LNR2C472MSE

The LNR2C472MSE from Nichicon is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LNR series, designed for general-purpose power electronics applications. It provides 4700 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a radial can with screw terminals, delivering high ripple-current capability and long endurance for industrial and power-supply designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 4700 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 160 V and capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• High Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current 5.0 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 6.0 A at 100 kHz, supporting demanding filtering and smoothing duties.
• Dielectric Loss (tan δ) — tan δ (DF) = 0.15, measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, for predictable dissipation characteristics in AC environments.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2600 µA, stated after application of rated voltage and measured per product conditions.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated life of 5000 hours at 85°C with operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C, providing long-term stability under elevated temperatures.
• Mechanical & Mounting — φ51 × 80 mm can (L: 8 × D: 5.1 cm) with screw terminal mounting and radial can package, supplied in cardboard packing for mass-production availability.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and output smoothing on 160 V rails where high capacitance and high ripple current handling are required.
• Inverters and Motor Drives — DC-link and smoothing applications benefiting from 4700 µF capacitance and 5–6 A ripple capability at relevant frequencies.
• Industrial Power Electronics — General-purpose filtering and energy buffer roles in industrial equipment operating within -25°C to 85°C.

Unique Advantages

• High Energy Density at 160 V — 4700 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating enables compact bulk storage for medium-voltage power rails.
• Robust Ripple Handling — Separate low- and high-frequency ripple current specifications (5.0 A at 120 Hz, 6.0 A at 100 kHz) let designers account for both mains-frequency and switching-frequency stress.
• Measured Dissipation Data — Provided tan δ value (0.15 at 20°C, 120 Hz) supports thermal and loss budgeting in system-level design.
• Long Endurance — 5000-hour rated life at 85°C supports sustained operation in elevated-temperature environments common to power electronics.
• Screw-Terminal Convenience — Radial can with screw terminals simplifies heavy-current connections and serviceability in assembled systems.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliance supports use in regulated product lines.
