LNT1C473MSE

The LNT1C473MSE is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LNT series, engineered for general-purpose power applications. It provides high bulk capacitance in a radial can with screw terminals and is specified for operation from −40°C to +105°C.

Key value comes from its combination of large capacitance (47 mF), screw-terminal reliability for secure power connections, and rated endurance under elevated temperature and ripple conditions, making it suitable for demanding general-purpose power designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance — 47 mF rated capacitance for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power circuits.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V nominal voltage rating suited to low-voltage power rails.
• Screw Terminal Package — Radial can with screw terminals for robust, low-resistance power connections and easy field wiring.
• Operating Temperature — Specified for −40°C to +105°C operation, supporting high-temperature environments.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Lifetime specified as 2,000 hours at +105°C with application of rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple handling of 6.8 A at 120 Hz and 7.82 A at 100 kHz to support high-current filtering.
• Polarity — Polarized capacitor for DC applications.
• Tolerance and Size — ±20% capacitance tolerance; physical dimensions L: 10 × D: 3.5 cm with a seated height up to 3.937 inch.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power supply filtering — Bulk smoothing and energy storage where 47 mF capacitance and strong ripple capability are required.
• High-temperature power environments — Circuits that must operate reliably up to +105°C.
• Screw-terminal power connections — Systems that benefit from secure, serviceable screw-terminal mounting for high-current power paths.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance: 47 mF provides substantial energy storage for smoothing and decoupling in low-voltage power rails.
• Secure screw-terminal interface: Radial can with screw terminals enables reliable mechanical and electrical connections for high-current applications.
• Designed for elevated temperatures: Specified operation to +105°C and a 2,000‑hour lifetime at that temperature under rated ripple current supports demanding thermal environments.
• Strong ripple handling: Rated ripple current of 6.8 A (120 Hz) and 7.82 A (100 kHz) supports designs with significant AC components on DC rails.
• Part of a flexible series: Belongs to the LNT series, which offers an extended rated voltage range (10 V to 500 V) for family-wide design consistency.
• RoHS compliant: Meets EU RoHS requirements for regulatory conformity in many markets.
