LNR2C153MSE

The LNR2C153MSE is a Nichicon LNR series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a screw‑terminal radial can package. It delivers 15,000 µF of capacitance at a 160 V rating with polarized construction and is offered for general purpose applications.

Designed for applications that require high capacitance, significant ripple handling and long endurance at elevated operating temperatures, the LNR2C153MSE combines a high 160 V rating with 12 A (120 Hz) / 14.4 A (100 kHz) ripple current capability and a 5,000‑hour endurance at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 15,000 µF rated capacitance at 160 V provides bulk energy storage for general purpose designs.
• Ripple Current Handling — 12 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 14.4 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) to support significant AC ripple on DC rails.
• Loss Tangent — tanδ = 0.2 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz) to characterize AC loss for power applications.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 4,640 µA for predictable bias behavior after application of rated voltage.
• Endurance & Temperature — 5,000 hours life at 85 °C with specified capacitance, tanδ and leakage current limits after endurance testing; operating temperature range −25 °C to 85 °C.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Screw terminal radial can package (φ76.2 × 100 mm length) with M5 terminal hardware for secure electrical and mechanical connections.
• Tolerance & Polarity — ±20% capacitance tolerance; polarized device.
• Compliance & Packaging — RoHS compliant and supplied in cardboard packing; mass production status.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power systems — Bulk capacitance and high voltage rating make it suitable for general purpose equipment designs that require substantial energy storage and smoothing.
• Power rail filtering — High ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies supports filtering and decoupling on DC power rails.
• Industrial and equipment assemblies — Rugged screw‑terminal mounting and long endurance at 85 °C suit enduring installations in various equipment where reliable bulk capacitance is needed.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance at high voltage: 15,000 µF at 160 V provides substantial energy reserve for designs needing large capacitance in a single component.
• Robust ripple capability: 12 A (120 Hz) and 14.4 A (100 kHz) ripple specifications minimize temperature rise and support sustained AC loading.
• Proven endurance: 5,000‑hour rated life at 85 °C offers predictable long‑term performance under rated stress conditions.
• Screw‑terminal reliability: Radial can with screw terminals and M5 hardware enables secure electrical connections and straightforward installation.
• Clear electrical characteristics: Defined tanδ, leakage current and tolerance figures enable accurate design margining and system modeling.
• Production readiness: RoHS compliant, mass production status and cardboard packing support volume procurement and assembly workflows.
