Sanyo Electric

SanyoSANYO is a leading innovative company. They pride themselves on being at the forefront of capacitor technology and are constantly striving to deliver better and superior products.

SANYO is known for its expertise in production of SMD low ESR capacitors.
This is complimented by its top 3 share in automotive business for SMD type capacitors. Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd. was a Japanese company that has been involved in the manufacturing of various electronic products, including capacitors. Capacitors are electronic components that store and release electrical energy in a circuit. They come in various types, such as electrolytic capacitors, ceramic capacitors, and tantalum capacitors, each with its own characteristics and applications.

The product quality and organisation strategy is geared from the stringent and precise requirements of automotive applications. Some assets are:

Sanyo CapacitorsLong life, high reliability and high temperature
High lead-free re flow capability
Anti-vibration technology
0-defect approach
Strong local support for product customisation and shortest response time
Global operations and conditions

Applications:

Sanyo capacitors are commonly used in power supply circuits of electronic devices, where stable voltage regulation and filtering are critical. They may be found in a variety of applications, including telecommunications equipment, computers, audio equipment, and more.

On November 2, 2008, Sanyo and Panasonic announced that they have agreed on the main points of a proposed buyout that would make Sanyo a subsidiary of

Panasonic

. By March 2012, parent company Panasonic plans to terminate the Sanyo brand, however it will remain on some of the products where the Sanyo brand still holds value to consumers.

OSCON capacitorsOSCON is a brand of capacitors manufactured by Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd. These capacitors are known for their characteristics and are often used in electronic applications. OSCON capacitors are a type of solid electrolytic capacitor, and they are particularly recognized for their low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple current capabilities. These features make them suitable for applications where stable and efficient performance is crucial, such as power supply circuits in electronic devices.

OSCON capacitors Characteristics:

  1. Low ESR:
    Equivalent series resistance is a critical parameter in capacitors, especially in power supply applications. Low ESR allows for efficient filtering and helps maintain stable voltage levels in circuits.

  2. High Ripple Current:
    Ripple current is the AC component of current in a circuit, and high ripple current capability is essential in applications with varying loads. OSCON capacitors are designed to handle high ripple currents effectively.

  3. Solid Electrolyte:
    Unlike traditional electrolytic capacitors that use liquid electrolytes, OSCON capacitors use a solid conductive polymer electrolyte. This design contributes to stable and reliable performance.

  4. Long Life:
    Solid electrolytic capacitors often exhibit longer operational life compared to traditional electrolytic capacitors.
