LNT1C154MSE

The LNT1C154MSE is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LNT series designed for general-purpose power applications. It provides very high bulk capacitance (150000 µF) in a radial can with screw terminals, delivering strong low- and high-frequency ripple handling for DC power systems.

Built for operation from −40°C to 105°C and rated for 16 V DC, this part combines large energy storage, robust ripple-current capability, and a documented 2000-hour life at 105°C for reliable performance in demanding commercial and industrial equipment.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 150000 µF (150 mF) nominal capacitance provides substantial bulk energy storage for smoothing and hold-up in DC power systems.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rating suitable for low-voltage DC bus applications.
• Screw Terminal Mounting — Radial can with screw terminals simplifies secure electrical and mechanical connection for heavy-current paths.
• Ripple Current Performance — Supports 11 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 12.65 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective filtering across a wide frequency range.
• Thermal and Endurance Rating — Operating temperature −40°C to 105°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias.
• Loss and Leakage — Specified tanδ of 0.6 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and a measured leakage current of 4640 µA for predictable dissipation and standby loss characteristics.
• Compact, Serviceable Packaging — Size φ51 × 120 mm (D × L) and supplied in cardboard packing for organized handling and storage; product is in mass production and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Smoothing — Large capacitance and high ripple-current capability make this capacitor well suited to DC supply smoothing and bulk decoupling in industrial and commercial power supplies.
• DC Bus Filtering — Use on low-voltage DC buses where sustained ripple handling and energy storage are required for converters and inverters.
• Energy Hold‑up and Backup — Provides local energy reserve for short-term hold-up during transient events or brief interruptions in low-voltage systems.
• General Purpose Industrial Electronics — Applicable where robust, serviceable screw-terminal connections and long thermal life are needed in control cabinets and power distribution modules.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Bulk Energy — 150000 µF nominal capacitance reduces the number of parallel parts required for large storage needs, simplifying BOM and board layout.
• Wide Ripple-Frequency Coverage — Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz support filtering across low- and high-frequency components of power noise.
• Temperature-Rated Reliability — Designed for continuous operation to 105°C with a manufacturer-rated 2000-hour life at that temperature under rated conditions, enabling predictable lifetime planning.
• Serviceable Screw-Terminal Design — Robust mechanical termination allows secure connections and easier replacement or maintenance in field-serviceable equipment.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for material compliance.
