NICHICON Develops the GYB Series of Conductive Polymer Hybrid Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors Guaranteed to 10,000 Hours at 105°C

2017-10-18 | Return

NICHICON CORPORATION has developed the GYB series of conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors, which are guaranteed to 10,000 hours at 105°C. This new series is a high temperature, long life and high ripple current product, that was developed in response to demands for higher-performance aluminum electrolytic capacitors. This new series is ideal for use in consumer electronics and industrial machinery applications.

The product will be on display at CEATEC JAPAN 2017, taking place at Makuhari Messe from Tuesday to Thursday, October 3 to 6.

Overview/Development Background

NICHICON launched the GYA series of conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors (guaranteed to 4,000 hours at 125°C) for use in the automotive onboard electronics and industrial machinery fields. However, demand is also increasing in the consumer electronics field for products that offer higher performance and an extended life. By developing the GYB series, NICHICON now offers a product that is ideal for applications that call for higher performance and extended lifespans, such as consumer electroncis.

Characteristics

Conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors use conductive polymers and electrolytes for the electrolyte. This takes advantage of the conductive polymers’ characteristics of low-ESR performance and high heat resistance. The electrolyte also functions in oxide layer repair.

The GYB series takes the design concepts of the previously released GYA series, optimizing the film formation process of the conductive polymer and using an electrolyte with good affinity to conductive polymers. As a result, the GYB series offers 1.2 to 1.4 times higher ripple tolerance than the GYA series. The lifespan has also been extended, being guaranteed to 10,000 hours in a 105°C environment.
