The LNT2C103MSEN is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose power applications. It delivers 10,000 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a robust radial can with screw terminals, offering high ripple-handling capability and long-term operation up to 105°C.

Engineered for systems requiring bulk energy storage and DC filtering, this part combines high capacitance, significant ripple current capacity, and a 2,000-hour endurance at 105°C for demanding thermal environments.

Key Features

• Electrolytic Core & Capacitance — 10,000 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of -20% to +20% for bulk energy storage and smoothing functions.
• Voltage Rating — Rated for 160 V DC, providing margin for higher-voltage power rails and DC-link applications.
• High Ripple Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 7.8 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 9.36 A (100 kHz) to support high-load and switching environments.
• Electrical Losses — Dissipation factor (tan δ) specified at 0.2 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) to characterize AC loss performance.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 3790 µA after rated voltage application, enabling predictable standby and leakage budgets.
• Thermal & Endurance — Operating range of -25°C to +105°C and rated life of 2,000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias conditions.
• Mechanicals & Mounting — φ63.5 × 120 mm can (radial with screw terminals) and M5 terminal hardware dimensions for secure, low-impedance connections.
• Handling & Packaging — Supplied in cardboard packing and available in mass-production quantities for production-level sourcing.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power supplies and converters — Bulk smoothing and energy storage for DC rails where 10,000 µF and a 160 V rating provide stable voltage under load and transient events.
• DC link and motor-drive systems — Supports DC-link decoupling and ripple absorption in systems with significant switching ripple, leveraging the rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies.
• Industrial equipment — General-purpose filtering and energy buffering in industrial control and power electronics assemblies operating up to 105°C.
• Backup and hold-up circuits — Provides stored energy for short-term hold-up and ride-through requirements thanks to its high capacitance and rated voltage.

Unique Advantages

• Large capacitance in a compact screw-terminal package: 10,000 µF in a φ63.5 × 120 mm can minimizes board footprint while delivering bulk storage.
• Robust ripple performance: Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents (7.8 A @120 Hz, 9.36 A @100 kHz) enable reliable operation with switching converters and heavy AC ripple environments.
• High-temperature endurance: Rated life of 2,000 hours at 105°C provides predictable longevity in elevated-temperature installations.
• Secure electrical connections: Screw terminal mounting and M5-compatible terminals offer low-impedance, high-reliability terminations for power assemblies.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Specified tan δ (0.2 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current (3790 µA) allow engineers to model losses and standby currents accurately.
• Production-ready availability: Cardboard packed and listed as mass production to support procurement and volume deployment.
