LNT2C153MSEB

The LNT2C153MSEB is a screw‑terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LNT series, offering 15,000 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating. Designed for general‑purpose power circuitry, it delivers high bulk capacitance, defined ripple current capability, and a robust 105°C endurance profile for demanding power management tasks.

Key Features

• High Capacitance and Voltage — 15,000 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage provides substantial bulk energy storage for power rail smoothing and hold‑up.
• Defined Tolerance and Loss — ±20% capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, and a measured tanδ (dissipation factor) of 0.2 (20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable performance in design margins.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current rated at 9.8 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current rated at 11.76 A (100 kHz) to support high‑current power applications.
• Leakage Current Specified — Leakage current defined at 4,640 µA, enabling accurate loss and thermal budgeting.
• Thermal Endurance — Rated operating temperature range −25°C to +105°C with an endurance (life) rating of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias.
• Screw‑Terminal, Radial Can Package — φ76.2 × 120 mm can with screw terminals (M5 bolt nominal for this diameter) for secure, low‑impedance connections in power assemblies; packaged in cardboard for handling.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Circuits — Bulk energy storage and smoothing for general‑purpose power supplies and converters where large capacitance and a 160 V rating are required.
• Industrial Power Systems — Filtering and ripple suppression in industrial power electronics that benefit from the capacitor's defined ripple current ratings and endurance at 105°C.
• Energy Hold‑up and DC Link — Bulk hold‑up and DC link capacitance in systems requiring high stored energy per volume, leveraging the 15,000 µF capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• High stored energy per device: 15,000 µF at 160 V provides substantial bulk capacitance to reduce the number of parallel devices required for energy storage.
• Predictable thermal performance: Endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions enables reliable thermal planning for high‑temperature installations.
• Clear ripple‑handling specifications: Separate low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (9.8 A @120 Hz, 11.76 A @100 kHz) allow engineers to size components against measured ripple spectra.
• Secure screw‑terminal connections: Radial can with screw terminals supports robust, low‑impedance connections for high current paths and ease of assembly in power racks and panels.
• Measured loss and leakage data: Specified tanδ (0.2) and leakage current (4,640 µA) give designers concrete parameters for damping, ESR-related heating, and standby loss calculations.
• RoHS compliance: Simplifies environmental compliance planning for product BOMs.
