NICHICON Introduces Hybrid Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors for Automotive and Telecommunications Applications
NICHICON Expands GYC Series with High Heat Resistant Capacitors for Demanding Applications
NICHICON Corporation, a leading manufacturer of electronic components, has expanded its popular GYC series of conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors. This expansion caters to the growing demand for high-performance capacitors in automotive and telecommunication applications.
Addressing the Need for High Reliability
NICHICON previously launched the GYC series, known for its exceptional heat resistance (guaranteed for 4,000 hours at 135°C or 125°C) and high ripple current capability. These features surpass traditional conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors (like the GYA series) and are ideal for applications requiring superior reliability, such as:
- Automotive electronics
- Industrial equipment
- Telecommunications systems
Introducing the New φ10 x 16.5L Size
The latest addition to the GYC series is the φ10 x 16.5L size, available in voltage ratings of 25 V, 35 V, 50 V, and 63 V. This expansion allows NICHICON to offer a wider range of capacitors to meet the diverse needs of modern electronics. The new size boasts several advantages:
- Increased Capacitance: Up to 1.5 times higher capacitance compared to the existing φ10 x 12.5L GYC series product.
- Enhanced Ripple Current: Delivers up to 1.4 times the ripple current handling capacity of other GYC series capacitors with the same guaranteed life.
These improvements contribute to the miniaturization of electronic circuits by reducing the overall number of capacitors required. Furthermore, the GYC series is perfectly suited for the growing trend of electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), where high capacitance and ripple current handling are crucial for optimal circuit performance.
Understanding the GYC Series Advantage
The GYC series utilizes a unique combination of conductive polymers and electrolytic solutions for its electrolyte system. This hybrid approach merges the benefits of both:
- Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors: Offer the ability to self-repair the oxide film, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitors: Provide low ESR (equivalent series resistance) performance and exceptional heat resistance.
