LNT1E154MSEN

The LNT1E154MSEN from Nichicon is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor delivering 150,000 µF (150 mF) capacitance at a 25 V rating in a radial can package. Designed for general-purpose power applications, it provides high bulk capacitance, polarization for DC systems, and secure screw-terminal mounting for reliable electrical connections.

Built to operate across a wide temperature range and to withstand sustained ripple and DC bias, this capacitor is suitable for designs that require energy hold-up, smoothing, or bulk filtering in industrial and power-electronics environments.

Key Features

• High Capacitance: 150,000 µF (150 mF) rated capacitance for substantial bulk energy storage and smoothing in DC power systems.
• 25 V Rated Voltage: Rated for 25 V operation suitable for low-voltage power rails and DC bus applications.
• Screw Terminal Mounting & Radial Can Package: Screw terminals provide secure, low-resistance connections; package listed as radial, can - screw terminals with a φ63.5 × 120L size for robust mechanical retention.
• Ripple Current Capability: High ripple tolerance with 13.8 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 15.87 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) to support applications with significant AC ripple on DC rails.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Rated life of 2000 hours at +105°C with rated ripple current applied, matching LNT series endurance criteria for 10–250 V parts.
• Temperature Range: Operates from −40°C to +105°C to cover a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Capacitance Tolerance and Loss Measurement: Capacitance tolerance is −20% to +20% (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz); tan δ (DF) measurement condition is 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 5000 µA (measured after rated voltage application per product specification).
• RoHS Compliant and Production Ready: RoHS compliant and listed as mass production with cardboard packing for shipment.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering: Bulk smoothing and decoupling where high capacitance and screw-terminal connections are required.
• Power conversion modules: Energy storage and ripple handling in DC/DC converters and power supplies that operate within the capacitor’s voltage and temperature ratings.
• Industrial power systems: Hold-up and smoothing in rack-mounted or cabineted power systems using secure screw-terminal mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial energy storage: 150,000 µF provides significant bulk capacitance to extend hold-up time and reduce voltage ripple under load.
• Screw-terminal robustness: M5 screw-terminal style (as used in the LNT series for φ63.5 devices) offers reliable, low-resistance connections for higher-current applications.
• Designed for elevated-temperature endurance: 2000-hour life at +105°C under rated ripple current ensures predictable performance in demanding thermal environments.
• Wide operating temperature: −40°C to +105°C supports deployment across a broad range of ambient conditions.
• Measurable loss and tolerance specs: Tan δ and ±20% capacitance tolerance given at 20°C/120 Hz enable predictable AC loss and sizing during design.
• High ripple current rating: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow selection for both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.

Why Choose LNT1E154MSEN?

The LNT1E154MSEN positions itself as a robust, high-capacitance solution for designers needing secure screw-terminal mounting, substantial bulk energy storage, and endurance at elevated temperatures.
