Power management with pulse discharge capacitors

These capacitors are available in either a dry epoxy or oil-impregnated construction and come in a variety of terminal options with a broad range of plastic or metal packaging.

With voltage ratings to 100kV, peak discharge current ratings to 250kA, these low inductance devices are designed for user-specified life. Cornell Dubilier offers expertise in the design and manufacture of customised high energy storage and pulse discharge capacitors for medical devices, industrial lasers, research and development, and critical military applications.

“We are proud to work alongside Cornell Dubilier,” said Greg Peloquin, Executive Vice President of Richardson Electronics’ Power & Microwave Technologies group. “Pairing our design-in capabilities with its high-quality products and strong technical team, we can provide an ideal solution to our power management customers.”

Richardson Electronics aims to provide solutions and adds value through design-in support, systems integration, prototype design and manufacturing, testing, logistics, and aftermarket technical service and repair on a global basis.

“These specialised capacitors are the next step towards providing optimal performance while meeting customers’ strict requirements,” said Jim Kaplan, Chief Executive Officer of Cornell Dubilier. “Our partnership with Richardson Electronics expands our touch to the global customer base they are focused on.”
