Premium Materials for Optimal Performance

The quality of our film capacitors is based on carefully selected materials. Faratronic, the world’s largest manufacturer of metallized films, produces the dielectric films in-house. Common dielectric materials include polypropylene (PP), polyester (PET), and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), each influencing the capacitor’s electrical properties. Precise metallization ensures high contact reliability and low ESR. Advanced applications may use dual-layer or other innovative material combinations.
