LNR2C222MSEN

The LNR2C222MSEN from Nichicon is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LNR series, offering 2,200 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating. Designed for general-purpose power applications, it provides bulk energy storage and ripple-handling capability in medium-voltage assemblies.

Key value comes from a combination of high-voltage capability, elevated ripple-current ratings at both low and high frequencies, and a 5,000-hour endurance at 85°C for reliable operation in sustained thermal environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 2,200 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), suitable for bulk filtering and energy storage.
• Rated Voltage — 160 V DC rated voltage for higher-voltage power rails and DC-link applications.
• Low‑ and High‑Frequency Ripple Handling — Low-frequency ripple current 3.20 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 3.84 A (100 kHz), supporting both mains-frequency smoothing and high-frequency switching environments.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.15 (20°C, 120 Hz), enabling predictable AC loss behavior in design calculations.
• Leakage Current — Typical leakage current value 1,770 µA after 5 minutes at rated voltage, useful for system standby and bias design.
• Endurance — 5,000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage and ripple conditions, with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ increase, and leakage current.
• Operating Temperature — Specified range from −25°C to +85°C for reliable performance across common industrial ambient temperatures for the 160 V variant.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial can with screw terminals (φ35 × 80 mm body), providing secure, high-current connections and straightforward installation.
• Compliance & Packaging — RoHS-compliant and supplied in cardboard packing; part is in mass production.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling on 160 V rails where 2,200 µF capacitance and controlled leakage are required.
• DC bus and energy hold-up — Energy storage and voltage stabilization for systems that require sustained capacitance and rated ripple current handling.
• Power supply assemblies — Filtering and ripple suppression in industrial and commercial power supplies using screw-terminal mounting for robust connections.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 160 V rating enables use in higher-voltage DC applications without stepping up component count.
• Broad ripple-frequency performance: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz support designs that must handle mains-frequency ripple and high-frequency switching noise.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 5,000-hour life at 85°C provides predictable long-term behavior under continuous load and heat stress.
• Screw-terminal construction: Robust mechanical and electrical connection for assemblies requiring secure, low-impedance terminations.
• Measurable loss and leakage specs: Specified tan δ and leakage current values simplify thermal and standby loss calculations during system design.
• RoHS compliant and production-ready: Mass-production availability and RoHS compliance support procurement and regulatory requirements.
