LLS2V471MELC

The LLS2V471MELC is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal (radial can) package, rated at 470 µF and 350 V. Designed for general-purpose applications, it delivers high-voltage bulk capacitance with documented endurance and electrical characteristics for predictable board-level performance.

Key hardware attributes include a −25 °C to 85 °C operating range, RoHS compliance (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), and a 3000-hour rated endurance under applied DC bias plus rated ripple current at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 350 V and a tolerance of ±20%.
• Snap-in Terminal Package — Radial, can-style snap-in mounting for secure board or chassis installation.
• Ripple-current Endurance — Withstands 3000 hours application of rated ripple current at 85 °C; published ripple-current ratings include 2.55 A at 120 Hz and 3.647 A at 50 kHz.
• Temperature Range & Lifetime — Rated for operation from −25 °C to 85 °C with a lifetime/endurance specification of 3000 hours at 85 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Electrical Reliability Specs — Leakage current defined as I ≤ 3√CV (µA) after 5 minutes at 20 °C; endurance criteria include capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ up to 200% of initial specified value, and leakage current not exceeding initial specified value after endurance testing.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Polarized Design — Polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor for applications requiring polarized components.
• Form Factor — Physical size L: 3 × D: 3.5 cm in a radial can snap-in package.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose — High-voltage bulk capacitance — Where a 470 µF, 350 V polarized snap-in capacitor is specified on the board.
• General Purpose — Sustained ripple environments — For circuits that require components able to withstand rated ripple current for 3000 hours at 85 °C.
• General Purpose — RoHS-compliant designs — Suitable for projects that require compliance with the RoHS directives listed in the product data.

Unique Advantages

• 350 V rating: Enables selection for higher-voltage designs that require 470 µF bulk capacitance at this voltage level.
• Documented ripple-current performance: Published ripple-current values at 120 Hz and 50 kHz aid thermal and reliability planning.
• 3000-hour endurance at 85 °C: Provides a quantified lifetime under DC bias plus rated ripple current for design margining.
• Measured electrical limits: Datasheet-defined leakage current formula and tan δ limits offer verifiable acceptance criteria during qualification.
• Snap-in mechanical mounting: Radial snap-in can provides robust board or chassis retention for high-current and high-voltage installations.
• RoHS-compliant supply: Conforms to 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 restricted-substance requirements.
