Sanyo OS-CON
What is OS-CON?
Sanyo OS-CON is an electrolytic capacitor unlike other electrolytics. While the rest uses eletrolytic solution and manganese dioxide as eletrolyte, OS-CON uses a high conductivity organic semiconductor. Organic SemiCONductor, get it?
What is great about using organic semiconductor?
OS-CON
has almost the same construction as an aluminium electrolytic capacitor,
and the element consists of rolled aluminium foils.
The
difference between OS-CON and other aluminium
electrolytics is that organic semiconductor crystal is impregnated instead of
conventional electrolyte solution.
As a result, we are talking of Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) that approaches that of film capacitors.
Impedance frequency characteristic of OS-CON compared to other types of capacitors. OS-CON shows a nearly ideal curve. At 100kHz, note that OS-CON 47uF has nearly the same ESR as a low impedance aluminium eletrolytic capacitor of 100uF.
This means that at this frequency, the 47uF OS-CON IS AS EFFECTIVE AT REMOVING RIPPLES AS EXPENSIVE LOW IMPEDANCE ALUMUMINIUM ELECTROLYTICS OF 100UF.
