LNT2C103MSEN Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LNT2C103MSEN is a 10000 µF, 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Nichicon in the LNT series. This radial, can-style component features screw terminals for chassis mount applications and is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C. The part is Active status and widely used in general purpose applications requiring high capacitance and voltage ratings. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for design flexibility, inventory management, or supply chain continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LNT2C103MSEN are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance: 10000 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 160 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Lifetime: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Ripple Current Ratings: 7.8 A @ 120 Hz and 9.36 A @ 10 kHz (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 2.500" Dia, 4.843" Height, 1.126" Lead Spacing (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - Screw Terminals (exact match required)
• Mounting: Chassis Mount (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

The LNT2C103MSE meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LNT2C103MSEN and LNT2C103MSE are Active status components manufactured by Nichicon and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability, lead time, or supply chain requirements, as they are functionally interchangeable for all specified applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LNT2C103MSE be used as a direct replacement for LNT2C103MSEN?

A: Yes. The LNT2C103MSE is a parametric equivalent with identical capacitance (10000 µF), voltage rating (160 V), tolerance (±20%), thermal lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 105°C), ripple current ratings, physical dimensions, and package configuration. Both parts are chassis mount, radial can capacitors with screw terminals.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status. Both are Active status components from Nichicon's LNT series.

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the LNT2C103MSEN?

A: Substitution requires exact equivalence in capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, thermal lifetime, operating temperature range, ripple current specifications, physical dimensions, lead spacing, package type, and mounting configuration. Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies a part from substitution.

Q: Can parts with different lead spacing or physical dimensions be used?

A: No. The LNT2C103MSEN specifies 1.126" (28.60 mm) lead spacing, 2.500" (64.60 mm) diameter, and 4.843" (123.00 mm) maximum height. Substitute parts must match these dimensions exactly for proper chassis mount installation and PCB compatibility.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between equivalent parts?

A: Yes. The LNT2C103MSEN has 725 pieces in stock, while the LNT2C103MSE has 1044 pieces available. Both are new original stock. Selection may depend on immediate availability and project timeline requirements.
