Overview of LNU2H122MSEF – Screw-Terminal High‑Voltage Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LNU2H122MSEF is a screw‑terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for industrial power electronics. It delivers 1.2 mF capacitance at a 500 V DC rating in a radial can with robust screw terminals for secure connections.
Engineered for inverter circuitry and high‑frequency regenerative applications, the LNU2H122MSEF supports heavy ripple loading and high‑speed charge–discharge cycles while operating across a −40°C to +105°C temperature range and offering a 5000‑hour life at 105°C.
Key Features
- Electrical Performance 1.2 mF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 500 V rated voltage; polarized design for DC energy storage and filtering.
- High Ripple Capability Supports 5.7 A ripple current at 120 Hz and 7.98 A at 100 kHz, enabling use in both low‑ and high‑frequency power stages.
- Thermal Endurance Rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +105°C with a specified load life of 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple conditions.
- Robust Screw‑Terminal Package Radial can with screw terminals for secure, serviceable connections; compatible with M5 nominal bolts for the 51 mm diameter variant.
- Compact High‑Voltage Design Series design delivers high voltage capability in a smaller footprint than the LNT series, supporting space‑constrained industrial layouts. Dimensions: L 11.5 × D 5.1 cm.
- Reliability and Safety Screening Endurance, shelf‑life, and charge–discharge endurance tests per datasheet criteria with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after stress.
- Regulatory Compliance RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863); marked with white print on a black sleeve for clear identification.
Typical Applications
- Industrial Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in high‑voltage power supplies used for industrial equipment.
