In past times Suntan X2 capacitors win good fame in market, to fulfill various demands, in the early of 2011, TS08S was launched !

Bright yellow box type with different approvals and Red Suntan logo shows more attractive outer appearance, a special point you could find from pictures is cULus mark which means this approval is for both Canada & USA.

TS8S wons folloing features :

1.Rated at 275 Volts AC for use in USA, Canada and world-wide.

2.Provides interference suppression with cULus.VDE, CE safety approvals.

3.Dielectric Strength:1200 VDC for 60sec.

4.High dv/ dt capabilities

5. ideal for line-by-pass, antenna coupling, accross-the-line available for EMI filter, switching power supply, radio application

6.Operating temperature rang-40ºC~+100ºC, capacitance range from 1000pF - 2.2uF, special value can be customized.

The strongpoint for this X2 at present is close to inventory delivery & more competitive prices.

Sufficient raw materials for standard values have been prepared,

L/T is just 3 weeks for bulk order under 300kpcs for P:15mm or 10mm, while 5 weeks for larger Pitches.

Even only 7 weeks for some special values and customized items.

Samples are open and worth for testing, even most of in stocks or could be get ready in short time.

Following fresh stock items in July for reference:

200kpcs - 0.1 uF 275VAC +/-10% P:15mm

100kpcs - 0.22uF 275VAC +/-10% P:15mm

Smaller quantity for various values are available for inventory delivery

Technical department are ready here to provide further technical information and sales at Suntan are waiting for new inquiry.

Old customers welcome to check offers with our sales, and new customers, please click info@capacitors.com.hk to check prices and stocks !

Thank you for your attention!

Natural mica contains many other materials including, iron, sodium, ferric oxide, and lithium. Because of the variability in composition of natural mica, mica destined for use in capacitors must be carefully inspected and classified, which adds to the manufacturing cost. All varieties of mica are chemically very stable and inert. Mica does not react with oil, water, most acids, (the exceptions are hydro-fluoric and sulfuric acid) alkalis, and solvents.

Mica’s thermal, electrical, and chemical properties make for excellent capacitors. Capacitance change with temperature range from ± 500 ppm/°C to 50 ppm/°C, depending on the construction technique. Mica capacitors exhibit very little voltage dependence, with dC/dV less than 0.1%. Mica capacitors have high Q or conversely small power factors (range 0.0001–0.0004) that are quite independent of frequency. This, combined with low inductance designs, result in capacitors that are ideal for high frequency and RF applications. Specification sheets of mica capacitors commonly show parameters plotted into the gigahertz range.

There are many types of mica, but only six or so are common rock-forming minerals. Mica capacitors are normally made from muscovite mica, or potassium aluminum silicate, KAl₂Si₃O₁₀(OH)₂ . It is thermally stable up to 500°C, and has a high dielectric strength. Phlogopite mica, or potassium magnesium silicate, KMg₃Si₃AlO₁₀(OH)₂ , is softer than muscovite mica and has less desirable electrical characteristics, but

it may be used up to 900°C. Mica deposits are found in Madagascar, Central Africa, South America, and India. India is probably the biggest supplier of mica.

For meeting more and more customer's requirement on the urgent delivery, recently Suntan made an important decision that we will keep stock for some series, starting from tantalum capacitor which is always with long lead time, as well as hot offer TS08S X2 capacitors.

From the year of 2010, with the order increased sharply, our production lines are always overload and the delivery schedule is longer than former accordingly. Our management realized the importance and emergency of the availability of stocks, and decided to keep stock for some common series. The lead time of tantalum capacitor are extremely long, and the current requirement from the market for our TS08S X2 capacitor is fairly well, as a result we chose these 2 series as a starting. If you need these 2 series, just feel free to check with Suntan professional sales if any stock available or not. With the support from customers, we believe our stock could cover a wider range of series in the near future!
