LLS2Z471MELY

The LLS2Z471MELY is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap-in terminal radial can designed for general-purpose power applications. It combines a 470 µF capacitance with a 180 V rated voltage in a compact snap-in package.

Engineered for reliable ripple endurance, this 85°C‑rated device withstands 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 85°C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for designs that require stable bulk capacitance and long-term performance under continuous ripple stress.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 180 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Snap-in Radial Can — Snap-in terminal mounting for secure board retention and ease of installation in chassis or PCB assemblies.
• Ripple Endurance — Withstands 3000 hours of application of rated ripple current at 85°C, supporting continuous operation under ripple stress.
• Ripple Current Ratings — Rated ripple current of 1.91 A at 120 Hz and 2.865 A at 50 kHz for frequency-dependent ripple handling.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −40°C to +85°C operation across its rated voltage range.
• Reliability & Endurance Specifications — Endurance criteria: capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ ≤ 200% of initial spec, and leakage current not greater than the initial specified value after endurance testing.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current defined by I ≤ 3√(C·V) (µA) after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C, providing a predictable leakage baseline for design calculations.
• RoHS Compliance — Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Physical Identification — Marked with white lettering on a black sleeve for clear identification.

Typical Applications

• Power supply smoothing — Bulk capacitance (470 µF) and 180 V rating combined with rated ripple current (1.91 A @120 Hz) support smoothing and decoupling in general-purpose power supplies.
• High-voltage DC bus filtering — 180 V voltage rating and 3000‑hour ripple endurance at 85°C make this capacitor suitable for DC bus and bulk filtering in industrial power electronics.
• Chassis-mounted or PCB-mounted assemblies — Snap-in radial can package and compact dimensions (L: 3.5 × D: 2 cm) enable secure mechanical mounting in rack or enclosure applications.

Unique Advantages

• Proven ripple endurance: Rated to endure 3000 hours under rated ripple current at 85°C, delivering predictable long-term performance under continuous ripple stress.
• Frequency-aware ripple handling: Specified ripple current values at both 120 Hz (1.91 A) and 50 kHz (2.865 A) help designers size capacitors for the intended ripple spectrum.
• Design-friendly mounting: Snap-in terminal and radial can packaging simplify installation and provide reliable board or chassis retention for general-purpose designs.
• Wide operating range: −40°C to +85°C operating range supports deployment across a broad set of ambient conditions within its voltage class.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Leakage current bounded by I ≤ 3√(C·V) after initial application of rated voltage offers a calculable leakage baseline for system power budgets.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to applicable RoHS directives for environmental and regulatory alignment.
