Metallizedfilmcapacitorsareunsurpassedintermsofsize,weight,performance,andreliability
forACapplications.RegalBeloitbringsover60yearofcapacitormanufacturingexperienceto

highgrademetallizedpolypropylenefilm.Thisfilmisin
therangeof5to10micronsthick,dependingonthe

electrodeisseveralhundredangstromsthick.
Thefilmiswoundintocapacitorrollsonhighspeed,high
precisionmachines.Thewindingisextremelytightsothat
thereisnotenoughspacebetweenthelayersforcorona

aresprayedonbothendswithmetaltomakethe
connectiontotheextremelythinedgesofthemetallized
electrodes.Thisprocessiscriticaltothequalityand
performanceofthecapacitors.
Therollsareassembledinmetalcases,RegalBeloit’s
