It was something I have never though of before. Makes you wonder if any "antifreeze" types of electrolytes have been researched. Probably so.

    I have been trusting Japanese quality brands of electrolytics for a long time. Japanese electronics made as far back as the 70's still have good capacitors in them and they don't seem to need replacement, even though some people habitually do so out of worry. The capacitors that I do fear are ones made in China, or Chinese made fake copies of Japanese capacitors.

    The polymer electrolyte capacitors do contain electrolyte (it's right there in the name), it's just a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid one. Technically, they're all "aluminum" capacitors as well (the electrodes are aluminum, and the dielectric is a layer of aluminum oxide).

    Thank you very much for the very instructive video. I should learn more about the technology inside electrolytic capacitors.
    What caught my attention were the pliers at 4:29. When I worked in Japan at a company with enough budget a local college bought very cheap pliers and he said it was just a cheap occasion. They got rusty after just a short time and I asked him to let me try to polish them and give them a little oil. He said he could throw they away any time, they were just cheap. We agreed to make the experiment and they looked better afterwards and were kept.
    Just a personal memory inside the very valuable lesson about maybe the best capacitors and their different types.

  • @ats89117

    I'm surprised that Chemi-Con changed their name and logo. As an old timer, they will always be Nippon Chemi-Con to me, but younger engineers may not realize that these are highest quality Japanese capacitors rather than lower quality knock-offs...

    • @BlondieSL
      @BlondieSL Před 11 měsíci +5

      Same here. I don't understand what the reasoning behind the name change/modification is.
      "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
      I sure hope that the quality isn't also reduced going forward.

    • @Knaeckebrotsaege
      @Knaeckebrotsaege Před 10 měsíci +5

      Similar thing happened with Sanyo. They've spun off their capacitor business into a separate company 10+ years ago. The name and logo changed (now Suncon), the caps stayed the same (ie they kept the same series with the same specs in production). Nice side effect: the chinese fakers still don't seem to have gotten the memo yet, so they still happily print SANYO on their fake WG series (or whatever) caps. At least this makes it super easy to spot fakes (if the abysmal print quality, wrong top vent and circular rubber bung aren't enough of a giveaway)
