Nichicon GXC series

NICHICON CORPORATION as developed and launched the GXC series of highly heat-resistant conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors. The GXC series has excellent high ripple current and low ESR performance. Characteristics which are increasingly required in the automotive and telecommunications fields.

NICHICON exhibited this product at the Automotive Engineering Exposition 2024 to be held at PACIFICO Yokohama from May 22 to 24.

Features

Conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors use both conductive polymers and electrolytic solutions for electrolytes. Combining the two types of electrolytes means the GXC series has characteristics of both aluminum electrolytic capacitors (oxide film repair) and conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitors (low ESR performance and high heat resistance).

The GXC series achieves 1.3 to 2.1 times higher ripple current than the GYC series by using an optimized electrode foil and highly heat-resistant sealing rubber, while maintaining the guaranteed life of previously released series (guaranteed for 4,000hours at 135°C or 125°C).

This contributes to higher performance in circuits requiring higher ripple current and miniaturization in circuits requiring fewer capacitors.
