LNT1C474MSEN

The LNT1C474MSEN is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LNT series, providing 470,000 µF (470 mF) capacitance at a 16 V rating. It is a radial, can-style, screw-terminal device intended for general-purpose applications that require high bulk capacitance, high ripple handling, and secure terminal connections.

Designed for operation from −40 °C to +105 °C with a rated life of 2,000 hours at 105 °C (for the 10 to 250 V range), this component delivers stable electrical performance where elevated temperature endurance and large energy storage are needed.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 470,000 µF (470 mF) provides substantial bulk energy storage for power system smoothing and decoupling in demanding circuits.
• Voltage Rating — Rated at 16 V to suit low-voltage power rails and storage applications.
• Screw-Terminal Package — Radial can with screw terminals (φ90 × 140 mm) enables robust, low-impedance connections for high-current applications.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 22.1 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 25.41 A at 100 kHz to support circuits with significant AC content.
• Electrical Characteristics — Capacitance tolerance −20% to +20% and a tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 2 under measurement conditions of 20 °C, 120 Hz.
• Leakage and Endurance — Specified leakage current of 5,000 µA and an endurance rating of 2,000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple and DC bias for this voltage range.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Rated for −40 °C to +105 °C, supporting elevated-temperature use cases.
• RoHS Compliant & Production Ready — RoHS status compliant and listed as mass production with cardboard packing for shipment.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Equipment — Provides large bulk capacitance where space for a high-value capacitor and screw-terminal mounting are required.
• High-Ripple Power Circuits — Suitable where substantial low-frequency (22.1 A at 120 Hz) or high-frequency (25.41 A at 100 kHz) ripple current handling is needed.
• Elevated-Temperature Environments — For designs requiring operation up to +105 °C with rated life performance (2,000 hours at 105 °C for this voltage range).

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Bulk Energy Storage: 470,000 µF capacitance reduces reliance on multiple smaller capacitors and simplifies board-level energy storage design.
• Robust Screw-Terminal Connectivity: M5 screw-terminal interface on the φ90 can ensures secure mechanical and electrical connections for high-current applications.
• High Ripple Endurance: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies help maintain capacitor temperature and reliability under AC stress.
• Temperature and Life Performance: Specified for −40 °C to +105 °C with a 2,000-hour endurance at 105 °C (for the 10–250 V range), enabling predictable long-term behavior in hot environments.
• Production and Environmental Readiness: RoHS compliance and mass-production status facilitate procurement and regulatory alignment for volume designs.
