Overview of LNT1C684MSEN – Screw Terminal Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 680000 µF, 16 V
The LNT1C684MSEN is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LNT series, delivering 680,000 µF (680 mF) at a rated voltage of 16 V. Designed for general-purpose use, this part combines very large capacitance with high ripple-current capability and a screw-terminal can-style package for secure, low-impedance connections.
Key value propositions include high bulk energy storage, high ripple-current handling (measured at both low and high frequencies), a wide operating temperature range from −40°C to +105°C, and a rated endurance of 2,000 hours at 105°C.
Key Features
- Very Large Capacitance — 680,000 µF (680 mF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance for substantial bulk energy storage and smoothing.
- Rated Voltage — 16 V nominal rated voltage suited to low-voltage power systems.
- High Ripple-Current Capacity — Low-frequency ripple current 24 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 27.6 A (100 kHz) to support demanding AC ripple environments.
- Screw Terminal Package — Radial can with screw terminals for robust electrical and mechanical connections in heavier-current applications.
- Thermal and Endurance Specs — Operating temperature −40°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 2,000 hours at 105°C (per part data).
- Loss and Leakage Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified as 2 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current listed at 5,000 µA.
- Packaging and Availability — Supplied in cardboard packing and currently in mass production.
- RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements as indicated in product information.
Typical Applications
- General purpose — For systems requiring very large bulk capacitance with screw-terminal mounting for secure, high-current connections.
- High-ripple environments — Where sustained ripple handling is required: specified at 24 A (120 Hz) and 27.6 A (100 kHz).
- Elevated-temperature operation — Applications operating within −40°C to +105°C that require a capacitor rated for 2,000 hours at 105°C.
Unique Advantages
- Massive bulk capacitance: 680,000 µF provides substantial energy storage and smoothing in low-voltage power designs.
- High ripple capability: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies reduce heating and extend operational stability under ripple stress.
- Screw-terminal reliability: Robust radial can with screw terminals enables secure, low-impedance connections for high-current paths.
- Thermal endurance: Rated for −40°C to +105°C with a specified 2,000-hour life at 105°C to support extended duty in elevated-temperature environments.
- Measured electrical characteristics: Specified tan δ and leakage current values (tan δ = 2 at 20°C/120 Hz; leakage = 5,000 µA) allow for predictable design margins.
- Production-ready supply: Cardboard-packed and in mass production for straightforward procurement and BOM planning.
