The TubeCap® is made of polypropylene
film with several special features. The composite film is incredibly
thin with superb self-healing properties these features are markedly
pronounced due to a special coating used.
This gives a very high electrical strength
in a capacitor with such compact dimensions.
The TubeCap® combines a high degree of
dielectric strength and low residual inductivity
with a very compact form of construction. It
has been developed as a high-quality technical
alternative to high-voltage electrolytic
capacitors and is thus ideally suited to use in
tube amplifiers power supplies.
The advantages over electrolytic
capacitors are:
Lower ESR and lower residual inductivity
No drying out; therefore longer service life
Excellent Self-healing properties
More compact form of construction
There is no series connection necessary
for increasing the dielectric strength
