Passive Components


New film capacitor range

2 September 2009 Passive Components

Spectrum Advanced Specialty Products has introduced a complete line of film capacitors offering low inductance, low ESR and low DF while providing a high peak withstanding voltage.

Now a part of the company’s product offering for military and commercial power applications, Spectrum has been constructing film capacitors for their power filter designs for over 25 years. These film capacitors are manufactured by dry construction, which prevents harmful electrolytes from being formed. They are well suited for renewable energy inverters, radar systems, industrial welders, aircraft and high voltage power supplies.

The film capacitor line ranges from standard end wrap and fill, to completely custom film capacitors. They range in size from less than an inch to several feet, while the high capacitance density ranges from a few nanofarads to several hundred microfarads. The housings are available in steel, aluminium, stainless steel and plastics and package size is determined by the electrical requirements.

Spectrum’s film capacitors are designed for use in temperature ranges from


-55°C to +150°C, with an AC voltage rating to 750 V a.c. and a DC voltage rating to 20 000 V d.c. Dielectric materials include polypropylene, polyester (mylar) and polyphenylene sulphide (PPS), and custom terminations can include inserts, PCB mount, threads and leads.
