Capacitor production in Japan

Are there any well-known Japanese solid capacitors?

There are four well-known Japanese solid capacitor brands: [...] Why are Japanese solid capacitors the best choice? 1. Ultra long lifespan 2. Vastly improved stability at high temperature

Why is Japan called the domain of the capacitor market?

Last but not least, the Japanese government is directly and publicly involved in funding new energy industries and research for passive components development which lend an air of legitimacy and prestige to all Japanese technology/component manufacturers. This is why Japan has even been called the domain of the capacitor market by some.

Are Japanese capacitors better than Chinese capacitors?

This is also why Japanese capacitors are always preferred. However, there are two problems with using Japanese-made caps: their cost is higher and sometimes there are availability problems. Most PSU factories are located in China, so they have to import the capacitors from Japan, requiring additional time and shipping costs.

How do global manufacturers of ceramic capacitors save money?

Another method of cost-savings employed by global manufacturers of ceramic capacitors includes the intentional production of large volumes of ceramic chip capacitors in low-cost production regions of the world (Korea, Philippines, Thailand and China are good regional low-cost production bases for MLCCs).

What is the global capacitor industry?

The global capacitor industry – which for the purposes of this article includes ceramic, aluminum, tantalum and plastic film capacitors of all types and configurations – accounted for approximately $30 billion USD in global revenues for FY 2019 (ending March), with almost four trillion pieces shipped and two trillion pieces consumed.

Where are capacitors made?

On this list you will find capacitors made by some of the Taiwanese manufacturers, which often use factories in China. These caps perform well, so they are usually used in mid-level PSUs and sometimes even in high-end units, and they strike a balance between good performance and affordable prices.
