ECI is committed to developing innovative capacitor designs to meet existing market applications and anticipated new applications. As such we set no limit on our capabilities and will expand as required by the industry to lead the technology into future products.
We offer a diverse spectrum of standard product lines ranging from small chip size capacitors to large building blocks.
ECI’s is extremely flexible with the ability to produce dielectric, produce stamped or machined terminals, fabricate enclosures in plastic or metals, perform unique testing and develop and build it’s own production and testing equipment. More than 60% of ECI sales are on unique customer specific applications. Below is a summary list of ECI’s present capabilities in manufacturing and testing:
