LNT2C222MSEN

The LNT2C222MSEN from Nichicon is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LNT series, offering 2.2 mF (2200 µF) capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage. The radial can with screw terminals and polar construction is designed for general-purpose power applications that require bulk capacitance, high ripple handling and a compact cylindrical package.

Key value propositions include high ripple-current capability across low and high frequencies, a 2000-hour endurance rating at 105°C for 160 V parts, and RoHS compliance for regulated designs. The capacitor is supplied in cardboard packing and is available in mass production quantities.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 2.2 mF (2200 µF) nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, providing substantial bulk energy storage for power systems.
• Screw-Terminal Mechanical Package: Radial can with screw terminals (φ35 × 100L / L: 10 × D: 3.5 cm) for secure, low-resistance connections in rack-mounted or chassis-mounted equipment.
• Ripple Current Performance: 2700 mA low-frequency ripple current at 120 Hz and 3240 mA high-frequency ripple current at 100 kHz, supporting continuous filtering under AC ripple loads.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Rated for 2000 hours at +105°C (applicable to 160 V parts) with defined limits: capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ ≤ 300% of initial specified value, and leakage current no greater than initial specified value after test.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics: Specified leakage current of 1770 µA and a tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.15, enabling predictable dissipation and leakage behavior.
• Operating Temperature Range: –25°C to +105°C, suitable for a wide range of industrial ambient conditions.
• Regulatory Compliance & Packaging: RoHS compliant; supplied in cardboard packing and available in mass production volumes.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power electronics: Bulk energy storage and filtering in power supplies and industrial control equipment where 160 V rating and large capacitance are required.
• AC/DC converters and inverters: Smoothing and ripple suppression under continuous ripple current stress, leveraging the specified low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings.
• UPS and energy-holding circuits: Energy buffering and decoupling uses that benefit from the capacitor’s large capacitance and 160 V rating.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance at elevated voltage: 2.2 mF at 160 V provides significant energy storage in a compact φ35 × 100L can for designs requiring higher DC bus voltage handling.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability: Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz (2.7 A) and 100 kHz (3.24 A) support designs exposed to a range of ripple sources and switching frequencies.
• Heat-rated endurance: 2000-hour life at 105°C for 160 V parts with specified retention limits ensures predictable aging under high-temperature operation.
• Screw-terminal connectivity: Robust screw-terminal mounting simplifies high-current connections and mechanical retention in industrial assemblies.
• Predictable electrical characteristics: Specified tan δ (0.15) and defined leakage current enable designers to account for dissipation and self-discharge in system budgets.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports deployment in regions and projects with restricted substance requirements.
