Manufacturers of aluminum electrolytic capacitors in the Chinese mainland are pushing production and R&D efforts in response to rising demand for chip and solid types. They are continuing with miniaturization and foresee an increase of shipments in the coming years. Available SMD units are in 3, 4, 5, 6.3, 8, 10, 12.5mm and bigger sizes.
Solid capacitors, which use a polymer instead of liquid dielectric material, are expected to become more popular in the years ahead. These have high reliability owing to low-ESR and high-rated ripple current performance, and a long operating life. However, only a few Chinese suppliers, such as Zhangjiagang Epectrum, currently offer them.
Typical selections usually consist of lead, chip, snap-in and screw-terminal kinds for various applications. The range of specifications includes 6.3 to 500V rated voltage, less than 0.5mA leakage current, -40 to 85 C or -40 to 105 C operating temperature and 1,000 to 8,000-hour life span. Products are RoHS-compliant and have CQC, cUL, UL and VDE certifications.
Manufacturers obtain materials from domestic sources, switching to foreign companies as required. The closure of small aluminum foil factories in the past two years due to environmental concerns resulted in fluctuating costs for the material. Despite this, suppliers kept product prices stable and have no plans to increase them in 2021.
