As a world-class supplier of capacitors for industrial, medical and
specialty applications, Aerovox can address all of your capacitor
needs. Aerovox’s snubber capacitors provide the highest electrical
performance of any snubber capacitors currently available.
Constructed of polypropylene film dielectric and dual metallized
film electrodes, our snubbers are the optimal capacitor design for
IGBT (Insulated Gate BipolarTransistors) applications. They combine
high current carrying capability with low inductance, low dielectric
losses and capacitance stability across a wide frequency range.
All capacitors are built using Lean Six Sigma manufacturing
practices and undergo rigorous quality assurance testing
under an ISO 9001-certified quality management system.
Our products undergo 100% electrical testing to further ensure
high level performance. If you have specialized needs, our flexible
manufacturing processes allow us to quickly provide custom
configurations.
Snubber capacitors are designed for the high peak current operation
required for protection against transient voltages. Such voltages are
caused by the high di/dt generated in switching power electronics
applications.
Aerovox IGBT Snubber capacitors are offered in standard voltages of
630 VDC to 3,000 VDC for 100,000-hour operation. They are available with
direct IGBT module terminals, radial wire leads, or a unique printed circuit
board dual in-line pin mount.
