Panasonic Industry introduces new ZSU series of Electrolytic Polymer Hybrid Capacitors type – standing out with a capacitance increase of 80% in comparison to the recent ZS series.

Reliability, efficiency, performance – this triad of automotive engineering applies in particular to the crucial components a modern car consists of.

And there is an increasing number of them, as the level of comfort, functionality and safety is increasing with every new car generation.

Acknowledging those prevalent industry trends, Panasonic Industry has developed its popular ZS series with outstanding successors – such as the ZSU series, that comes with an almost unrivalled capacitance.

“The ZSU series takes our capacitance specs for Hybrid caps to an entire new level”, says Yusuke Nagata from Panasonic Industry Europe. “For a diameter of 10 x 12.5 mm with 25V.DC we achieve 680µF for the 10 x 16.5mm equivalent 1000µF.”

Moreover, the ZSU Hybrids reveal a 4,000 hours temperature endurance at 125℃ – and thus one of the highest tolerance currently available in the industry.

Speaking of tough conditions “under the hood” or elsewhere in industrial environments, Panasonic Industry offers vibration proof versions for 6mm diameter or above, withstanding shocks of as much as 30G.

The ZSU series is currently available in 25~63V.DC/120~1000µF – and an interesting option wherever high temperature and next-gen capacitance is the criterion of choice. That would be – first and foremost – many automotive 48V applications such as oil pumps, EPS, e-compressors or ADAS applications. The latest capacitor innovation of course is AEC-Q200 compliant.

“Components serving their functional purpose immaculately under severe automotive conditions are also often the perfect choice for other fields of applications”, points out Yusuke Nagata. And indeed: When looking at a suitable capacitor for base station power supply, industrial motor inverters or contemporary communication devices, ZSU series is definitely worth a closer look.
