LNT2A153MSE

The LNT2A153MSE is a screw‑terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LNT series designed for general‑purpose power applications. It is a radial can with screw terminals, providing a robust connection method for high‑current and high‑reliability circuits.

With a rated voltage of 100 V, large capacitance of 15,000 µF and an operating range from −40°C to +105°C, this device targets power supply smoothing, bulk energy storage and industrial power electronics where high ripple capability and endurance at elevated temperature are required.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 15,000 µF: Provides substantial bulk energy storage for smoothing and decoupling in power systems with a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• 100 V Rated Voltage: Rated for 100 V DC operation to support mid‑voltage power rails and DC link requirements.
• Screw Terminal Mounting: Radial can with screw terminals enables secure, low‑impedance external connections suitable for high current paths.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Low‑frequency ripple current 7.8 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 8.97 A at 100 kHz, supporting demanding AC ripple environments.
• Loss Characteristic — tanδ 0.2: Dissipation factor specified as 0.2 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, 100 V), useful for assessing AC heating and ESR‑related losses.
• Wide Temperature Range and Endurance: Rated for −40°C to +105°C with a life/endurance specification of 2,000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 3,670 µA, important for standby and charge retention calculations.
• Form Factor: Physical size φ63.5 × 100 mm (L: 10 cm × D: 6.35 cm) for compact high‑capacitance installations.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant; product is in mass production.

Typical Applications

• Power supply bulk filtering: Large capacitance and high ripple current capability make this capacitor suitable for smoothing DC rails and reducing voltage ripple.
• DC link and energy storage: Suitable for mid‑voltage DC link and intermediate energy storage in industrial power electronics where secure screw‑terminal connections are needed.
• Industrial power systems: Designed for general‑purpose industrial applications requiring durable performance across −40°C to +105°C and extended endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Robust screw‑terminal construction: Facilitates low‑resistance, mechanically secure connections for high‑current wiring and repeated service operations.
• Substantial energy density: 15,000 µF in a φ63.5 × 100 mm can offers significant bulk capacitance while keeping a compact footprint for chassis‑mounted power assemblies.
• Broad ripple handling: Specified LF and HF ripple currents (7.8 A @120 Hz, 8.97 A @100 kHz) enable use across a range of switching and line‑frequency environments.
• Designed for elevated temperatures: Endurance rating of 2,000 hours at 105°C ensures predictable performance in high‑temperature applications when rated ripple is applied.
• Measured dissipation factor: tanδ = 0.2 (20°C, 120 Hz, 100 V) provides a quantifiable metric for evaluating dielectric loss and heating in your design.
• Production readiness: RoHS compliant and in mass production for reliable supply and integration into production designs.
