Film capacitors

Film capacitors are distinguished by their extreme reliability. They are principally used in power supplies for telecom equipment, domestic appliances and entertainment electronics. Energy-saving and environmentally friendly lighting would be inconceivable without film capacitors. They are also essential to high-speed Internet access. EPCOS is one of the few manufacturers to master both wound and stacked film processes and offers components in the appropriate technology.

Power capacitors

The high power and energy efficiency of power capacitors from EPCOS are demonstrated daily in electric rail traction. But the range of applications is even wider, extending from industrial drives and wind power systems through uninterruptible power supplies to X-ray generators and lasers for medical engineering. PhaseCap capacitors for power factor correction reduce energy costs by eliminating reactive power and harmonics from power lines. AC capacitors are used in air conditioning systems, domestic appliances and power tools.

Inductors

Inductors make it possible to design the rugged EMC components vital to development and production of intelligent, highly integrated automotive control networks. Available as miniature SMDs or as heavy-duty filters for power applications, they ensure electromagnetic compatibility in all electrical and electronic equipment. An accredited EMC laboratory in Regensburg, Germany, is available for pre-compliance testing and certification.

We offer customer- and application-specific transformers as well as mass-produced standard components. Customized inductors are particularly used in information technology, lighting and automotive electronics.
