Panasonic Industry Europe has announced substantial improvements in its hybrid capacitor production capacity, which it says further solidifies its leadership position, particularly in the high-volume commodity segment of 6x6mm and larger, as well as in the more specialized 10x10mm and above range.
Hybrid capacitor technology
Panasonic recognizes that hybrid capacitors represent a significant future trend and growing market demand. These components effectively combine the benefits of aluminium electrolytic and specialty polymer capacitors, resulting in high endurance, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and impressive tolerance for ripple and inrush currents, even in elevated temperature conditions.
With their stable electrical performance at high frequencies, Panasonic’s hybrid capacitors ensure maximum reliability across a wide range of applications. Additionally, their compact design is said to allow for considerable space savings on circuit boards.
Strengthened market leadership
In response to current industry trends, Panasonic is implementing a multi-site production strategy (Business Continuity Plan) in Malaysia, resulting in a significant increase in capacity, particularly as regards the compact sizes of ø 6x6mm and ø 10x10mm and larger, as exemplarily demonstrated in the table.
According to Panasonic Industry: “This strategic advancement not only strengthens the company’s No. 1 position in the market but also extends its technological leadership by introducing hybrid cap series, that offer the highest ripple current capabilities and the largest capacitance in compact case sizes.”
The company continues: “With this particular strategic attention Panasonic continues to set the standard for performance and reliability in hybrid capacitors, meeting the evolving needs of the industry.”
