LOW INDUCTANCE CAPACITORS
GTO APPLICATIONS
MKP Series
C4D
The capacitors of C4D Series are designed with reinforced
metallized polypropylene dielectric film.
These capacitors are suitable to withstand the heavy current
pulses usually met in GTO protection.
The axial connections allow to reduce series inductance
and provide strong mechanical mounting reliable electrical
contact and good thermal dissipation of heat produced during
service.
Applications:
- Protection of GTO
- High ripple current D.C. filtering
- Medium frequency tuning
- Pulsed lasers
Presentation:
- Cylindrical plastic case
- Mechanical fixing by means of brass connections,
- Hole M8 threaded ( M6 on request )
