LNT2E153MSE

The LNT2E153MSE is a screw‑terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LNT series, offering 15,000 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating. Engineered for general‑purpose power applications, it combines high bulk capacitance with robust ripple handling and a +105°C temperature rating to support demanding DC link and power‑supply roles.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 15,000 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of -20% to +20%, providing substantial bulk energy storage for power regulation and hold‑up.
• 250 V Rated Voltage — Designed for mid‑to‑high voltage DC applications where a 250 V rating is required.
• Screw Terminal Mounting — Radial can with screw terminals enables secure, low‑resistance connections for high current systems and easy field wiring.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Handles up to 12.7 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 15.24 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), suitable for DC bias plus rated ripple current conditions.
• 105°C Rated with Specified Endurance — Rated operating temperature range of -25°C to +105°C and specified life/endurance of 2,000 hours at 105°C for the 250 V variant.
• Electrical Loss and Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.25 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz; leakage current specified at 5,000 µA.
• Package and Size — φ90 × 170 mm can size (approx. L: 17 × D: 9 cm) in a radial, screw‑terminal package; supplied in cardboard packing for handling and storage.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements as specified in the product data.

Typical Applications

• Power supply bulk filtering — Large 15,000 µF capacitance and 250 V rating provide bulk energy storage and smoothing for DC power rails.
• DC link and inverter support — Screw‑terminal connections and high ripple current capability accommodate DC bias plus rated ripple current in power conversion circuits.
• Industrial power electronics — 105°C temperature rating and 2,000‑hour endurance at that temperature suit sustained operation in industrial environments.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial energy density: 15,000 µF at 250 V supplies significant stored energy for hold‑up and smoothing without parallel component complexity.
• Robust ripple handling: Specified ripple currents of 12.7 A (120 Hz) and 15.24 A (100 kHz) reduce the need for multiple capacitors to share ripple duty.
• Secure mechanical and electrical connection: Screw‑terminal package supports reliable, low‑impedance wiring for high‑current applications.
• High‑temperature endurance: Rated to +105°C with a defined 2,000‑hour life at that temperature (for 10 to 250 V range), enabling reliable operation in hot assemblies.
• Clear electrical characteristics: Specified tan δ (0.25 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and defined leakage current simplify design margin calculations and validation.
• Compliance and packaging: RoHS compliance and cardboard packing support regulatory and handling requirements.
