Mica Capacitors
Our engineers have developed and implemented an extensive reliability proofing programme consisting of thermoset epoxy-impregnated MICA dielectric systems that operated for 540,000 unit hours.
Our range of Mica Capacitors include:
Available in a variety of configurations
-
Raw sections: For use in potted/embedded next higher assemblies.
-
Wrapped and end-capped: These are for stand-alone applications requiring no subsequent potting or embedment processes. The wrapping material is Mylar® or woven glass.
-
Fibreglass encased epoxy-filled construction: Provides the attributes of the epoxy moulded configuration with no hard tooling required.
-
Low inductance/high current: This design is ideal for EFI (exploding foil initiators) and is available in any of the above configurations. Similar low inductance and high current designs are available for EBW (exploding bridge wire initiators).
A selection of applications
-
Epoxy moulded capacitors: Epoxy moulded assemblies can be configured in solid complex shapes and mounting arrangements. Units can contain several voltage and capacity values and a variety of terminations. These configurations offer stand-alone shock, vibration, environmental security, and Teledyne Reynolds' reliability. Currently qualified for use on major military and commercial programmes.
-
Mica capacitors in voltage multipliers: Raw capacitors are used in our voltage multipliers. These units have output voltages ranging to 160 kV DC and are used in a wide range of military and commercial applications. Typical applications are X-ray equipment and low-power TWTs.
-
Various configurations: Epoxy-moulded, fibreglass encased with epoxy filling, wrapped, and end-capped. They are also attached to low-inductance strip lines for use on EFI and EBW initiators and ESA&F systems.
