LNC2H152MSEGBN

The LNC2H152MSEGBN is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the Nichicon LNC series, designed as a screw-terminal radial can for industrial power electronics. It delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 500 V rating and is optimized for high ripple current and high-frequency regenerative voltage environments.

Engineered for inverter circuitry and AC servomotor applications, this capacitor combines a smaller physical footprint (L: 8 × D: 6.35 cm) with a load life specified at 5000 hours when subjected to ripple current at 85°C, enabling reliable performance in demanding industrial systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF rated capacitance at 500 V, with capacitance tolerance of ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High ripple current — Rated ripple current: 11.6 A at 120 Hz and 16.24 A at 100 kHz, making it effective for heavy AC ripple and high-frequency loading.
• Temperature range & endurance — Operating temperature from −40°C to +85°C with a load life of 5000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple conditions.
• Package & mounting — Radial can with screw terminals for secure mechanical and electrical connections; polarized design for DC link applications.
• Robust electrical characteristics — Insulation resistance greater than 100 MΩ at DC 500 V between terminal and bracket; voltage proof AC 2500 V for 1 minute between terminal and bracket; leakage current limited per datasheet formula.
• Charge–discharge endurance — Specified endurance for high-speed charge–discharge behavior, with test conditions of 50 million cycles (ΔV = rated voltage × 0.3, 3 Hz) documented in the datasheet.
• Regulatory compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Industrial power supplies (inverters) — Used as DC-link and smoothing capacitors in inverter power stages where sustained ripple handling and lifetime at elevated temperature are required.
• AC servo drives and motor control — Handles high-frequency regenerative voltage and rapid charge–discharge cycles found in servo amplifiers and motor controllers.
• Regenerative and energy-return systems — Suitable for circuits that experience frequent high-speed charge–discharge events and require stable capacitance over long service periods.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability: Specified ripple currents of 11.6 A (120 Hz) and 16.24 A (100 kHz) support heavy AC and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Compact form for the class: Identified as smaller-sized while providing higher ripple current compared to related LNC series variants, helping reduce enclosure space for power modules.
• Long, specified operational life: 5000 hours at 85°C under rated ripple conditions gives designers a clear endurance baseline for system reliability planning.
• Proven electrical robustness: High insulation resistance and AC voltage proof tests between terminal and bracket provide measurable isolation and safety margins.
• Designed for high-frequency regenerative use: Datasheet calls out suitability for high-frequency regenerative voltage in AC servomotor and inverter applications, aligning the component to those system requirements.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports inclusion in regulated assemblies.
