LNT2A223MSEN

The LNT2A223MSEN is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LNT series. It delivers 22,000 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating in a radial can with screw terminals for robust electrical and mechanical connections.

Designed for general-purpose applications that require large bulk capacitance and high ripple current handling, this capacitor provides a combination of high capacitance, elevated ripple capability, and a wide operating temperature range for demanding power-related designs.

Key Features

• High Capacitance: 22,000 µF (22 mF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, offering substantial bulk energy storage in a single device.
• Rated Voltage: 100 V DC rating suitable for mid-voltage power designs.
• Ripple Current Capability: Low-frequency ripple current 9.90 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 11.38 A (100 kHz), enabling sustained performance under AC ripple stress.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics: Leakage current specified at 4,440 µA and tanδ (DF) of 0.3 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable electrical behavior.
• Temperature & Endurance: Operating temperature range from −40°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 2,000 hours at 105°C (rated ripple current applied), supporting elevated-temperature deployments.
• Mechanical & Mounting: Radial can with screw terminals (φ76.2 × 100 mm) for secure bolted connections and easy installation in chassis or bracket-mounted arrangements.
• Compliance & Packaging: RoHS compliant and supplied in cardboard packing; product status: mass production.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power systems: Bulk energy storage and smoothing where high capacitance and rated ripple current are required in a compact screw-terminal package.
• Industrial power electronics: Use in systems that operate across −40°C to +105°C and demand robust ripple handling and endurance.
• Power filtering and DC bus support: Large single-capacitor solutions for designs that benefit from reduced component count and strong transient/ripple tolerance.

Unique Advantages

• Large single-device capacitance: 22,000 µF provides substantial bulk capacitance, reducing the need for multiple smaller capacitors in parallel.
• High ripple handling: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequency (9.90 A at 120 Hz; 11.38 A at 100 kHz) support designs with significant AC stress on DC rails.
• Wide operating temperature: −40°C to +105°C operation with 2,000 hours endurance at 105°C offers predictable performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Screw-terminal reliability: Robust screw-terminal connections simplify high-current installation and provide secure mechanical fastening for heavy-duty applications.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Specified leakage current (4,440 µA) and tanδ (0.3 at 20°C, 120 Hz) enable designers to anticipate losses and leakage in system-level calculations.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance supports environmentally constrained designs and procurement requirements.
