LNT2A332MSE

The LNT2A332MSE is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LNT series. It delivers 3.3 mF (3300 µF) capacitance at a 100 V rating in a radial can with screw terminals for secure, low-impedance connections.

Designed for general-purpose power applications, this capacitor combines high capacitance, specified ripple-current capability, and a −40°C to 105°C operating range with a 2000 hour endurance rating at 105°C, making it suitable for demanding power-filtering and energy-storage roles.

Key Features

• Core Electrical: 3.3 mF (3300 µF) capacitance with tolerance −20% to +20% and a rated voltage of 100 V. Polarized design for DC applications.
• Loss & Leakage: Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz; specified leakage current 1720 µA.
• Ripple Current: Low-frequency ripple current 3.3 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 3.795 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective AC ripple handling across frequencies.
• Thermal & Endurance: Operating temperature range −40°C to 105°C with a rated life/endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current.
• Mechanical & Package: Radial can with screw terminals, size φ35 × 80L (approx. D: 3.5 cm × L: 8.0 cm); supplied in cardboard packing and in mass-production status.
• Regulatory: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power supplies (bulk smoothing): 3.3 mF at 100 V provides bulk energy storage and ripple smoothing in general-purpose DC power supplies.
• Power conversion and DC-link filtering: Screw-terminal mounting and specified ripple currents support secure connections and thermal planning in power conversion equipment.
• Industrial control equipment: −40°C to 105°C rating and 2000 h endurance at 105°C suit continuous operation in industrial environments requiring reliable power filtering.
• Transient energy storage: High capacitance and rated voltage make the part appropriate for handling inrush or transient energy needs in general-purpose systems.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial energy storage at voltage: 3.3 mF at 100 V provides significant DC energy capacity in a single radial can, reducing the need for multiple capacitors in parallel.
• Defined AC performance: Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents (3.3 A at 120 Hz; 3.795 A at 100 kHz) and measured tanδ simplify thermal and ripple-design calculations.
• High-temperature endurance: Rated for operation up to 105°C with a 2000 hour endurance rating when exposed to rated ripple current, supporting sustained elevated-temperature use.
• Robust screw-terminal connectivity: Screw-terminal package provides secure electrical and mechanical termination for higher-current and serviceable connections.
• Production-ready and compliant: Mass-production status and RoHS compliance ease procurement and regulatory acceptance for general-purpose designs.
