Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LNR2C153MSEN is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Capacitance: 15000 µF (exact match required)
  • Voltage Rating: 160 V (exact match required)
  • Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
  • Lifetime: 5000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)
  • Operating Temperature Range: -25°C ~ 85°C (exact match required)
  • Ripple Current Ratings: 12 A @ 120 Hz and 14.4 A @ 10 kHz (exact match required)
  • Physical Dimensions: 3.000" Dia, 4.055" Height, 1.252" Lead Spacing (exact match required)
  • Package Type: Radial, Can - Screw Terminals (exact match required)
  • Mounting: Chassis Mount (exact match required)
  • Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Affected (exact match required)

The LNR2C153MSE meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LNR2C153MSEN and LNR2C153MSE are active production components manufactured by Nichicon with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for industrial and commercial applications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain logistics, as no technical differentiation exists between the two part numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LNR2C153MSE be used as a direct replacement for LNR2C153MSEN?

A: Yes. The LNR2C153MSE is a parametric equivalent with identical capacitance (15000 µF), voltage rating (160 V), tolerance (±20%), thermal lifetime (5000 Hrs @ 85°C), ripple current specifications, physical dimensions, and package configuration. Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically valid.

Q: Are there any differences in compliance or certifications between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status. No compliance differentiation exists.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this capacitor?

A: Substitution requires exact equivalence across capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance, thermal lifetime, operating temperature range, ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz, physical dimensions (diameter, height, lead spacing), package type (radial can with screw terminals), mounting configuration (chassis mount), and regulatory compliance status.

Q: Can parts with different voltage ratings or capacitance values substitute for the LNR2C153MSEN?

A: No. Voltage rating and capacitance are critical electrical parameters. Any deviation from 160 V or 15000 µF disqualifies a part from substitution eligibility.

Q: Are the screw terminal connections identical between substitute parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical radial, can-style screw terminal configurations with matching lead spacing (1.252" / 31.80 mm) and physical dimensions, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in existing circuit board layouts and chassis mount applications.
