It pays to know the distinguishing features of electrolytic, film, and super capacitors when planning applications where energy efficiency is important. MORRIE GOLDMAN, ILLINOIS CAPACITOR INC. RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS all have a common need for high-efficiency power circuits. Whether the original source of energy is light, heat, or mechanical motion, ancillary circuitry will probably either […]

Electrolytic capacitors go svelte
The traditional cylindrical packages that have characterized electrolytic caps are giving way to flat packs optimized for small spaces. Mario Dipietro, Flatpack Div., Cornell Dubilier Electronics, Inc. The first reported developments of electrolytic “condensers” were in the 1880s, with significant advances in the mid 1920s. In 1948, etched-foil technology developed by Illinois Condenser (today’s Illinois […]
Electrolytic capacitors targets mission-critical circuitry
Cornell Dubilier Electronics, Inc. (CDE) has introduced a new line of axial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitors for applications which require very high-performance under all operating conditions. The AXLH is a uniquely-designed axial-lead electrolytic that has the performance characteristics required for mission-critical circuitry. Continuous ripple current is rated at up to 28 amps RMS. With a load […]
Flat aluminum electrolytic capacitors targets power supplies for critical systems applications
Cornell Dubilier Electronics, Inc. (CDE) has introduced the latest in its series of Flatpack ruggedized flat aluminum electrolytic capacitor, the MLSG. This series targets compact power supply applications in military and aerospace, as well as other critical systems. Design enhancements and a new electrolyte push the MLSG to nearly double the operating life of its […]
