LNT2E103MSE

The LNT2E103MSE is a screw-terminal, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose applications that require high ripple current handling and elevated operating temperature. It is part of Nichicon’s LNT series (105°C standard) and combines a 10 mF capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage in a radial can with screw terminals.

This part offers robust ripple-current performance at both low and high frequencies, extended operating temperature up to +105°C, and a rated load-life appropriate for 250 V devices. It is RoHS compliant and intended for use where durable, high-current electrolytic bulk capacitance is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 10 mF capacitance rated at 250 V for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power systems.
• Screw-Terminal Package — Radial can with screw terminals for secure, high-current connections and easy mechanical mounting.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 9.6 A at 120 Hz and 11.52 A at 100 kHz for demanding AC ripple conditions.
• Temperature & Load Life — Operating temperature range of −25°C to +105°C with a load life of 2,000 hours at +105°C for the 10–250 V range.
• Capacitance Tolerance & Polarization — ±20% tolerance (−20% to +20%); polarized device for correct polarity installation.
• Dimensions — Specified size L: 14 × D: 9 cm and a maximum seated height of 5.512 inch, suitable for chassis-mounted applications requiring larger bulk capacitors.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power systems — Use where a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor with high ripple-current capability and operation to +105°C is required.
• Industrial power electronics — Suitable for designs that require screw-terminal connections and robust bulk capacitance at 250 V.
• Chassis- or cabinet-mounted energy storage — Radial can with screw terminals enables secure mechanical and electrical mounting for larger-capacity installations.

Unique Advantages

• High current handling: Rated ripple currents of 9.6 A (120 Hz) and 11.52 A (100 kHz) directly address AC ripple stress without overstating performance.
• Elevated temperature capability: Operation up to +105°C with a specified load life (2,000 hours at +105°C for 10–250 V) supports sustained thermal environments.
• Secure screw-terminal connections: Screw terminals provide reliable, low-resistance terminations for high-current paths and simple field installation.
• Clear electrical specification: Polarized 10 mF at 250 V with ±20% tolerance makes selection and substitution straightforward for designers tracking bulk capacitance and voltage requirements.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in regulated markets and reduces material-restriction risk.
