LNT2C223MSEN

The LNT2C223MSEN is a screw‑terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LNT series, specified for high-capacitance, high-voltage bulk energy and smoothing applications. It provides 22,000 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage in a radial can with screw terminals, designed for general‑purpose power electronics where large capacitance, high ripple handling and secure terminations are required.

Key value propositions include high ripple current capability, extended operating temperature to +105°C, and a rated endurance of 2,000 hours at 105°C for the 10–250 V range—delivering robust performance for demanding power systems.

Key Features

• High Capacitance & Voltage: 22,000 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20%, providing substantial bulk energy storage for power smoothing and DC‑bus applications.
• Robust Ripple Handling: Low‑frequency ripple current of 12.5 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current of 15 A (100 kHz), enabling effective suppression of AC components across a wide frequency range.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Rated life of 2,000 hours at +105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current (per LNT series specification for 10–250 V), supporting sustained operation in high‑temperature environments.
• Electrical Loss & Leakage: Specified tan δ (DF) of 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, and leakage current of 5,000 µA after specified test conditions—useful for evaluating ESR/DF behavior and standby losses.
• Rugged Mechanical & Mounting Design: Radial can with screw terminals (φ76.2×140L dimension; L: 14 cm × D: 7.62 cm) and M5 nominal bolt terminals for secure, low‑impedance connections in heavy‑current installations.
• Operating Range & Compliance: Polarized device rated for −25°C to +105°C operation and RoHS compliant; packaged in cardboard for bulk handling and currently in mass production.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Bulk Smoothing: Large capacitance and 160 V rating make this capacitor suitable for DC bus and bulk energy buffering to reduce voltage ripple and stabilize power rails.
• Industrial Power Electronics: High ripple current ratings and screw‑terminal mounting support use in inverters, converters and motor drives where secure, high‑current connections are required.
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and Energy Storage: The combination of high capacitance and endurance at 105°C provides reliable short‑term energy buffering and ride‑through capability.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Bulk Energy Capacity: 22,000 µF at 160 V supplies large charge storage for smoothing and transient support without parallel arrays of smaller capacitors.
• High Ripple Current Tolerance: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (12.5 A / 15 A) reduce heating and extend service life under AC‑ridden DC loads.
• Designed for Elevated Temperatures: 2,000‑hour endurance at +105°C gives predictable lifetime performance in hot operating environments.
• Secure Screw‑Terminal Connections: M5 screw terminals on a φ76.2 can provide low‑impedance, mechanically robust terminations for high‑current bus connections.
• Measurable Loss Characteristics: Specified tan δ (0.2 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and stated leakage current allow engineers to model dissipation and standby losses accurately.
• RoHS Compliant & Production Ready: RoHS compliance and mass production status support procurement and regulatory requirements for commercial designs.
