LNT1K224MSEN

The LNT1K224MSEN from Nichicon is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose power applications. It delivers high bulk capacitance in a radial can with screw terminals, suitable for systems that require robust ripple handling and elevated operating temperatures.

This part provides 220 mF capacitance at an 80 V rating, polarized construction, and is specified for operation from −40°C to +105°C. It is RoHS compliant and built on the LNT series platform, which supports extended voltage options across 10 V to 500 V.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 220 mF rated capacitance with an 80 V nominal voltage, tolerance ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Screw Terminal Mounting: Radial can with screw terminals for secure electrical and mechanical connection in high-current applications.
• High Ripple Current: Rated ripple current of 24.8 A at 120 Hz and 28.52 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing and transient absorption under heavy load.
• Temperature & Endurance: Operating range −40°C to +105°C; series endurance supports up to 5,000 hours at +105°C, with a 2,000-hour rating applicable for 10–250 V (including this 80 V part) when subjected to rated ripple current.
• Polarized Electrolytic Design: Polar construction appropriate for DC applications requiring large capacitance.
• Dimensions & Package: Radial, can-style package with screw terminals; part dimensions listed as L: 25 × D: 10 cm.
• Regulatory Compliance: Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supply bulk filtering: High capacitance and rated ripple current make this capacitor suitable for smoothing DC rails and absorbing supply transients in general-purpose power supplies.
• High-current DC systems: Screw-terminal mounting and strong ripple capability support use in systems where secure high-current connections and reliable energy buffering are required.
• Industrial power electronics: Operation to +105°C and extended voltage-range series support makes this part applicable to industrial converters and power modules that operate at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Large bulk energy storage: 220 mF capacitance provides substantial charge storage for smoothing and transient hold-up in DC circuits.
• Robust ripple handling: High rated ripple currents at both low and high frequency reduce temperature rise and improve reliability under continuous AC ripple stress.
• Secure mechanical connection: Screw-terminal format simplifies installation and provides reliable clamping for high-current or serviceable assemblies.
• Wide series voltage coverage: LNT series covers 10 V to 500 V, enabling consistent design choices across multiple system voltage rails.
• High-temperature endurance: Rated for operation to +105°C with defined endurance performance (series-level up to 5,000 hours; 2,000 hours applicable for this voltage range), supporting designs that must tolerate sustained elevated temperature environments.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance supports use in regions and products that require restricted-substance conformity.
