Sanyo -> Suncon by SUNELEC

Hi technician,

I'll advise you that a couple of days ago I ordered some
Sanyo aluminum electrolytic capacitors from Austria.

Surprise!

The capacitor arrived are SUNCON ( produced by SUNELEC ).

I immediately search in this site if anyone know this brand,
but at the moment there are few results and sometimes the site give a:
"No result" answer.

So I surfed the net until I found Suncon website, and I discovered
this usefull information:

1969 "Established Yamaguchi Sanyo Industries Co., Ltd. (currently Shimonoseki Plant).
Started to produce TV tuners
Constructed the Masuda Plant and started to produce Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors."


To be precise that's what I ordered:

Sanyo 25ME100AX ( ME-AX series )

Sanyo 50ME100WX ( ME-WX series )

...and that's what arrived:

SUNCON S.E.05 ( ME-AX series )

SUNCON S.E.90 WX ( ME-WX series )


I also ordered Sanyo OS-CON, and they remain with Sanyo brand.

Here is Sanyo website, you will find POSCAP and OS-CON:

Yeah, Sanyo sold their wet electrolytics production to SUNELEC some time ago, they continue only with polymers.

There are several threads discussing this going back nearly 2 years.

...and more correctly, Suncon MADE Sanyo's electrolytics prior to the sell off.
