SBE Purchases Industrial/Midwec Product Lines
SBE is in full gear manufacturing Polyester and Polypropylene axial lead film capacitor products that we purchased from Industrial/Midwec in 1999. Click above to view information regarding the Industrial/Midwec product lines now manufactured by SBE. SBE purchased the manufacturing equipment, process and engineering specifications, materials and intellectual property. We have even expanded some of their offerings to include different termination styles such as lugs, a wider range of capacitance values and more flexibility in package configurations. Combine this with our speed and technical expertise and you've got a winning team. Contact us today with your requirements!
SBE Continues To Expand Film Capacitor Product Offerings
Since our inception SB Electronics has sustained an industry standard by providing the most reliable film capacitor products to our customers. Our focus is to design and manufacture these products with speed, knowing well that your success depends upon a quick response. We also recognize the growing demand for comprehensive technical support and we are committed to providing solutions to specific problems. Our goal: to provide you with the best overall value and solution for your film capacitor needs. Beyond what you find here, and in our technical catalog, we are continually developing and expanding our film capacitor offerings. While many suppliers only offer "standard" values and impose long lead times for "specials", we welcome these opportunities. We encourage you to contact us with your specifications and put us to the test! Polyester, Polypropylene, Metallized, Film/Foil, Radial Leads, Axial Leads, Lugs, 4 Leaded Devices, High Voltage, Tight Tolerance, RC Networks. We are the Film Capacitor Specialists. Contact us today!
Type 773P High AC Voltage Series
Type 773P High AC Voltage Series The Type 773P has been developed specifically for demanding applications. The 773P series is a radial-lead, polypropylene unit with extended foil. The extended foil design makes this series superb for high frequency, high pulse current applications. The AC voltage rating of the 773P is such as to offer extremely high reliability in demanding situations. The 773P has extremely low ESR and is also available in tolerances of ±3%. Contact us today to request your engineering design samples!
Tight Tolerance Polypropylene Capacitors To Replace Polystyrene
For years SBE has provided Polypropylene capacitors with tolerances as close as ±1%. Recognizing Polystyrene film to be in short supply you have an alternative. Since we design and build much of our own winding equipment we are able to manufacture many of our Polypropylene units with tight tolerances. Our winding equipment utilizes a precision capacitance control system that we developed here at SBE specifically for manufacturing tight tolerance units. Our goal in manufacturing ALL of our products is to provide a capacitance distribution centered around nominal. We encourage you to contact us with your specific needs.
The SBE Quick Cap Program
Sometimes you just get caught in a tough spot. Call us! Yes, we have the shortest lead times in 3-4 weeks, but occasionally you need a faster response. In many cases we'll be able to turn product around in 7-10 working days. Contact us for details!
