LNC2G153MTEJ

The LNC2G153MTEJ is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the Nichicon LNC series, providing 15,000 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating. Its stud/bolt mount screw-terminal can configuration is optimized for industrial power-electronics applications that demand high ripple handling and robust endurance.

Designed for general-purpose power systems, the part targets inverter circuitry, industrial power supplies and high-frequency regenerative circuits where durability, high ripple current capability and compact radial can packaging are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 15,000 µF (15 mF) rated at 400 V, tolerance −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Screw-terminal / Mount — Stud bolt mount with radial, can-style body and screw terminals for secure electrical and mechanical connections; packaged in cardboard packing.
• High ripple current — Designed for heavy ripple loading: 42.9 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 60.06 A at 100 kHz (high frequency).
• Thermal and lifecycle specification — Operating range −40°C to +85°C with rated life of 5000 hours at 85°C under applied ripple conditions.
• Low-loss characteristics — tanδ = 0.2 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) to support lower dissipation in AC conditions.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 5,000 µA after standard voltage application.
• Compact form factor — Body dimension φ90 × 185L (L: 18.5 cm × D: 9 cm) providing a smaller physical footprint while maintaining high ripple capability.
• Robust charge–discharge endurance — Series-level qualification for high-speed charge–discharge loading and endurance to repetitive cycles as described in the LNC datasheet.
• RoHS compliance — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Industrial power supplies / inverter circuitry — Bulk smoothing and DC link support for inverter stages where sustained ripple currents and voltage stability are required.
• AC servomotor drives — Handling high-frequency regenerative voltage and fast charge–discharge cycles in motor drive systems.
• High-frequency regenerative circuits — Energy buffering and filtering in systems that require high ripple tolerance at both low and high frequencies.
• General-purpose power electronics — Use where a robust, polarized electrolytic capacitor with screw-terminal mounting and long life at elevated temperature is needed.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-handling capability: Rated ripple currents of 42.9 A (120 Hz) and 60.06 A (100 kHz) reduce the need for parallel capacitors and help manage thermal stress in power stages.
• Long life at operating temperature: 5000 hours endurance at 85°C provides predictable aging characteristics for industrial deployments.
• Secure screw-terminal mounting: Stud/bolt mount and screw terminals offer reliable electrical contact and mechanical stability in high-vibration or high-current environments.
• Low dissipation and controlled leakage: tanδ of 0.2 (20°C, 120 Hz) and specified leakage current support efficient energy storage with manageable self-heating.
• Compact radial can footprint: φ90 × 185L size delivers a smaller package while preserving high ripple and capacitance, suitable for space-conscious power designs.
• Series-level robustness: Engineered for high-speed charge–discharge loading and validated endurance behaviors as detailed in the LNC series specifications.
