NICHICON Launches the GYE Series of High-Capacitance Conductive Polymer Hybrid Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

2021-06-23 | Return

NICHICON CORPORATION has launched the GYE series of high-capacitance conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors with high ripple current and low ESR performance, which are features increasingly demanded in automotive and telecommunications applications.

NICHICON will exhibit the series at TECHNO-FRONTIER 2021’s 36th Power System Japan Expo.

Overview and Development Background

NICHICON has introduced conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors such as GYA series (guaranteed for 4,000 hours at 125°C) and GYD series (guaranteed for 1,000 hours at 150°C) to markets where high reliability is required, such as automotive, industrial machinery, and telecommunications markets.

NICHICON has now launched the GYE series, which offers higher capacity than the GYA series in the same size capacitor. The GYE series will contribute to advancements in circuit design by reducing the number of capacitors, resulting in lighter and smaller units.

Features

Conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors use both conductive polymers and electrolytic solutions for electrolytes.Combining the two types of electrolytes means the GYE series has characteristics of both aluminum electrolytic capacitors and conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitors.

The GYE series achieves higher capacitance than the GYA series through the utilization of a high-capacitance anode foil and optimization of the electrolyte material.

Further, the GYE series retains the heat resistance and long life (guaranteed for 4,000 hours at 125°C) of the current GYA series in addition to moisture resistance (guaranteed 2,000 hours at 85°C and 85% RH). The rated ripple current is 1.25 times that of the GYA series.
