LNK2G272MSEG

The LNK2G272MSEG from Nichicon is a screw‑terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LNK series, designed for smaller‑sized, general‑purpose power applications. It combines a 2.7 mF (2700 µF) capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage in a radial can with screw terminals to provide high ripple handling in compact installations.

Key value points include high ripple current capability, robust endurance under elevated temperature (5000 hours at 85°C), and RoHS compliance—making it suitable for systems that require durable DC energy storage, filtering, or smoothing in a secure screw‑terminal package.

Key Features

• Electrical Capacity — 2.7 mF (2700 µF) capacitance with a ±20% tolerance at 20°C (120 Hz), rated for 400 V operation.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 10.8 A at 120 Hz and 15.12 A at 10 kHz, supporting demanding AC ripple environments.
• Endurance and Reliability — Load life specified at 5000 hours at 85°C when subjected to DC bias plus rated ripple current; capacitance change remains within ±20% after the endurance test per series specification.
• Temperature Range — Operational from −25°C to +85°C to cover a wide range of general‑purpose environments.
• Screw Terminal Mounting — Radial can with screw terminals for secure mechanical and electrical connections in power assemblies.
• Leakage and Insulation Characteristics — Leakage current after 5 minutes is limited to 3√CV μA or 5 mA (whichever is smaller), and insulation resistance is >100 MΩ at DC 500 V between terminal and bracket (series specification).
• RoHS Compliance — Constructed in accordance with RoHS directives.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and ripple reduction in power supplies where a 400 V, 2700 µF capacitor with high ripple current is required.
• DC link and energy storage — Short‑term energy buffering and decoupling in power conversion stages that benefit from screw‑terminal mounting for secure connections.
• Industrial and commercial power equipment — Use in systems that demand long endurance at elevated temperatures (specified 5000 hours at 85°C) and robust ripple handling.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability: Explicit ripple ratings (10.8 A at 120 Hz; 15.12 A at 10 kHz) allow designers to size the capacitor confidently for AC ripple environments.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 5000‑hour load life at 85°C under rated ripple current supports reliability in continuous‑duty applications.
• Secure screw‑terminal interface: Radial can with screw terminals provides a rugged, low‑resistance electrical connection suitable for high‑current installations.
• Series proven characteristics: Series specifications include controlled leakage (3√CV μA or 5 mA limit) and insulation resistance >100 MΩ at 500 V, supporting predictable performance and testability.
• Compact form in a smaller series footprint: Smaller‑sized LNK series packaging helps reduce board and system space while delivering high capacitance and ripple performance.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance supports use in regions and designs requiring restricted substance adherence.

Why Choose LNK2G272MSEG?
