As people’s demand for smart homes continues to increase, the energy efficiency requirements for smart home appliances are becoming more and more stringent. Against this background, the European Union has promulgated new standards starting in May 2025, requiring that the power consumption of most home appliances sold must be less than 300mW in standby mode, which is significantly lower than the current 500mW limit. At the same time, Power Integrations’ LinkSwitch-XT2SR non-isolated flyback switch IC has also attracted much attention for its high efficiency and low power consumption. The no-load power consumption is less than 5mW, and it can provide power to the load within the specified 300mW input power range. Up to 250mW output power. Under this new energy efficiency standard, YMIN capacitors have obvious advantages as a choice of peripheral components. Their low power consumption, high stability and other characteristics will become a key supporter of energy efficiency upgrades for smart home appliances.
First of all, YMIN capacitors are known for their low leakage current characteristics. Leakage current is a tiny current in the dielectric inside a capacitor that usually results in a loss of energy. However, YMIN capacitors can control the leakage current below 20uA, greatly reducing the static power consumption of the system. In application scenarios that have strict requirements on power consumption, such as smart locks and building automation, the low power consumption characteristics of YMIN capacitors will provide a strong guarantee for battery life and maintenance-free requirements. For example, YMIN’s polymer solid aluminum electrolytic capacitor products can achieve miniaturization, large capacity, stability and reliability in a wide temperature range, such as lead type NPM, NPL, NPX, and chip type VPX, VPL , its low leakage current design makes it particularly suitable for smart home appliances and other applications that require long-term low-power standby.
Secondly, the stability of YMIN capacitors is also favored. For long-term energy storage needs, such as home appliances, stability is crucial. YMIN capacitors can remain stable for up to 24 months, which not only helps extend the service life of the system, but also improves the reliability of the entire system. For example, YMIN’s polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor products are also small and large-capacity products. Their strong durability can better meet the low power consumption requirements and battery life of the entire machine in standby mode. For example, the chip-type VHM, VGY series, and lead-type NGY series have no obvious performance degradation within 24 months, ensuring the long-term reliable operation of home appliances. In addition, its stability also makes the selection of other peripheral components more convenient, while also allowing a certain degree of fault tolerance, improving the reliability of the entire system.
To sum up, YMIN capacitors, with their low power consumption and high stability, complement the new EU standards and advanced IC technology, providing strong support for the energy efficiency upgrade of smart home appliances. In the future development, YMIN Capacitor will continue to give full play to its advantages and help the smart home appliance industry move towards a more intelligent, energy-saving and environmentally friendly development direction. With the continuous expansion of the smart home appliance market and the continuous improvement of intelligence, YMIN Capacitor will surely become the leader of the industry and inject new impetus into the development of smart homes.
