Aluminum electrolytic capacitors manufacturers in China invest in product development to realize smaller and alternative kinds.

High capacitance and reliability remain priorities in the production of conventional aluminum electrolytic capacitors in China, while makers keep up with miniaturization and upgrades. More companies are looking to introduce additional SMD or chip models, especially in anticipation of an increase in demand.

A number of suppliers are also pursuing the development of solid variants, which are known for having no leakage, and low ESR under high temperature, frequency and voltage, besides a long operating life. One companies that has started offering such types is Zhuhai Headcon, whose VPZ series has a capacitance ranging from 10 to 3,900µF, and a life span of 2,000 hours at 105 C. The SMD unit comes in 5x6mm, 6.3x6mm, 6.3x9mm, 8x9mm, 8x11.8mm and 10x12.7mm variants.

Mainstream DIP and SMD aluminum electrolytic capacitors come in versions with 0.1 to 10,000µF capacitance range, ±5, ±10 and ±20 percent tolerance, 6.3 to 400V rated voltage and -55 to 105 C operating temperature. These have a life span of 1,000, 2,000 or 3,000 hours at 105 C, and meet CE, RoHS and UL requirements. The key applications are home appliances, computers and peripherals, mobile electronics, communications and industrial equipment, and in the automotive, aerospace and military fields.

Materials and components such as aluminum foil, cases, covers, electrolytic paper and electrolytes are all sourced locally, with makers turning to foreign providers only as required. Input costs did not fluctuate much in the past six months, but the price of aluminum electrolytic capacitors dropped significantly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prices are expected to stabilize in the next six months.

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.
