---All Kinds of Capacitors

In a way, a capacitor is a little like a battery. Although they work in completely different ways, capacitors and batteries both store electrical energy. If you have read How Batteries Work, then you know that a battery has two terminals. Inside the battery, chemical reactions produce electrons on one terminal and absorb electrons on the other terminal. A capacitor is much simpler than a battery, as it can't produce new electrons -- it only stores them.

In theory, the dielectric can be any non-conductive substance. However, for practical applications, specific materials are used that best suit the capacitor's function. Mica, ceramic, cellulose, porcelain, Mylar, Teflon and even air are some of the non-conductive materials used. The dielectric dictates what kind of capacitor it is and for what it is best suited. Depending on the size and type of dielectric, some capacitors are better for high frequency uses, while some are better for high voltage applications. Suntan supply a wide range of capacitors,that can meet most of customers.

• Suntan Plastic Film Capacitors --- Have a wide range ,such as HID lamp, ECU for engine control
• Suntan Ceramic capacitor --- Used for high frequency purposes like antennas, X-ray and MRI machines
• Suntan Tantalum Capacitors --- portable telephones, pagers, personal computers, and automotive electronics.
• Suntan Gold Capacitorsr --- CMOS's, microcomputers, RAM's and the like used in VCR's, tuners, TV sets, telephone sets and other.

We Suntan will attend the Electronica 2012 in Munich, some info as below firstly.

• Date: Nov. 13~16, 2012
• Add.: International Exhibition Centre of Munich
• Booth#: confirm soon.

During this fair, we still will exhibit our line card, especially some strong offer, such as X2 capacitor, LL4148, SMD rectifier etc.
Welcome to visit us and talk business. Samples, catalogs and rules will be available to offer.

During Oct. 13 to 16, Suntan attended ElectronicAsia 2011 in Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre.

On this fair, Suntan showed full range of products through poster, various samples, brochures and professional sales' introduction. A great number of purchasers, engineers and bosses expressed their interests to build business relationship with Suntan. Meanwhile, plenty of old customers visited our booth to expand current business and exchange gifts. Most of the customers are from European and America continent, and rapidly raising India.

By this chance, Suntan received many proposals and got even more familiar with long-time customers. Hope Suntan's stable quality, competitive price and professional service always take more opportunities and good feelings to all customers!

During the Chinese National Day, most of Chinese companies would be closed from Oct. 1 to Oct. 7. While for providing better support to customers, Suntan sales office will keep open except Oct. 5. If anything need our feedback or if any new requirement, just please contact us freely and check our competitive price as always!

Data shows that more and more people start using multi-layer ceramic capacitors/MLCC, and increasingly optimistic about their new circuit design applications. In the past five to ten years, MLCC and tantalum capacitor capacitance of unit volume has been increased 10 to 100 times as before, MLCC application areas have gradually expanded to previously dominated by the tantalum capacitor site. Currently, MLCC and tantalum capacitors is competing between 1.0 to 100uF market. Many circuit design found that the new generation of large capacitance MLCC can better meet their needs, and higher production level (currently producing about 600 billion, and tantalum capacitors for 25 billion). Moreover, manufacturers of basic metal electrode and technological improvements have greatly reduced the cost of MLCC, which also increased victory chips for MLCC occupation tantalum capacitor market.

And at present ceramics are most cost affective in small sizes. Very large ceramics are a bit of a challenge, especially in SMD.

Currently the large case Suntan offer is up to 2225/3030 at Voltage 500V is 0.68uF, at Voltage 1000V is 0.1uF.

The main voltage : 50V, 100V, 200V, 500V, 1KV, 2KV, 3KV, 4KV

Material : NPO, X7R, Y5V

Size case : 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, 1210, 1808, 1812, 2220/2225, 3030

Thank you for your attention!

Since last year, lead time for box type film capacitors became longer, some duration the lead time for AVX/Epcos even comes to 25 weeks or more. Learnt from some customers that AVX doesn't does not produce this family anymore and Epcos's price become a problem which increase the total cost. Though this might be a hearsay, but here Suntan could offer replacements to these 2 brands could be true and trustful.

Suntan is always trying to make many efforts to improve the lead time and box technology, so along months, the lead time becoms Suntan's advantage, currently we offer 5 - 6 weeks for mini box TS05/TS05S P:5mm.

The main types which support box is Polyester & Polypropylene :

Capacitors with a Polyester are suitable for general applications such as coupling, uncoupling and passing. By using ultra-thin films can be up to 10 uF capacitance values ​​in P: 5 mm can be achieved. For operating temperatures up to +105 ° C, for example in automotive electronics, lighting or sensor technology.

Polypropylene capacitors are used in the high frequencies. These include resonant circuits, power supplies, deflection, oscillation circuits and the audio field.

Main features and benefits :

1. Box type provides identical outer appearance
2. Non inductively with metallized polyester film as dielectric, with copper-clad steel leads and encapsulated in a plastic case sealed with epoxy resin
3. Wide capacitance range and small size
4. Long life due to self-healing effect
5. Suitable for blocking
6. By-pass and coupling of DC and signals to VHF range
7. Widely used in filters
8. Noise suppression and low pulse circuits
9.Higher current density per capacitance and volume
10.Operating temperature up to 105 ºC

Main series in hot selling listed below :

*TS02B--Box Metallized Polyester Film Capacitors
*TS05/S--5mm Mini box stacked Met Polyester Film Capacitors
*TS09B--Double Sided Box Metallized Polypropylene Film Capacitors
*TS08S--X2 Metallized Polypropylene Film Capacitors, Box type.
