Polyester and Metalized Polyester

  • Click on one of the families to see more detailed information on that Film Family

The ARCO Film Series consists of 4 major families:

1. Axial wrap & fill metalized polyester film capacitors

Round (MMT), and flattened or compressed (MMF) configurations. These capacitors are constructed with metalized polyester film dielectric, copperply leads, outer wrap of polyester film tape and ends sealed by epoxy resin, and are non-inductive. They offer high stability and DF versus temperature characteristics.

2. Radial metalized polyester capacitors

The MMR Series. This series offers high stability, DF versus temperature, and self-healing characteristics. The units are epoxy-coated for greater mechanical strength and moisture resistance.

3. Radial polyester film capacitors

The PRI Series. This range of inductive polyester capacitors are constructed with a dielectric of polyester film. They feature miniature size, high stability and reliability. An epoxy resin coat enhances mechanical strength and environmental performance. Ideal for commercial applications such as by-passing, coupling, and filtering used in TV, radio, tape-recorder, and stereo equipment. This series may be supplied on tape and reel for ease of automatic insertion.

4. Radical metalized polypropelene capacitors

The new MPR Series. This range of non-inductive, metalized polypropelene capacitors are constructed of polypropelene film dielectric with an aluminum foil electrode, copperply leads. The units are coated with an epoxy resin to enhance the environmental performance. These units are ideal for use in commercial electronic equipment.
