Panasonic Commercializes Conductive Polymer Hybrid Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors with the Industry's Largest Ripple Current

Panasonic Corporation announced today that its Industrial Solutions Company has commercialized new conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors, the large-current ZU series, and large-capacitance ZSU series for use in automotive ECUs (electronic control units) [1]. Mass production will start in December 2020. The new ZU series has achieved ripple current*1 of over 1.4 times as large as the conventional ZS series (ϕ10 x 12.5 mm and ϕ10 x 16.5 mm), supporting increases in circuit load current due to high performance automotive ECUs and contributing to smaller automotive ECUs through a reduction in the number of required capacitors.
