Pentaplex Inc.’s High Energy Pulse Discharge capacitors reportedly set new standards of Low Equivalent Series Inductance and High Pulse Discharge Current.  ESLs as low as 5 nanoHenrys and pulse discharge currents of 100,000 Amps have been achieved for a 100 KV 4.0 nanoFarad unit.

This was achieved by combining the oldest known inorganic dielectric, MICA, with a new proprietary manufacturing process based upon Pentaplex’s low-out gassing PCB technology at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

Additional advantages: completely solid-state construction with no sealed containers to rupture or oil to leak. Form-factor is completely flexible; units can be custom made to thicknesses less than 1/2 cm for planar transmission line installation to a standard rectangular form factor to drop-in replace lower performance capacitors.   

Temperature rating to 150°C  thanks to the inert nature of  the specially processed mica dielectric. 

Range from 0.1 to100 nF and from 20,000 to 200,000 Volts.
