LNR2C103MSE

The LNR2C103MSE is a Nichicon LNR-series screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 10,000 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a radial can with screw terminals. Designed for general-purpose power electronics, this module provides high bulk capacitance and secure screw-terminal connections for systems that require high ripple-handling and durable performance.

Key value comes from its combination of high capacitance, robust ripple-current capability at both low and high frequencies, and documented endurance (5,000 hours at 85°C), making it suitable for repeated use in industrial and power-system environments that operate within −25°C to 85°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 10,000 µF (10 mF) nominal capacitance rated at 160 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Screw-Terminal, Radial Can Package — Secure screw-terminal mounting and radial can package designed for robust electrical and mechanical connections; body size φ63.5 × 100 mm.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple handling of 9.10 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple handling of 10.92 A at 100 kHz to support DC-link and filtering duties under varying frequencies.
• Low Dissipation Factor — Specified tan δ of 0.2 (DF) measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, supporting predictable ESR-related behavior in power circuits.
• Leakage Current — Measured leakage current of 3790 µA after rated-voltage application, useful for margining in power-budget calculations.
• Endurance — Rated for 5,000 hours at 85°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, meeting the LNR series endurance specification when restored to 20°C.
• Operating Range & Compliance — Operating temperature −25°C to 85°C and RoHS-compliant; shipped in cardboard packing and available in mass production.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Power Systems — Suited for systems that require large bulk capacitance at 160 V for smoothing and energy storage in general-purpose power electronics.
• High-Ripple DC Links — Applied where sustained ripple currents are present; rated for 9.10 A @120 Hz and 10.92 A @100 kHz with endurance specified at 85°C.
• Chassis and Rack Installations — Screw-terminal radial can and φ63.5×100 mm body size simplify secure mounting and electrical termination in cabineted equipment.
• Industrial Equipment (General Purpose) — For industrial designs operating within −25°C to 85°C that need documented lifecycle performance and RoHS compliance.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance at Elevated Voltage: 10,000 µF at 160 V provides substantial energy storage in a single component, simplifying system-level capacitance requirements.
• Robust Screw-Terminal Connections: Screw terminals deliver mechanically secure, low-resistance terminations suitable for repeated assembly and maintenance.
• Dual-Frequency Ripple Capability: Specified ripple current values at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz support designs that experience a range of ripple frequencies.
• Documented Endurance: 5,000-hour life at 85°C under rated conditions provides a clear expectancy for long-term deployed performance.
• Predictable Dissipation and Leakage: Specified tan δ (0.2 at 20°C/120 Hz) and measured leakage current (3,790 µA) enable reliable thermal and power-loss budgeting.
• Regulatory and Production Readiness: RoHS-compliant and offered in mass production quantities with cardboard packing for standard handling and logistics.
