SB Electronics - Film Capacitors

Strategy

Our technology roadmap is driven by the strategy of application specific solutions. Rather than develop broad product lines to meet everyone’s needs, SBE has decided to build on the existing Orange Drop® product line of polyester and polypropylene metallized/film-foil film capacitors with technology innovations addressing specific demanding applications which are difficult to solve in the marketplace. In so doing, we have developed solutions which can be tailored directly to a customer’s need rather than forcing a choice among standard products. Experience has shown that we can do so in a very cost competitive manner, often at best overall value for the customer.

New technologies

Extreme Energy/Pulse Power - E²P² Technology
SBE's Power Ring Film Capacitor^TM technology is like nothing seen before! Think “outside the box” and call us today to discuss your specific requirements.

SBE’s Patented Pulse Film technology can be packaged in radial or axial leaded configurations as well as having widespread use in the Power Ring product line. After you’ve had a chance to review the documents below, call us and put us to the test!

SBE’s Pulse Technology Overview
Just How Good is SBE’s Patented Pulse Capacitor?

High Corona Inception Voltage (CIV)
SBE, in partnership with one of its customers, is developing new technology which greatly increases the CIV of the capacitors, allows for manufacturability in volume, and substantially improves the high energy field characteristics of the capacitor. Details on this technology will be released soon.

Capacitor Bank
If you are looking to implement Bulk Storage or Ripple Current Capacitor Banks for current distribution, consider SBE's Power Ring™ technology. The Power Ring is significantly more dense in Capacitance per volume compared to a typically implemented array of single section capacitors attached with a bus bar arrangement. Equal, or greater, current distribution is possible in the monolithically-wound Power Ring™ with proper placement of terminals around the ring. Additionally, lower ESL (equivalent series inductance) is also possible depending on the critical needs of the system. Please check out our Power Ring page for more information on this very innovative solution. We invite you to contact our Applications Engineering staff with your specific needs so that we can help you find the optimum solution for your system.
