Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LNT2A103MSEN is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 10000 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 100 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Lifetime specification: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial, Can - Screw Terminals (exact match required)
• Mounting configuration: Chassis Mount (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: Lead spacing 0.866" (22.00mm), diameter 2.008" (51.00mm), height 4.055" (103.00mm) (exact match required)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The LNT2A103MSE qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute based on full alignment with all specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LNT2A103MSEN and LNT2A103MSE are Active status components manufactured by Nichicon within the LNT series. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability, lead time, or supply chain considerations, as electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are equivalent across all specified parameters. The LNT2A103MSE exhibits a lower ripple current rating at 10 kHz (7.705 A versus 10.05 A), which should be evaluated against application-specific ripple current requirements at high frequencies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LNT2A103MSE be used as a direct replacement for the LNT2A103MSEN?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in capacitance (10000 µF), voltage rating (100 V), tolerance (±20%), lifetime specification (2000 Hrs @ 105°C), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), physical dimensions, lead spacing, and mounting configuration. Both are ROHS3 compliant and Active status products from Nichicon's LNT series.

Q: Are there any differences in ripple current performance?

A: The LNT2A103MSE has a lower ripple current rating at 10 kHz (7.705 A) compared to the LNT2A103MSEN (10.05 A). Both maintain identical ripple current at 120 Hz (6.7 A). Applications requiring high-frequency ripple current handling above 7.705 A should use the LNT2A103MSEN.

Q: Do both parts have the same physical footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions: 2.008" diameter (51.00mm), 4.055" maximum seated height (103.00mm), and 0.866" lead spacing (22.00mm). Both use screw terminal connections and are configured for chassis mount applications.

Q: Are compliance certifications identical?

A: Yes. Both the LNT2A103MSEN and LNT2A103MSE are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. Both carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.22.0055) classifications.
