LNR1C104MSEN

The LNR1C104MSEN from Nichicon is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 100,000 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a radial can with screw terminals. It is specified for general-purpose applications that require very high bulk capacitance, secure screw-terminal connections and long endurance under elevated temperature conditions.

Designed and produced as part of Nichicon’s LNR series, this component delivers high ripple-current capability, a wide operating temperature range and a 5000-hour endurance rating at 85°C, making it suitable for demanding power-electronics assemblies and other general-purpose power systems.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 100,000 µF (100 mF) nominal capacitance for substantial bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rated voltage suitable for low-voltage power rails.
• Mounting & Package — Screw terminal mounting on a radial can package (φ35 × 120 mm) for secure, low-impedance connections.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 10.6 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 12.19 A at 100 kHz to support substantial AC stress on the capacitor.
• Endurance — 5000 hours at 85°C specified life under rated DC bias plus ripple current, with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current.
• Temperature Range — Operating from −40°C to +85°C to cover a wide range of ambient conditions.
• Electrical Characteristics — Capacitance tolerance −20% to +20%; tan δ (DF) 0.55 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz); measured leakage current 3790 µA.
• Compliance & Packaging — RoHS compliant and supplied in cardboard packing; product is in mass production.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power systems — For designs that require large bulk capacitance and robust screw-terminal connections in general-purpose power applications.
• Power conditioning and smoothing — Where high capacitance and rated ripple current are needed to stabilize low-voltage DC rails.
• Industrial electronics assemblies — For assemblies requiring secure mechanical and electrical terminal connections and long endurance at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial bulk energy storage: 100,000 µF provides a large reservoir for smoothing and transient support in low-voltage systems.
• Robust screw-terminal connections: Screw-terminal radial can package enables secure, low-impedance fastening suitable for assembly-level power connections.
• High ripple handling: Specified ripple currents of 10.6 A (120 Hz) and 12.19 A (100 kHz) accommodate significant AC stress on the capacitor.
• Long specified life: 5000 hours at 85°C under rated conditions delivers defined endurance characteristics for reliable operation over time.
• Wide operating temperature: −40°C to +85°C rating supports deployment across a broad range of ambient conditions.
• RoHS compliant and production-ready: Mass-production status and RoHS compliance simplify procurement and regulatory consideration.
