LNR2A153MSE

The LNR2A153MSE from Nichicon is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LNR series, rated at 15,000 µF and 100 V. It is a polarized, radial can package with screw terminals designed for general-purpose applications that require high capacitance and secure external connections.

This part offers an 85°C category temperature rating, a rated lifetime of 5,000 hours at 85°C, and RoHS compliance, making it suited to equipment requiring durable bulk capacitance and long-term performance in moderate temperature environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 15,000 µF rated capacitance at 100 V provides substantial bulk energy storage for smoothing and decoupling in power circuits.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can with screw terminals (φ51 body) for secure external connections; nominal bolt size M5 for φ51 terminal hardware.
• Electrical Characteristics — Specified tan δ of 0.15 and specified leakage current of 3,670 µA (product data). Capacitance tolerance is ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current: 6 A at 120 Hz and 6.9 A at 100 kHz, enabling handling of AC ripple in power applications.
• Reliability & Lifetime — Endurance rated to 5,000 hours at 85°C; series endurance spec: after this test capacitance change within ±15%, tan δ ≤ 175% of initial specified value, and leakage current ≤ initial specified value.
• Operating Range & Compliance — Operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C and RoHS compliant.
• Mechanical Size — Body diameter φ51 with length 80 mm (φ51×80L); overall package dimensions listed as L: 8 × D: 5.1 cm in product specifications.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Power Modules — High-capacitance, 100 V screw-terminal design for bulk energy storage and smoothing in general-purpose power equipment.
• Industrial Power Supplies — 5,000-hour endurance at 85°C and robust screw terminals support applications where prolonged thermal and electrical stress is expected.
• Energy Buffering — Large 15,000 µF capacitance for use in systems needing substantial charge reservoir capacity at 100 V.
• Enclosures and Panel-Mounted Systems — Radial can with screw terminals and M5 nominal bolts for mechanically secure installation in cabineted or panel-mounted equipment.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance: 15,000 µF at 100 V delivers significant stored energy for smoothing and buffering in power circuits.
• Screw-Terminal Robustness: Radial can with screw terminals and M5 nominal bolt provision (φ51) simplifies secure external wiring and mechanical mounting.
• Long Endurance Rating: 5,000 hours at 85°C with defined post-test limits on capacitance, tan δ, and leakage provides measurable reliability expectations.
• Measured Ripple Capability: Specified ripple current values at both 120 Hz (6 A) and 100 kHz (6.9 A) allow designers to evaluate performance across frequency ranges.
• Clear Electrical Limits: Specified tan δ (0.15) and documented leakage current (3,670 µA) give concrete electrical parameters for thermal and loss budgeting.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS status compliant for designs that require restricted-substance conformance.
