Film Capacitors

Tips & Advice to help you make your decision on Film Capacitors

There are many different types of film capacitors available, ranging from metallized polyester and polycarbonate to polystyrene and polypropylene. Each different type has its own benefits and you should understand the difference if you want your business to get the most from your film capacitors.

Metallized polyester film allows the capacitors to hold high-pulsed voltages, while a polycarbonate one offers operating stability and a wide choice of temperatures. When purchasing any type of film capacitors you should do so from a reputable manufacturer. Digi-Key is the biggest online supplier of film capacitors and has a huge catalog of products on offer. You also have the option, if you are running on a strict budget, to purchase refurbished or second-hand film capacitors. Another advantage to buying used is many of the suppliers, such as Tempest, allow you to replace any capacitors that may not perform to the standard you were expecting. If you have problems locating a supplier that stocks the capacitors most suitable to your needs, you should consider having them custom-made. This is an ideal option if you wish to offer customers the chance to give you specific requests for certain products.
