Capacitor Technologies for Demanding Power Applications

Aluminum electrolytic, conductive polymer and supercapacitor technologies for power, industrial and automotive applications.

Capacitor System

Energy storage, ripple handling and lifetime

Capacitors operate under electrical and thermal stresses that influence system stability and service life. MarlinTek's approved Nippon Chemi-Con portfolio covers aluminum electrolytic, conductive polymer and supercapacitor technologies.

Aluminum electrolytic

The approved portfolio includes radial, SMD, snap-in and screw-terminal formats. Selection depends on voltage, capacitance, ripple current, temperature, physical envelope and expected lifetime.

Conductive polymer

Conductive polymer solid capacitors can be relevant where low ESR and high-frequency characteristics are important.

Supercapacitors

Supercapacitor technologies address applications requiring high-energy storage characteristics and should be evaluated according to voltage, energy, cycle and thermal requirements.

Reliability and lifetime

MarlinTek's reliability capability includes E-cap lifetime calculation using operating ripple current, temperature and rated-temperature information.
