Overview of LNU2W123MSEJ – Screw‑Terminal High‑Voltage Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The LNU2W123MSEJ is a screw‑terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LNU series designed for high‑voltage industrial power applications. It is a polarized, radial can capacitor built for inverter and regenerative circuits where high DC voltage handling, high ripple capacity and robust thermal performance are required.
Rated at 12 mF and 450 V DC, the LNU2W123MSEJ combines high‑voltage capability with a smaller package footprint versus the LNT series, a high operating temperature rating up to 105°C, and a load life specification suited to demanding industrial use.
Key Features
- High Voltage Capability — Rated at 450 V DC (series rated up to DC525 V), enabling use in industrial inverter and power supply circuits that require elevated DC voltage handling.
- High Capacitance — 12 mF capacitance for energy storage and smoothing in power electronics and regenerative circuits.
- High Temperature Life — Designed for operation from −40°C to +105°C with a rated load life of 5000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current conditions.
- High Ripple Current Handling — Ripple current specifications include 29.9 A at 120 Hz and 41.86 A at 10 kHz, supporting high‑frequency charge/discharge and regenerative loads.
- Screw Terminal Mounting — Radial can with screw terminals for secure electrical and mechanical connections in panel and bus configurations; brackets supplied separately per series documentation.
- Leakage and Endurance Characteristics — Leakage current after 5 minutes is specified not more than 3√CV (μA) or 5 mA (whichever is smaller) at 20°C; endurance criteria defined for 5000 hours at 105°C with D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
- RoHS Compliant — Meets the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
- Compact Mechanical Profile — Smaller sized than LNT series for space‑constrained designs; size dimension listed as L: 19.5 × D: 9 cm and maximum seated height 7.677 inch.
Typical Applications
- Industrial Inverters: Energy storage and smoothing for inverter DC links and power conditioning in factory automation and motor control systems.
- AC Servomotor Drives: Handling high‑frequency regenerative voltages and rapid charge‑discharge cycles in servo and motion control applications.
- Industrial Power Supplies: Bulk filtering and ripple suppression in high‑voltage industrial power supplies and converters.
Unique Advantages
- High‑Voltage, High‑Energy Storage: 12 mF at 450 V DC provides substantial stored energy for smoothing and transient support in power electronics.
- Thermal and Operational Durability: Rated for −40°C to +105°C operation with a 5000‑hour load life at 105°C, delivering predictable performance in hot industrial environments.
- High Ripple Current Capacity: Specified ripple current up to 41.86 A at 10 kHz supports high‑frequency regenerative and switching applications.
- Secure Screw‑Terminal Interface: Screw terminals and radial can construction simplify installation and maintenance in industrial assemblies.
- Space‑Efficient Design: Smaller sizing relative to the LNT series helps reduce cabinet and board space in densely packed power systems.
- Standards Compliance: RoHS compliance supports regulatory requirements for end products.
