Nichicon

If a power supply has a ripple spec, there is a good chance a Nichicon capacitor is sitting on that output rail. The Kyoto-based manufacturer defined the aluminum electrolytic category with industry-first water-based electrolytes and has pushed the temperature envelope—their UBC series SMD aluminum electrolytics operate at 150 degrees Celsius, and their UCH conductive polymer hybrids deliver 4,000 hours at 135 degrees Celsius for automotive powertrain duty. Beyond electrolytics, Nichicon's FPCAP polymer solid capacitors and xEV film capacitors address high-frequency, low-ESR demands. For our distribution desk, Nichicon sourcing focuses on high-temperature, long-life series—UHE, UHW, LGU, and GYA being the repeat callouts.
