Capacitors

Capacitor is a small device with a key significance. Currently on the market, and therefore in our shop, there are a variety of capacitors available. Check what distinguishes particular types of these devices and what purpose they serve. We encourage you to get acquainted with our offer afterwards.

What is a capacitor and what is it used for?

Nowadays, capacitors are an integral part of many electrical circuits. They are defined as the passive parts, accumulating electrical charge. These devices are used in electronics as well as in other industry branches, including automotive. What are they used for then? Basically all capacitors serve similar purposes. Namely, gathering electrical charge available to be used later when the demand is higher. Nonetheless, devices with a variety of specifications and usage can be found in this category.

Motor and film capacitors

Our offer includes numerous capacitors with a variety of applications. Most commonly used  among our customers are motor capacitors and SMD film capacitors.

Motor capacitors are dedicated to work with motors. They are responsible for supplying power in high demand situations. For example, this kind of capacitor is irreplaceable when it comes to launching a cold motor. Model destination is determined by a part symbol in this type of capacitor. It's about choosing a device compatible with a given power unit. Making a mistake on this stage may result in not being able to use the capacitor and eventually launching and operation of the motor. It is worth remembering that capacitors have an influence on the power achieved by the power unit.

Film capacitor is a structural part of the discrete circuit. Characteristic feature of this type of capacitor is the presence of a metal foil and thicker electrode in its construction, contrary to the models that use metallized electrodes. As a result, those capacitors are adapted to much higher amperage. In other words, their scope of application is much wider.

Find a good capacitor

When you are choosing a capacitor, two factors should interest you: type and quality. All types of capacitors are available in our store, therefore you have a certainty of finding the model that you are looking for. We rely only on proven manufacturers' services, and cooperate with renowned companies such as Kemet, JYC or Arcotronics. Those brands guarantee high quality.
