating range.
- Snap-in Terminal Package — Radial, can-type snap-in mounting for secure chassis or board retention and simplified assembly.
- Temperature Range — Specified for −40°C to +85°C operation to cover a wide range of ambient conditions.
- Endurance — Designed to meet the endurance specification of 3000 hours at 85°C with applied DC bias plus rated ripple current.
- Loss and Leakage Characteristics — Maximum tan δ of 0.15 at 20°C and 120 Hz (for 250 V rating) and a measured leakage current of 1020 µA as specified.
- Ripple Current Capability — Rated for 2.15 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.225 A at 50 kHz (high frequency) for applications requiring significant ripple handling.
- Mechanical Size and Packaging — Compact φ22 × 35 mm can dimensions (L: 3.5 × D: 2.2 cm), provided in tray packing and available in mass production quantities.
- Regulatory — RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- General-Purpose Electronic Equipment — Use where a polarized 250 V, 470 µF snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required for bulk capacitance or energy storage in general-purpose assemblies.
- High-Voltage Circuit Sections — Suitable for circuits that require a 250 V rated electrolytic capacitor with defined ripple-current capability and long endurance at 85°C.
- Production and Repair — Tray-packed and mass-production ready for manufacturing environments and replacement in existing designs that match its electrical and mechanical profile.
Unique Advantages
- High Voltage with Large Capacitance: Combines a 250 V rating with 470 µF capacitance to address higher-voltage design needs without stepping up to larger form factors.
- Snap-in Mechanical Retention: Snap-in terminals simplify mounting and secure the component in chassis or board-based assemblies for reliable mechanical retention.
- Defined Ripple-Current Ratings: Specified ripple current values at both low and high frequencies (2.15 A at 120 Hz and 3.225 A at 50 kHz) support designs that require quantified ripple handling.
- Long Endurance at 85°C: Engineered to meet 3000 hours of endurance under rated conditions, enabling predictable lifecycle planning for thermal-stressed applications.
- Measured Loss and Leakage Parameters: Specified tan δ (0.15 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current values (1020 µA) provide clear electrical characteristics for design verification.
- Production-Ready Packaging: Tray packing and mass production status streamline procurement and assembly for volume manufacturing.
