Powering Innovation with Stacked Multilayer Precision
Quantic Paktron’s high voltage capacitors stand out in the industry due to their innovative stacked multilayer polymer (MLP) construction. This unique design approach sets them apart from conventional high voltage wound film capacitors, offering several key advantages:
Key Features
Stacked multilayer construction
Unique advantages over conventional wound film capacitors
- Higher frequency operation
- Ultra low ESR and ESL
- High dV/dT
Self -Encased Design
- Volumetrically efficient square shape
- Lightweight, higher capacitance density compared to boxed, wound capacitors
- Mechanically resilient body
Ultra-High ripple current ratings
- Ultra-low D.F. due to stacked construction, specialty dielectrics
- Unique design improves heat dissipation
High stability
- Zero DC-bias derating
- Low temperature coefficients
- 20+ year life expectancy without significant cap degradation
Wide Operating Temperature range
- -55ºC to +125ºC, vs polypropylene
- (-55ºC to 85ºC [105ºC]): stable parameters across this range
Self Healing
- During a fault condition, the affected area of the capacitor is “cleared”, isolating the fault and allowing the capacitor to continue to operate as normal
- Mechanically flexible, no susceptibility to piezoelectric effect, surge cracking
Standard values
- Corresponding to the needs of wide bandgap switching applications
- Custom values available
Lead Times 8-10 weeks, less in some cases Manufactured in USA
