High Energy Capacitors

Series C Energy Storage High Voltage Capacitors
10 kV - 100 kV     3 µF - 830 µF     35 nH - 100 nH

Energy storage high voltage capacitors in welded metal cans for industrial and R&D applications. Standard ratings up to 100 kV with low inductance, high peak current capability and low profile bushings.

Capacitor Specifications

Series CMF - High Energy Density Capacitors
5.65 kV - 26 kV     255 µF - 9500 µF     150 nH - 800 nH

Self-healing metallized electrode energy storage capacitors in welded metal cans, designed for millisecond discharge for industrial and R&D applications. These capacitors have higher energy densities than Series C capacitors, but are limited in peak current and voltage capability. Standard ratings to 26 kV and 200 kJ.

Capacitor Specifications

Series DE High Voltage Pulse Discharge Capacitors
5.0 kV - 50 kV     0.007 µF - 2.0 µF     20 nH - 90 nH

Double-ended plastic case extended foil high voltage capacitors with low loss dielectric, rated from 5 to 50 kV, with inductances less than 100 nH. These custom designs have been widely used in industrial applications.

Capacitor Specifications

Metallized Pulse Discharge Capacitors

Series DM Metallized Capacitors
1.0 kV - 3.0 kV     25 µF - 750 µF     0.8 kA - 11.6 kA

Self-healing metallized high voltage capacitor technology in drawn metal cans for laser markets. Designed for industrial OEM rep-rate applications up to 3.0 kV.

Drawn Metal Can Capacitors

Series DP General Purpose Pulse Capacitors
2 kV - 15 kV     2 µF - 185 µF     50 nH - 170 nH

Extended foil capacitors designed for general purpose pulse applications for lasers, flash lamps and other capacitor discharge circuits where moderate to long life is required. If the capacitor you are looking for isn't listed, we can provide a custom designed capacitor.

Capacitor Specifications

Defibrillator Capacitors

Series DQ Defibrillator Capacitors
2.1 kV - 5.5 kV     32 µF - 196 µF     Ipk 300 A

Custom metallized film capacitor technology in drawn metal cans and insulating cases for cardiac defibrillators. Oval and cylindrical configurations available.

Capacitor Specifications

Series PDS/PDSS Fast Pulse Capacitors
100 kV     8 nF - 100 nF     8 nH - 13 nH     ESR 0.06 W- 0.13 W

Double-ended plastic case capacitors with output terminal rails, internally configured for very low inductance, sub-microsecond pulse risetime capability up to 100 kV. The axial terminal arrangement is a better alternative to our Series S/SS single-ended designs for some pulse power circuit configurations.
