Energy Storage Capacitors
Custom energy storage capacitors designed to the strictest specifications, used in Military, Medical and Industrial applications.
Energy Storage Capacitors
Designed for a wide range of Military, Medical and Industrial applications
API Capacitors design and manufacture energy storage capacitors that are not limited to a catalogue range. Current, voltage, size, mass and terminations
can be matched to the customer’s requirement and application.
High reliability is achieved using ultra low defect density, high isotactic, metallised polypropylene dielectric film incorporating an extended working temperature range and controlled self-healing capability. Elements are wound on the latest precision edge controlled automatic winding machines and high conductivity copper is used for low resistance internal connections.
API’s capacitors are finished in powder coated corrosion free metal or insulated cases and filled with an environmentally safe oil or dry leak free resin.
