NICHICON Launches UYA Series of Chip-Type Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors Guaranteed for 5,000 Hours at 125°C

2021-10-13 | Return

NICHICON CORPORATION has launched the UYA series of chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitors. The series boasts high temperature resistance and long life, making it ideal for 5G base station applications.

The new products will be exhibited at CEATEC 2021 ONLINE from Tuesday,October 19, to Friday, October 22.

Overview and Development Background

Providing widespread 5G coverage requires more base stations than was the case with 4G/LTE. 5G base stations are typically installed in urban areas with limited space or in locations where maintenance is difficult. Base stations will need to be smaller through high-density mounting and more reliable (maintenance-free) through fanless mounting and other techniques. For this reason, base stations call for miniaturized mounted components that have high temperature resistance and long life. NICHICON has launched the UYA series of
chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitors guaranteed for 5,000 hours at 125°C in response to these market needs.

Features

In designing the UYA series, NICHICON used a low-evaporation electrolyte to achieve a longer product life than was previously available. Adopting the series enables the optimization of products’ internal specifications, which saves space for other necessary components. With an optimally shaped seating plate, the series also provides excellent solderability. The UYA series makes it possible to meet the demand for long-life in 5G base station components.
