Condition of the 820uF 160V Nippon Chemi-Con SMG Electrolytic Capacitor (NOS): New Old Stock product. Although it does not include original packaging, the units have undergone a reforming process and verification with a digital capacitance meter to ensure they maintain ESR and capacitance within the original design parameters of the SMG series.
Brand History: Nippon Chemi-Con
Founded in 1931 in Japan, Nippon Chemi-Con is the world’s largest manufacturer of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. They were pioneers in the development of high-gain aluminum foils, allowing them to miniaturize components while maintaining high capacitance values. Choosing NCC means choosing a component designed under Japanese automotive and industrial standards, where the failure rate is significantly lower than that of generic brands.
Applications and Uses of the 820uF 160V Nippon Chemi-Con SMG Electrolytic Capacitor
This 160V capacitor is a critical component in:
Switched-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS): As a primary filtering capacitor in 110V/120V input power supplies.
High-Fidelity Audio: Used in the rectification stages of power amplifiers to reduce AC hum.
Inverters and UPS Systems: Voltage stabilization in backup power systems.
Industrial Repair: Direct replacement in CNC machinery, motor drivers, and older industrial power supplies where the 30 x 31 mm size is standard.
(FAQ)
Is It Safe to Use an “Old Stock” (NOS) Capacitor?
Yes. These components are stored in controlled environments. Before shipping, we verify each unit with a capacitance meter to ensure the 820uF value is accurate and fully functional.Can I Use It If My Original Capacitor Is Rated for 105°C?
This model is rated for 85°C. Its use is recommended in applications with adequate ventilation or where the original capacitor was also rated for 85°C.What Does “Negative Black” Mean?
It is a design nomenclature indicating that the black stripe on the sleeve marks the negative terminal of the component for safe installation.
