LNR2C104MSE

The LNR2C104MSE is a screw‑terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LNR series, offering 100000 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating with a ±20% tolerance. It is designed for general‑purpose applications that require large bulk capacitance and high voltage handling in a radial can with screw terminals.

Key value propositions include high ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies, long endurance under rated conditions (5000 hours at 85°C), and a robust mechanical termination suitable for heavy current connections.

Key Features

• High Capacitance: 100000 µF (100 mF) nominal capacitance provides substantial bulk energy storage for smoothing and decoupling in high‑capacity designs.
• 160 V Rated Voltage: 160 V working voltage to support higher DC bus applications where elevated voltage tolerance is required.
• Wide Tolerance Range: ±20% capacitance tolerance (at 120 Hz, 20°C) for predictable performance in bulk filter designs.
• Robust Screw‑Terminal Mounting: Radial can with screw terminals and M8 nominal bolt diameter for the φ100 body provides secure, low‑impedance connections for high current paths.
• High Ripple Current Capability: 24.4 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 29.28 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), enabling handling of significant AC ripple over a broad frequency range.
• Controlled Leakage Current: Rated leakage current up to 5000 µA, consistent with series limits for large electrolytic types.
• Endurance and Reliability: 5000 hours life at 85°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current; after endurance test capacitance change is within ±15% and leakage remains at or below initial specified values.
• Operating Temperature Range: –25°C to 85°C, suited to environments matching the series’ rated temperature window for 160 V devices.
• Packaging & Production: Supplied in cardboard packing and available in mass production status for volume deployments.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Systems: Intended for use where large bulk capacitance and elevated voltage are required in general‑purpose designs.
• High‑Current Bus Filtering: Screw‑terminal construction and high ripple ratings support robust connections on DC bus and filter networks.
• Bulk Energy Storage: Large capacitance and 160 V rating provide substantial energy buffering for applications that need bulk charge storage.

Unique Advantages

• Large Stored Energy per Component: 100000 µF capacitance reduces the number of parallel devices required for a given bulk storage requirement, simplifying BOM and layout.
• High Voltage Capability: 160 V rating enables use on higher DC rails without additional series components.
• High Ripple Handling Across Frequencies: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz support designs that experience a range of ripple frequencies.
• Durability Under Load: 5000 h endurance at 85°C with defined post‑test limits on capacitance, tan δ and leakage ensures predictable aging under rated conditions.
• Secure, Low‑Impedance Connections: Screw‑terminal radial can with an M8 nominal bolt for the φ100 body provides mechanical strength and reliable current path for mounting and cabling.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for regulatory environmental compliance where applicable.
