Nippon Chemi-Con announces it has developed new voltage ranges (400V to 450V) and new sizes (⌀30×65L to ⌀35×80Lmm) to expand the production selection of the KHU Series (guaranteed for 3,000 hours at 105℃) and the LHU Series (guaranteed for 5,000 hours at 105℃) of Snap-in Type Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors. These capacitors are for power supply input smoothing and contribute to reduced size and increased endurance for switching PSU and general use invertors.


Snap-in type aluminum electrolytic capacitors are mainly used in the smoothing circuits of devices such as switching PSU. In recent years, the market has seen increased demand for higher capacitance for large-sized products used in server PSU due to an increase in designs that use single product with a height of 65mm or more that is horizontally positioned and that use mainly 450V. They have worked to develop products that respond to the demands of these PSU devices.


For the voltage range (added 400V to 450V), they have achieved increased endurance (3,000 to 5,000 hours guaranteed) without any significant changes in product characteristics compared to the KHE Series, the existing product that is guaranteed for 2,000 hours at 105℃.


They also are planning to add the size range of 65L to 80Lmm to their catalog. This surpasses the catalog standard size and represents the first time these sizes will be added to a catalog in industry.

Technical Features

  • Increased voltage range: They extended the product lifetime through the optimal selection of high-capacitance electrode foil developed in-house.

  • Increased size range: They achieved higher reliability (increased vibration resistance) by optimizing the element structure.
