LNT1K104MSE

The LNT1K104MSE is a screw-terminal, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LNT series, offering 100,000 µF (100 mF) capacitance at a rated voltage of 80 V. It delivers high bulk energy storage in a radial can with screw terminals, designed for general-purpose applications that require large capacitance and elevated ripple handling.

Key electrical and environmental characteristics include a wide operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C, a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions, and RoHS compliance. Physical packaging is a φ90 × 170 mm can with cardboard packing for shipment.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 100,000 µF (100 mF) with tolerance ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage — 80 V DC rating suitable for higher-voltage general-purpose designs.
• Screw-Terminal Package — Radial can with screw terminals for secure, low-resistance high-current connections; nominal bolt size M5 for φ90 units.
• Ripple Current Capability — 18.6 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 21.39 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting demanding AC ripple environments.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.4 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, 80 V), enabling predictable dissipation behavior.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 5,000 µA after 5 minutes at rated voltage.
• Thermal & Lifetime Rating — Operates from −40°C to +105°C with a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C when subjected to rated ripple and DC bias; endurance criteria include capacitance change within ±20% and tan δ up to 300% of initial specified value after life test.
• Physical Dimensions & Packing — Size φ90 × 170 mm (L: 17 cm × D: 9 cm); shipped in cardboard packing and available in mass production.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and smoothing where 100,000 µF at 80 V is required to stabilize DC rails and absorb ripple currents.
• Industrial Equipment — General-purpose industrial systems operating across −40°C to +105°C that need high-capacitance components with robust ripple handling.
• DC-Link / Energy Storage — High-capacitance screw-terminal packaging suited to DC-link applications or local energy buffering where secure, high-current connections are needed.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial capacitance in a single component — 100,000 µF provides significant bulk storage, reducing the number of discrete capacitors required on a design.
• High ripple-current endurance — Specified LF and HF ripple ratings (18.6 A @120 Hz, 21.39 A @100 kHz) support continuous operation under demanding AC stress.
• Screw-terminal reliability — Radial can with screw terminals enables strong mechanical and electrical connections for high-current assemblies.
• Designed for elevated operating temperature — Rated for operation up to 105°C with a defined 2000‑hour life at that temperature, and specified post-life electrical limits (capacitance, tan δ, leakage).
• Clear electrical characterization — Specified tan δ, leakage current, and tolerance values measured at 20°C/120 Hz provide predictable performance for engineering validation.
• RoHS-compliant supply — Manufactured to meet RoHS requirements for regulatory compatibility.
