LNR1H153MSE

The LNR1H153MSE is a screw‑terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LNR series, offering 15,000 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating in a robust can-style, radial package. Engineered for general-purpose electronic equipment, it provides substantial bulk capacitance with high ripple-current capability and long-term endurance for sustained operation up to 85°C.

Key value propositions include high capacitance for energy storage, screw‑terminal mounting for secure electrical connection, and a 5,000‑hour endurance rating at 85°C—attributes that support reliable performance in demanding power applications.

Key Features

• High Capacitance: 15,000 µF (15 mF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, delivering substantial bulk energy storage in a single component.
• Rated Voltage: 50 V rated voltage suitable for medium‑voltage power systems and supplies that require durable bulk capacitors.
• Screw Terminal Mounting: Radial can with screw terminals provides a secure, low‑impedance connection for high‑current applications and simplifies installation where robust terminations are required.
• Ripple Current Handling: 5.40 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 6.21 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective smoothing under significant AC ripple conditions.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics: Specified leakage current of 2,590 µA and tan δ of 0.25 (measurement conditions per series datasheet), allowing predictable loss and DC leakage behavior for design calculations.
• Thermal and Lifetime Ratings: Operating temperature range –40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 5,000 hours at 85°C; series endurance data indicates capacitance change and tan δ limits after life test.
• Package and Handling: Body diameter φ35 mm with overall length ~80 mm in a radial can; supplied in cardboard packing and available in mass production quantities.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power systems — Provides substantial bulk capacitance and ripple current capacity for general-purpose equipment requiring stable DC supply reservoirs.
• Power supply smoothing — Screw‑terminal mounting and high capacitance support robust connections and effective smoothing in power supply designs.
• Industrial and commercial assemblies — Suitable where long endurance at elevated temperature (5,000 h at 85°C) and reliable terminal retention are required.

Unique Advantages

• Large single‑component capacitance: 15,000 µF reduces the need for multiple parallel capacitors, simplifying BOM and board layout.
• Screw‑terminal robustness: Secure mechanical and electrical termination for high‑current connections and frequent serviceability.
• Measured ripple performance: Specified ripple current values at both low and high frequencies allow designers to size the capacitor confidently against expected ripple loads.
• Predictable leakage and loss: Explicit leakage current and tan δ specifications allow accurate thermal and leakage budgeting in system design.
• Documented endurance: 5,000 hours at 85°C with defined post‑test limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage supports lifecycle planning and reliability assessments.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction for deployment in regions requiring restricted substance conformity.
