It has extended the product lineup to include the new SXV, SXE, and SVPG series. These capacitor families are designed for surface mount and radial lead applications, offering performance improvements that meet the evolving needs of industrial applications.

The OS-CON SXV (surface mount type) and SXE (radial lead type) series capacitors are engineered to deliver both durability and efficiency and feature equivalent series resistance (ESR) even at low temperatures. Both series boast a high-temperature endurance of 1,000 hours at 125°C and operate within a wide voltage range of 63V to 100V.

With enhancements to the aluminium foil, these capacitors offer a capacitance increase of up to 20% compared to competitors in the conductive polymer aluminium solid capacitor category. This advancement enables improved functionality and miniaturisation, making them suitable for high-density mounting in power supplies, solar inverters, measuring machines, servers, and base stations.

Complementing the SXV and SXE series, the OS-CON SVPG series introduces a line extension available in 20V and 25V ratings, designed for long life with an endurance of 5,000 hours at 105°C.

With the extended voltage range, the capacitor smooths 12-15V power lines that require high ripple current. The SVPG series is specifically formulated to provide low ESR and high ripple current handling, achieving an average ripple current increase of 1.37 times compared to competitors. This makes the SVPG series suitable for power supply circuits that require reliability under high ripple conditions.

The SVPG series is intended for a variety of applications, including industrial power supplies, AI accelerators, industrial automation, and data centres.

All new capacitors in the OS-CON lineup are halogen-free and RoHS compliant.
