LNT1C104MSEN

The LNT1C104MSEN from Nichicon is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LNT series, delivering 100000 µF (100 mF) at a rated voltage of 16 V. Engineered for general-purpose power electronics, it provides high bulk capacitance and robust screw-terminal connections for systems that require reliable energy storage and high ripple handling.

Key value propositions include high capacitance density, high allowable ripple current, operation across −40°C to +105°C, and a 2000‑hour endurance rating at 105°C—making it suitable for industrial power supplies and other demanding general-purpose applications.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 100000 µF (100 mF) bulk capacitance for energy storage and smoothing in power systems.
• Rated Voltage & Tolerance — 16 V rated voltage with ±20% capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Screw Terminal Mounting — Robust radial can with screw terminals for secure, high-current connections in cabinet and chassis builds.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 9.6 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 11.04 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) for effective AC ripple handling in converters and power rails.
• Endurance & Temperature — 2000 h life at 105°C and operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C for sustained elevated-temperature performance.
• Electrical Losses & Leakage — tan δ (DF) = 0.6 max at 20°C and 120 Hz; leakage current specified at 3790 µA.
• Package & Size — φ51 × 100L can (radial, screw terminals); overall dimension L: 10 × D: 5.1 cm; Height seated max 3.937 inch.
• Regulatory & Availability — RoHS compliant and in mass production.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage where high capacitance and sustained ripple handling at elevated temperatures are required.
• UPS and Backup Systems — Bulk energy buffering for short-term hold-up and ride-through in backup power circuits.
• Power Conversion and Inverters — DC link and filtering duties in converters where screw-terminal mounting simplifies high-current connections and serviceability.

Unique Advantages

• Large bulk capacitance: 100000 µF provides substantial energy storage to stabilize DC rails and reduce voltage sag under load.
