    New Low Z Series from Nichicon

    PA Series datasheet. This may be getting into the realm of, "How cool is that?" As the series name suggests, this is a "non-aqueous" electrolyte series. Its impedance ratings are slightly better than Nichicon's "aqueous" HE (or UCC's KY) series, and its ripple current ratings are only slightly lower. The impedance ratings are 10%-25% lower than the PW series. These comparisons are for 35V parts with the same can size. OTOH, PA is rated for 5,000 hours, while the PW for 8,000 hours and the HE for 10,000 hours. It looks like the ancient PS (lead-free PR) and PM (lead-free PL) series will soldier on, as these are still in Nichicon's 2007 paper catalog. No new aqueous series in that catalog.

    also check out the Nichicon LE and LF polymer series

      Those also are new in the 2007 Nichicon catalog. Unfortunately for my purposes, the through-hole polymer series only goes up the 16V. The venerable PJ series is also still in the catalog. I'm wondering what UCC might soon have in response to Nichicon's PA series. And from BadCaps members' POV, I wonder how soon this/these new series will become available thru disties like D-K.

        Awesome.. Hopefully we'll see some soon.. I need to restock my cap selection anyway.. I bought a bunch of Nichicon PW's about two years ago.. And i've been recycling good caps from otherwise dead boards..

          Excellent life time for PA series. ESR quite high about 450% higher than Samxon GA series (3300u 6.3V sample).

            The PA series, like the PW, PS, PM and PJ uses a "non-aqueous" electrolyte. The GA series probably uses an "aqueous" electrolyte, much like Nichicon's HN or HZ series, which are of the ultra-low Z type. If you have an application for which "aqueous" electrolyte technology is unsuitable, PW, FC and LXZ have been the best available; the PA series looks like it raises the bar.

              Speaking of recent series, UCC has:

              KZH - 6K hours; lower Z, higher ripple current than KZE series; datasheet in 2006 paper and online catalogs

              KZM - 8K and 10K hours; lower Z, higher ripple current than KY series; datasheet in online catalog only

              KZJ - similar to HN; datasheet in 2006 paper and online catalogs

              KZV - lower Z than KZJ; mentioned in paper and online catalogs, but both reference Engineering Bulletin 756

              I may be coming into a 2007 UCC catalog soon, so I'll come back to this thread if I do and there's anything new/cool

                Capacitor Diarrhea - Nichicon PL Series
                by DrewPhillips
                Hello All, I have on the bench a couple of PSU's which have some failed Nichicon PL series caps. They didn't "puke" their guts through the top, but instead "diarrhea'ed" corrosive brown electrolyte through the bottom, down the legs and onto the board. On one cap, the electrolyte rotted the cap right off the board leaving 2 little stubs, and also corroded a trace on the foil side.

                The PSU's are Power-One MAP series and are ringing-choke topology. The semiconductors have date codes in 1993. The PSU's were used in a commercial application, fan-cooled. They had failed...

                Is there datasheet for nichicon LXJ series?
                by chth96
                I want to calculate capacitor ESR referring to below guide.

                https://forum.digikey.com/t/calculat...-from-tan/2633


                I must find out dissipation factor(Tan(δ)) for nichicon lxj series(6.3v 1500uf,25v 1000uf ,10v 2200uf)
                I finally found out datasheet which has all series of nichicon capacitor.But unfortunately, It removed old nichicon capacitor.
                Is there anyone who still has old nichicon datasheet which has information of LXJ series?

                Is there any datasheet for nichicon RT(M) series?
                by chth96
                A few days ago,I destroyed one of my japanese retro game console by pluging it to 220v outlet.
                https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...e-been-blew-up

                and I finally fixed​ this retro game console by soldering varistor and glass fuse.

                But I noticed that When I measure voltage of PSU's 5pin connector, it is 8.80-9.07v, 5.13v,3.40-3.48v,GND,GND instead of its rated voltage of 9v 5v 3v GND GND.
