Ideal for DC Requirements & Square-Wave Voltage Applications
The superior electrical characteristics of type MC metallized polycarbonate film capacitors make them ideal not only for the most exacting DC requirements, but also for square-wave voltage applications such as silicon-controlled inverters, converters and rectifiers.
Outstanding electrical characteristics of type MC capacitors are achieved as a result of Electronic Concepts skilled engineering and many years of experience in the manufacture of high quality metallized capacitors.
Additional advantages are:
- High volumetric efficiency which results in small, lightweight units. This is particularly important to designers of equipment where space is at a premium.
- Self-healing properties assuring greater operational reliability.
- Low loss characteristics and high current carrying capabilities make these capacitors especially suitable for specialized AC and RF applications.
- Applications for these capacitors include tuned circuits, analog computer reference capacitors and precision timing and integrating circuits.
