LNT2C153MSEN

The LNT2C153MSEN is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a screw-terminal, radial can package delivering 15,000 µF of capacitance at a 160 V rating. It is designed for general-purpose power applications that require high bulk storage, robust ripple handling and secure screw-terminal connections.

Key attributes include a wide operating temperature range of -25°C to 105°C, a rated life of 2,000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current, and RoHS compliance. Its physical size is φ76.2 × 120 mm (L: 12 × D: 7.62 cm), suitable for systems that accommodate a larger form-factor capacitor.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 15,000 µF (15 mF) nominal capacitance with tolerance of -20% to +20% for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Rated Voltage & Temperature — 160 V rated voltage with an operating temperature range of -25°C to 105°C.
• Endurance — Rated life of 2,000 hours at 105°C with application of rated ripple current, meeting the LNT series endurance specification for 10 to 250 V components.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 9.8 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 11.76 A (100 kHz) for demanding power filtering tasks.
• Electrical Losses and Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified as 0.2 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current of 4,640 µA.
• Mounting & Mechanical — Screw terminal radial can package with M5 bolt nominal terminal for secure, low-resistance connections; overall dimension φ76.2 × 120L (mm).
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and energy reserve in power supply rails where 160 V rating and high capacitance are required.
• Industrial power electronics — Filtering and decoupling in industrial or commercial power systems that operate within the specified voltage and temperature ranges.
• High-ripple environments — Circuits requiring substantial ripple-current capability at both low and high frequencies, leveraging the specified 9.8 A (120 Hz) and 11.76 A (100 kHz) ratings.

Unique Advantages

• Large bulk capacitance: 15,000 µF provides substantial energy storage for smoothing and hold-up without parallel arrays.
• High-voltage capability: 160 V rating enables use on higher-voltage rails within the general-purpose category.
• Dual-frequency ripple performance: Specified ripple current at 120 Hz and 100 kHz supports both low-frequency and high-frequency filtering demands.
• High-temperature endurance: Rated 2,000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current for applications requiring sustained elevated-temperature performance.
• Screw-terminal mounting: Robust terminal design simplifies secure electrical and mechanical connection for serviceable installations.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for use in applications requiring lead-restricted materials.
