LNT2C103MSEB

The LNT2C103MSEB from Nichicon is a screw-terminal, radial can aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 10,000 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating. It is part of the LNT series and is designed for general-purpose applications that require high capacitance, high-voltage bulk storage, and secure screw-terminal connections.

Key performance characteristics include operation to 105°C, a 2,000-hour endurance at 105°C (per series load-life conditions for the 160 V class), and RoHS compliance, making it suitable for robust industrial and commercial power-electronics designs.

Key Features

• High capacitance and voltage: 10,000 µF nominal capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage, providing substantial bulk energy storage in a single radial can package.
• Screw-terminal mounting: Radial can with screw terminals for secure bolted connections and mechanical robustness in panel or bracket-mounted installations.
• Thermal and endurance rating: Operating temperature range of –25°C to +105°C with a specified life/endurance of 2,000 hours at 105°C for the 160 V class.
• Ripple current capability: Low-frequency ripple current of 7.8 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 9.36 A at 100 kHz to handle demanding AC ripple conditions.
• Electrical loss and leakage: Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.2 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and a listed leakage current of 3,790 µA.
• Tolerance and polarization: Capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% and polarized construction for DC applications.
• Mechanical size and packaging: Body dimension φ63.5 × 120L and supplied in cardboard packing for bulk handling.
• Environmental compliance: RoHS‑compliant material set as part of the LNT series specifications.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power systems: Provides bulk capacitance for designs that require 10,000 µF at 160 V in a screw-terminal format for reliable connections.
• Industrial power electronics: Suited to equipment that demands high ripple-current capability and elevated operating temperature endurance up to 105°C.
• DC link and energy storage: Acts as a high-capacitance energy reservoir where high voltage rating and secure screw terminals are required.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial energy storage: 10,000 µF at 160 V reduces the need for multiple smaller capacitors, simplifying BOM and layout.
• High ripple handling: 7.8 A (120 Hz) and 9.36 A (100 kHz) ripple-current ratings support designs with significant AC stress and switching activity.
• Robust thermal endurance: Rated for operation to 105°C with a 2,000-hour life at that temperature class, supporting long-term performance under elevated thermal conditions.
• Secure installation: Screw-terminal construction provides mechanically reliable bolted connections for heavy-current and vibration-prone environments.
• Measured electrical characteristics: tan δ = 0.2 (20°C, 120 Hz) and a defined leakage current of 3,790 µA for predictable circuit behavior.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS‑compliant materials to meet environmental requirements for many commercial and industrial projects.
