LNT2C102MSEN

The LNT2C102MSEN is a Nichicon LNT-series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a screw-terminal can, offering 1000 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating. Designed for general-purpose power applications, it delivers high ripple-handling capability and long endurance for demanding industrial and power-electronics systems.

With a 105°C temperature rating, screw-terminal mounting and a φ35 × 80 mm can, this component supports robust, serviceable connections where reliable bulk capacitance and high-voltage operation are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1000 µF nominal capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage, with tolerance −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• High-temperature rating: 105°C standard rating suitable for elevated operating environments; rated lifetime 2000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current for this voltage range.
• Ripple current performance: Low-frequency ripple current 1.6 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.92 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing and decoupling in power systems.
• Loss and leakage: Dissipation factor (tan δ) 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and specified leakage current of 1200 µA, providing predictable loss and self-discharge behavior.
• Rugged screw-terminal package: Radial can with screw terminals for secure, high-current connections and easy installation or replacement in field serviceable designs.
• Operating range & compliance: Polarized device rated for −25°C to +105°C operation and compliant with RoHS directives; supplied in cardboard packing and in mass-production status.

Typical Applications

• Industrial power supplies: Bulk energy storage and smoothing on 160 V rails where high ripple current and elevated temperature endurance are required.
• Motor drives and inverters: DC-link smoothing and transient buffering in drive electronics that demand robust screw-terminal connections.
• Uninterruptible power systems and energy storage: Energy buffering and decoupling for medium-voltage backup systems and converters.
• Test and measurement equipment: Stable capacitance and predictable loss characteristics for laboratory power sources and bench instrumentation.

Unique Advantages

• Screw-terminal connectivity: Provides durable, low-resistance electrical connections that simplify assembly and maintenance in high-current installations.
• High ripple capability: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies reduce heating and extend in-application reliability during heavy load cycling.
• 105°C endurance: Rated operation up to 105°C with a documented 2000-hour life at rated ripple current for the 160 V class, supporting continuous operation in warm environments.
• Measurable performance metrics: Clear specifications for tan δ, leakage current and capacitance tolerance enable predictable circuit design and component selection.
• RoHS compliant and production-ready: Environmentally compliant construction and mass-production availability ease procurement and integration into commercial products.
