Typical China-made chip aluminum electrolytic capacitors come in as small as 0405 variants. Other materials and techniques are being considered to boost voltage and capacity.

For consumer electronics, industrial and special applications, mainstream DIP and SMD aluminum electrolytic capacitors in China have 6.3 to 400V rated voltage, 0.1 to 10,000µF capacitance range, ±20 percent tolerance and -55 to 105 C operating temperature. These come with a life span of 1,000, 2,000 or 3,000 hours at 105 C and meet CE, RoHS and UL requirements. Variants mainly used in mobile electronics, home appliances and computers account for more than 40 percent of total shipments. The other applications include industrial and communications equipment, wind turbines, automotive, aerospace and military.

Despite competition from film kinds, efforts in the line continue, focusing on trends for small size, and high voltage and capacity. This is seen to persist until 2020. In the chip types, suppliers emphasize those in 0405, 0504 and 0605 while sustaining production of larger sizes such as 0607, 0806, 0810, 1010, 1213, 1616 and 1621. Some are developing new materials and techniques for high-voltage and -capacity models. Nantong Sunion uses an in-house prepared electrolyte to ensure low current leakage and long operating life.

The main materials and components include aluminum foil and cases, covers, electrolytic paper and electrolytes. All are sourced locally, with makers turning to foreign companies only as required. The cost of inputs remained stable in the past year. It is expected to stay at current levels for the rest of 2019 and keep product prices steady.

The products in this gallery have been handpicked by our China-based market analyst for representing current trends in aluminum electrolytic capacitors from China makers.
