Nichicon has expanded its European distribution of hybrid aluminium electrolytic capacitors with the ADN suffix, making a wide range of automotive-grade components available across the EMEA region. The move gives engineers easier access to capacitors designed for long-term reliability under real-world operating stress.
Designed for Demanding Environments
The ADN marking appears on selected Nichicon hybrids that meet automotive-grade specifications. These parts are part of the company’s broader Hybrid Capacitor Series, combining the stability of aluminium electrolytics with the low ESR performance of conductive polymers. That combination makes them well suited to harsh environments where electrical stability, thermal resilience, and long operating life are essential.
Each capacitor in the ADN group has been developed for use in systems where failure is not an option, such as engine control units, braking modules, and onboard power regulation, to name a few. Beyond automotive, these parts are also a good fit for industrial machinery, computing platforms, and white goods where lifetime performance matters.
ADN Designation Covers Multiple Series
The ADN identifier spans nine different series in the Nichicon portfolio:
GYA, GYB, GYC, GYD, GYE, GYF, GYG, GXC, and GWC
Each line offers different combinations of voltage, capacitance, and case size to meet diverse system requirements. All ADN parts carry automotive qualifications, and their construction is intended to minimise degradation over time in electrically and thermally stressful applications.
The announcement currently covers availability across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Nichicon notes that distribution in Asia and North America will be confirmed at a later date.
