In recent years, the increase of automotive onboard electronics being installed in close proximity to the engine compartment necessitates that aluminum electrolytic capacitors be extremely heat resistant.NICHICON CORPORATION developed aluminum electrolytic capacitors with an operating temperature of up to 150°C and rated life of 2,000 hours to handle extreme heat environments.

The new products will be exhibited at CEATEC 2019, held at Makuhari Messe from Tuesday, October 15, to Friday, October 18.

Overview and Development Background
Previously, NICHICON had launched the UBC series (guaranteed operation for 1,000 hours at 150°C). The new products (150°C; 2,000 hours) developed this time increase the life while offering low ESR.

The new products are expected to contribute to higher performance and longer life in a variety of applications in extremely high-temperature environments that our current lineup is unable to withstand.

Features
 In addition to improvements in materials and the manufacturing process, the new products achieve a rated operating temperature of 150°C and low ESR from the use of a low evaporation, low-resistance electrolyte. The products have the longest rated life of 2,000 hours for capacitors sized φ8 and φ10 along with guaranteed low ESR at low temperature. Using 150°C, 2,000-hour rated aluminum electrolytic capacitors can contribute to miniaturization and reduce production costs since they offer up to 1.5 times the capacitance of the existing 150°C-rated UBC series.
