Product information "S Series Film Capacitors"
Cornell Dubilier CDE (formerly NWL)’s S–Series capacitors are a simple economic package for a variety of uses. With standard sizes of drawn metal housings to choose from, this oil filled or dry resin medium package can provide a range of AC and DC voltages to store capacitance while utilizing an assortment of dielectric systems including extended film foil, metalized film, and hybrid combinations of each.
S-Series capacitors are well suited for many general purpose power modules and applications including:
- AC resonant capacitors
- AC harmonic filtering
- DC filtering
- High energy pulse power
- AC and DC commutation circuits
- GTO snubbers
Unique features of the S-Series capacitor include:
- Economic package – Simple drawn can allows for low cost oil filled or resin filled package.
- Aluminum can option – For high frequency applications, this product can utilize a non-ferrous aluminum can.
- General Purpose – With a range of existing standard can sizes, this product can be used for a wide variety of applications that fall in capacitance and voltage ranges.
- Painted metal can – For extra corrosion protection or a bit more heat dissipation, gray painted cans are an option.
Knowles Corporation is a global provider of high performance capacitors and radio frequency (RF) products, balanced armature speakers, advanced micro-acoustic microphones, and audio solutions. The Company's segments include Precision Devices (PD), and Medtech & Specialty Audio (MSA). The PD segment specializes in the design and delivery of high-performance capacitor products and RF solutions primarily serving the defense, medtech, electric vehicle, and industrial markets. The MSA segment designs and manufactures balanced armature speakers and microphones used in applications that serve the hearing health and premium audio markets. The Company sells its products directly to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and to their contract manufacturers and suppliers and through distributors worldwide.
Knowles also continues the legacy of NWL and Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) with a broad portfolio of advanced capacitor technology that is used in demanding industrial applications, e.g., custom, high-voltage DC and AC film capacitors for pulsed power and power conversion applications, including water-cooled devices, capacitors for fast switching IGBTs, DC link capacitors, air-cooled capacitors for harmonic AC or high-voltage DC filtering, DC filter and DC pulse capacitors or oil-filled capacitors for pulse power and power conditioning applications.
