LNT2C332MSEN

The LNT2C332MSEN is a large-can, screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's LNT series. It delivers 3.3 mF (3300 µF) capacitance at a 160 V rating and is designed for general purpose power applications where high bulk capacitance, elevated voltage capability and robust screw-terminal mounting are required.

Key attributes include a wide operating temperature range from −25 °C to +105 °C, a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C, and high ripple current handling at both low and high frequencies—making it suitable for designs needing reliable energy storage and smoothing in compact, bolt-mounted can packages (φ51 × 80L).

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 3.3 mF (3300 µF) nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Thermal Performance & Endurance — Rated for operation from −25 °C to +105 °C with a specified life of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated ripple and DC bias.
• Ripple Current Capability — Handles low-frequency ripple current of 3.8 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 4.56 A at 100 kHz, supporting both mains-frequency and higher-frequency applications.
• Loss Angle / Dissipation — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.15 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz), enabling predictable AC loss behavior in design calculations.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2170 µA after 5 minutes at rated voltage (measurement at 20 °C), useful for power-budget and standby-current considerations.
• Screw Terminal Package — Radial can with screw terminals (φ51 × 80L) for secure bolt/terminal connections and straightforward mechanical mounting using brackets.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Power Systems — Provides bulk energy storage and smoothing in general purpose power designs within the specified 160 V rating.
• Industrial Electronics — Suited for industrial equipment requiring robust screw-terminal mounting and elevated temperature endurance up to 105 °C.
• High-Capacitance Requirements — Ideal where large single-capacitor capacitance (3.3 mF) in a compact can form factor is needed.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance at Elevated Voltage — 3300 µF at 160 V supplies significant energy storage in a single component, simplifying board layout and reducing part count.
• Designed for Elevated Temperature Operation — Rated to 105 °C with a 2000-hour endurance rating at that temperature, supporting demanding thermal environments.
• Robust Screw-Terminal Mounting — Screw terminals and radial can package allow secure electrical and mechanical connections for heavy-current or vibration-prone installations.
• Wide Frequency Ripple Performance — Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 100 kHz accommodate both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions in power electronics.
• Predictable Electrical Behavior — Specified tan δ (0.15) and defined leakage current support accurate thermal and energy-loss budgeting in designs.
• RoHS Compliance — Meets RoHS requirements for environmentally restricted substances.
