Polystyrene capacitor table

What is a polystyrene capacitor?

Polystyrene capacitors are capacitors that have a dielectric made up of polystyrene. They come only in low values, usually 10pF to 47nF. Normally, their tolerance is 5% to 10% but high precision polystyrene capacitors are also available with tolerances of 1% and 2%. Working voltages for polystyrene capacitors are 30V to 630V.

Are polystyrene capacitors good for audio?

However this type of capacitor is not limited to only audio applications, it’s perfect for any application that requires a through hole high tolerance capacitor. Polystyrene as a dielectric has many positive properties which include a low dielectric absorption, low distortion, low leakage, high insulation, and excellent temperature stability.

What is the tolerance of polystyrene capacitor?

Normally, their tolerance is 5% to 10% but high precision polystyrene capacitors are also available with tolerances of 1% and 2%. Working voltages for polystyrene capacitors are 30V to 630V. They have a high negative temperature coefficient of -125 parts per million per degree Celsius.

Where can I buy polystyrene capacitors film capacitors?

Do not show again and take me directly to the Basket. Polystyrene Capacitors Film Capacitors are available at Mouser Electronics. Mouser offers inventory, pricing, & datasheets for Polystyrene Capacitors Film Capacitors.

What is a typical curve of a polystyrene capacitor?

Polystyrene capacitors -capacitors.it Typical curves Capacitance variation as a function of temperature at 1 KHz Dissipation factor variation as a function of temperature at 1 KHz Insulation resistance variation as function of temperature AC/C[%] tgδ x 10-4 MΩ x µF [s] T[°C] T[°C] T[°C] Type PLB/1- PLB/3 - PLB/4 Polystyrene capacitors

Are PP capacitors replacing polystyrene?

Where one has been able to disregard the TC differences the foil design of the PC often has replaced polystyrene PS but also here PP capacitors are replacing those of polystyrene. The manufacture of PC film therefore is declining and, will eventually cease.
