LNR2C153MSEN

The LNR2C153MSEN is a screw‑terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LNR series, providing 15,000 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating. It is a polarized, radial can package designed for general-purpose use where high capacitance, substantial ripple handling and long endurance are required.

This module combines a compact φ76.2 × 100 mm can with high ripple current capability and a 5,000‑hour endurance at 85°C, making it suitable for equipment and designs that require sustained performance under elevated operating temperatures.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 15,000 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High Ripple Current — Low‑frequency ripple current 12.0 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 14.4 A (100 kHz), for demanding AC ripple environments.
• Endurance — Life specification of 5,000 hours at 85°C with defined limits: capacitance change within ±15%, tan δ ≤ 175% of initial, and leakage current ≤ initial specified value after endurance test.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Specified leakage current of 4,640 µA and dissipation factor (tan δ) = 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Operating Temperature — Rated for −25°C to +85°C (category temperature range for 160 V products), suitable for elevated temperature operation up to 85°C.
• Mounting & Package — Screw terminal radial can (φ76.2 × 100 mm), M5 terminal pitch and supplied in cardboard packing for handling and storage.
• Compliance — RoHS‑compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose — Designed for applications requiring a high‑capacitance, 160 V polarized capacitor with screw‑terminal mounting.
• High Ripple Environments — Suited to systems that need sustained ripple handling given the 12 A (120 Hz) and 14.4 A (100 kHz) ripple current ratings.
• Elevated‑Temperature Service — Appropriate where a 5,000‑hour endurance at 85°C is required to meet equipment life targets.

Unique Advantages

• Large Bulk Capacitance at High Voltage: 15,000 µF at 160 V provides significant energy storage capability in a single component, reducing part count for high‑capacitance needs.
• Robust Ripple Performance: Defined low‑ and high‑frequency ripple ratings (12.0 A at 120 Hz, 14.4 A at 100 kHz) help ensure stable operation in AC‑stressed circuits.
• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 5,000 hours at 85°C with defined post‑test limits on capacitance, tan δ and leakage current supports predictable lifetime planning.
• Serviceable Screw‑Terminal Mounting: M5 screw terminals on a radial can simplify installation and replacement in power assemblies and modules.
• Clear Electrical Characterization: Specified tan δ, leakage current and tolerance at 20°C, 120 Hz enable reliable design margin calculations.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS requirements for environmentally restricted substances.
