Paktron Capstick Series (CC)

Paktron's Capstick CC Series is a high performance non-polarized MLP film capacitor family designed for high ripple current, low ESR/ESL, and compact volumetric efficiency in high-frequency power applications. The family includes both thru-hole and gull-wing surface-mount options and is specifically positioned for high frequency switching power supplies and DC-to-DC converters. The Capstick capacitors have “true” voltage ratings and do not require the same derating practices some other dielectric systems use to achieve reliability targets.
