LNX2L152MSEG

The LNX2L152MSEG is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's LNX series, offered in a screw-terminal radial can. It provides 1.5 mF (1500 µF) capacitance at a 550 V rating for extra-high-voltage, high-ripple applications.

Designed for industrial power environments, the part is suited for use in industrial power supplies and inverter circuitry where high ripple current capability, robust screw-terminal connections, and long-term reliability are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) nominal capacitance with a 550 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Screw-terminal package — Radial can with screw terminals for secure, low-impedance connections in high-current installations.
• High ripple current — Rated ripple currents of 6 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 8.4 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) to support demanding power-conversion loads.
• Operating temperature & endurance — Rated for operation from −25°C to +85°C; endurance for parts rated at 550 V is specified as 5000 hours at 85°C with D.C. bias plus rated ripple current applied.
• Leakage current specification — After 5 minutes at rated voltage, leakage current is limited to 3√CV (µA) or 5 mA, whichever is smaller, per the datasheet definition.
• Low-temperature stability — Impedance stability characterized with Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) up to 8, providing predictable behavior across the rated temperature range.
• Safety & compliance options — Flame retardant electrolyte types are available and the product is RoHS compliant.
• Physical footprint — Package dimensions: length 13 cm × diameter 6.35 cm (radial can), suitable for screw-terminal mounting arrangements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial power supplies — Used in power-supply stages where high DC voltage and sustained ripple currents are present, including inverter front-ends.
• Inverter circuitry — Designed to handle the high ripple currents and elevated voltages typical of inverter and converter designs.
• Extra-high-voltage applications — The 550 V rating supports deployment in systems requiring extra-high-voltage capacitors with robust terminals.

Unique Advantages

• Extra-high voltage capability: 550 V rating enables use in higher-voltage power conversion stages without stacking lower-rated components.
• High ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (6 A at 120 Hz, 8.4 A at 100 kHz) reduce thermal stress and improve reliability under demanding load conditions.
• Screw-terminal robustness: Radial can with screw terminals provides secure mechanical and electrical connections suited to industrial installations.
• Long-life specification for 550 V parts: Endurance defined as 5000 hours at 85°C with rated ripple and DC bias ensures predictable lifetime performance in high-voltage applications.
• Leakage and stability controls: Datasheet-defined leakage-current limits and impedance characteristics give designers measurable criteria for margining and thermal management.
• Compliance and safety option: RoHS compliance and availability of flame-retardant electrolyte types support regulatory needs and safer failure modes.
