LNT2C472MSE

The LNT2C472MSE is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LNT series. It delivers 4700 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a radial can with screw terminals, designed for general-purpose applications that require high capacitance and substantial ripple handling.

This device combines a wide operating temperature range and defined endurance characteristics—-25°C to 105°C with a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C—-making it suitable where sustained ripple currents and elevated operating temperatures are expected.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 4700 µF nominal (4.7 mF) with tolerance of -20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C, providing defined bulk energy storage.
• Rated Voltage — 160 V DC rated voltage for higher-voltage power applications.
• Screw Terminal Mounting — Radial can with screw terminals for secure, low-resistance connections and easy installation in power assemblies.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 4.5 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 5.4 A (100 kHz), specified for thermal and performance planning.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — 2000 hours life at 105°C with operating range from -25°C to 105°C (specified for 160 V products in the LNT series).
• Leakage & Dissipation — Leakage current specified at 2600 µA; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.15 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Form Factor — Size φ51 × 100 mm length, packaged in cardboard for bulk handling; mass-production availability.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant, per product data.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Power Systems — Suitable for systems that require 4700 µF capacitance at 160 V with screw-terminal mounting for secure high-current connections.
• High-Ripple Environments — Applicable where defined ripple current handling is required (4.5 A at 120 Hz, 5.4 A at 100 kHz) for smoothing and decoupling tasks.
• Elevated Temperature Installations — Intended for designs operating across -25°C to 105°C with rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C for lifetime planning.

Unique Advantages

• High-Capacity Value: 4700 µF provides significant bulk energy storage per unit for reduced external capacitor count.
• Robust Ripple Handling: Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents allow designers to size cooling and derating precisely.
• Screw-Terminal Reliability: Screw terminals enable low-impedance, mechanically secure connections suitable for power assemblies.
• Temperature-Endurance Specification: 2000 hours at 105°C gives a clear metric for thermal lifetime in elevated-temperature designs.
• Measurable Loss Characteristics: tan δ = 0.15 at 20°C/120 Hz and defined leakage current (2600 µA) support accurate circuit loss and standby calculations.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant construction aligns with environmental requirements for many designs.
