Claimed to have extremely low ESR, DF and high IR, the KP80 series polypropylene film-oil capacitor's aluminum electrodes provide pulse ratings up to 10 kV/µs. Suitable as polystyrene replacements, the capacitors feature a linear temperature coefficient of -150 ppm ±100 ppm. Long time storage capacitance stability is better than 0.2%, while the operational-capacitance stability over two years is better than 0.5%. The capacitors are available in both axial and radial packaging and in values between 100 pF to 1 µF with voltage ratings from 63 vdc to 1 kvdc, and tolerances between 0.5% to 20%.
