Power Supply & Lighting
Nichicon produces capacitors that support stable energy conversion and efficient operation in power supply and lighting systems. Our products are used in household appliances, PCs, and high-efficiency lighting fixtures to ensure consistent, high-quality performance.
Power supply and lighting systems require capacitors that can handle high frequencies, temperature fluctuations, and long service lives. Nichicon meets these demands with low-ESR, high-reliability capacitors that maintain long-lasting performance under continuous electrical stress and thermal cycling.
The demand for energy-efficient lighting and compact power supplies is growing. We are responding with innovative solutions optimized for miniaturization, low impedance, and longevity for smarter, more sustainable power management systems.
Innovative Capacitors for Long-Lasting and Reliable Power and Lighting
Nichicon’s aluminum electrolytic capacitors offer high performance and energy efficiency over long lifespans.
Reliable energy conversion starts with high-performance capacitors. Nichicon products support consistent output in demanding power and lighting environments.
Features
Nichicon designs and manufactures aluminum electrolytic capacitors with the following features ideal for power supply and lighting applications.
We offer long-life options ideal for lighting applications. Our ULD series of miniature capacitors is guaranteed for 20,000 hours, effectively doubling the lifespan of LED lighting compared to the earlier UCY series.
We offer a variety of low-profile capacitors. Our low-profile snap-in terminal capacitors (LGG, LGL, LGJ, and LGJ(15) series) and miniature capacitors deliver high capacitance in small packages, useful in appliances like TVs and refrigerators.
Nichicon manufactures capacitors with safety features to reduce risk and increase safety when voltage is unstable or overvoltage is anticipated. Our UAS, UTF, and UAQ series of capacitors are designed to handle extreme voltage spikes and improve safety in the event of DC overvoltages. Our LAW, LAR, and LGA series reduce risk of shorts in periods of overvoltage and are optimal in areas where power sources are unstable.
Our high ripple current capacitors, such as the LGW series snap-in and the UCA, UCS, and UCP series miniature capacitors, allow for a reduction of the number of capacitors needed in your design. The high ripple rating, compact size, and low-loss characteristics of these capacitors make them ideal for use in air conditioners.
We offer a variety of capacitors with greater electrode surface area and lower loss of electrolytic fluid/paper for greatly reduced impedance. Available in miniature (UHE, UHW, UPA, UPW), chip-type (UUD, UCM, UCL, UCD), and conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic (PCJ, PCK, RL8, RS8) forms, these solutions are ideal for precision products such as PCs and gaming consoles.
