LNT2C332MSE

The LNT2C332MSE is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LNT series. It provides 3.3 mF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a radial can with screw terminals, designed for general-purpose power applications that require high capacitance and robust thermal endurance.

Built for operation up to 105°C with a defined 2,000 hour endurance at that temperature for this voltage class, the LNT2C332MSE is suited to applications that demand stable capacitance, controlled dissipation factor, and high ripple-handling in a screw-mount package.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 3.3 mF (3300 µF) nominal capacitance with tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Voltage Rating — Rated at 160 V DC for applications requiring mid‑range voltage capability.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range −25°C to +105°C and a life/endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C for the 10–250 V range, per the LNT series specification.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current of 3.8 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 4.56 A at 100 kHz, supporting significant AC ripple handling.
• Dissipation Factor (tan δ) — tan δ (DF) of 0.15 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable loss characteristics.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2170 µA after standard voltage application, enabling predictable quiescent behavior.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can with screw terminals (φ51×80L / L: 8 cm × D: 5.1 cm) and M5 nominal bolt terminal for secure, high-current mechanical and electrical connections.
• Regulatory & Production — RoHS compliant and available in mass production with cardboard packing for handling and storage.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power systems — Bulk energy storage and smoothing where 3.3 mF at 160 V and 105°C operation are required.
• Industrial power electronics — Screw-terminal mounting supports secure electrical and mechanical connection for boards and assemblies that handle high ripple currents.
• Power supply filtering — High ripple current capability and defined dissipation factor help maintain stable filtering in DC power rails and converters.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact screw-can — 3300 µF in a φ51×80L radial can provides substantial bulk capacitance where space and screw-terminal mounting are needed.
• Rated for elevated operating temperature — Specified for −25°C to +105°C operation with a 2000 h endurance at 105°C for this voltage class, supporting designs that run hot.
• Robust ripple handling — Distinct low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (3.8 A @120 Hz, 4.56 A @100 kHz) that simplify thermal and ripple margin calculations.
• Predictable electrical behavior — Specified tan δ (0.15 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and defined leakage current (2170 µA) make it easier to model loss and standby characteristics.
• Secure, serviceable connections — Screw terminal (M5 for φ51) mechanical mounting provides reliable electrical contact and straightforward installation or replacement.
• RoHS compliant & production-ready — Conforms to RoHS and is available in mass production with cardboard packing for manufacturing use.
