New Product

May 31, 2011, Osaka, Japan-Panasonic Electronic Devices Co., Ltd. has succeeded in commercializing the surface-mount type “Specialty hybrid aluminum electrolytic-capacitor “,which combines the advantages of aluminum electrolytic capacitors and specialty hybrid aluminum electrolytic-capacitors as a capacitor for smoothing power supply used in DC-DC converter circuits and the switching power supply circuits, and will start mass production.

Product name	Specialty hybrid aluminum electrolytic-capacitor
Series name	V type ZA series
Production start	June 2011
Sample price	100 yen/piece and over
Production capacity	2 million pieces/month

With compactness and higher-performance of a variety of devices, aluminum electrolytic capacitors used for smoothing the power supply have been strongly required to have low ESR characteristics (equivalent series resistance) as well as low leakage current properties. To meet the market demand, Panasonic Electronic Devices Co., Ltd. has developed a new hybrid technology employing new materials to commercialize "pecialty hybrid aluminum electrolytic-capacitor" ,which combines the low ESR characteristics equivalent to specialty polymer capacitors and the low leakage current characteristics equivalent to aluminum electrolytic capacitors. We will answer our customers' request.
