LNY2G272MSEF

The LNY2G272MSEF from Nichicon is a screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the LNY series, offering 2700 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating. Designed for general-purpose power applications and equipment downsizing, it delivers high ripple-handling capability and long endurance for demanding DC power circuits.

Key value comes from its combination of high working voltage, large capacitance, and screw-terminal packaging—providing robust current connections, measurable low-frequency and high-frequency ripple performance, and a 2000-hour rated lifetime at 85°C.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 2.7 mF (2700 µF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and 400 V rated voltage for high-voltage DC smoothing and energy buffering.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 10.5 A at 120 Hz and 14.7 A at 10 kHz to support both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Endurance and Temperature Range — Load life of 2000 hours at 85°C and an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C for reliable performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.25 at 20°C/120 Hz and leakage current around 3110 µA, providing predictable dissipation and self-discharge behavior.
• Robust Mechanical Package — Screw-terminal radial can design (φ51 × 115 mm) with M5 bolt nominal diameter for secure, low-resistance connections in power assemblies.
• Compliance and Availability — RoHS-compliant construction and available in mass production with cardboard packing for standard handling.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power circuitry — Provides DC smoothing and bulk energy storage where 400 V rating and large capacitance are required for stable supply rails.
• Equipment downsizing — High capacitance in the LNY series form factor supports reduced overall system volume while maintaining endurance at 85°C.
• Screw-terminal power assemblies — Screw terminal and radial can package enable secure connections and straightforward installation in modular power units and assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage, high-capacitance combination: 400 V rating paired with 2700 µF gives designers a compact option for substantial DC energy storage.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability: Rated ripple current specifications at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz support designs exposed to a range of ripple spectra.
• Designed for elevated-temperature operation: 2000-hour life at 85°C provides predictable longevity in hotter environments.
• Screw-terminal reliability: M5-compatible terminals and a radial can simplify high-current connections and mounting in power assemblies.
• Measurable electrical behavior: Specified tan δ and leakage current figures enable accurate thermal and leakage budgeting in designs.
• Regulatory compliance and production readiness: RoHS compliance and mass production status support supply continuity and regulatory alignment.
