NICHICON Develops and Launches the GXC Series ofConductive Polymer Hybrid Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitorswith High Ripple Current (Guaranteed for 4,000 hours at 135°C)
NICHICON CORPORATION has developed and launched the GXC series of highly heat-resistant conductive
polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors. The GXC series has excellent high ripple current and low ESR
performance. Characteristics which are increasingly required in the automotive and telecommunications fields.
NICHICON will exhibit this product at the Automotive Engineering Exposition 2024 to be held at PACIFICO
Yokohama from May 22 to 24.

Overview and Development Background
NICHICON previously launched the GYC series (guaranteed for 4,000 hours at 135°C or 125°C) and otherproducts that enable higher heat resistance and higher ripple current than the conductive polymer hybrid
aluminum electrolytic capacitors of the GYA series (guaranteed for 4,000 hours at 125°C). Nichicon introduced
these products to markets that demand high reliability, including the automotive, industrial equipment, andtelecommunications.
The GXC series achieves even higher ripple current than the GYC series, and is expected to contribute toreductions in the weight and size through the use of fewer capacitors. these reductions contribute to even higherperformance.

Features
Conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors use both conductive polymers and electrolytic
solutions for electrolytes. Combining the two types of electrolytes means the GXC series has characteristics ofboth aluminum electrolytic capacitors (oxide film repair) and conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic
capacitors (low ESR performance and high heat resistance).
The GXC series achieves 1.3 to 2.1 times higher ripple current than the GYC series by using an optimized
electrode foil and highly heat-resistant sealing rubber, while maintaining the guaranteed life of previously
released series (guaranteed for 4,000 hours at 135°C or 125°C).
This contributes to higher performance in circuits requiring higher ripple current and miniaturization in circuits
requiring fewer capacitors.
