300uF 100V Electrolytic Crossover Capacitor
Up until now if you required a high value (100uF up) capacitor for a crossover that will handle real power it was near impossible. Our 50V BiPolar range really are not adequate for crossovers. These are rated at 100V. This new range is designed especially for crossover networks and will handle much higher power. There are too many variances to quote actual power handling. The range includes large values – up to 400uF, (required for subwoofers). All capacitors have RT or axial leads.

Capactitor Types
Ceramic:These offer low cost and high capacitance in a small physical size. Normally there are two types, the ‘High Stability Temperature Compensating’ type and the ‘Bypass and Coupling’ type. The former for use in resonant circuit and filter applications, with a value largely independent of voltage and frequency. The latter is for use in less critical applications, as they are less stable and have non-linear temperature characteristics and are somewhat voltage dependent.Polyester:These type offer good stability, a large range of values at low cost, and are the most widely used capacitor for general purpose.Polycarbonate:These have a low temperature coefficient, low dielectric loss at high frequency and excellent temperature stability characteristics.Polystyrene:These offer tight tolerance and are highly stable; making them suitable for very stable tuned circuits and oscillators.Polypropylene:This type has a very low dielectric loss and are particularly suitable in audio circuits and sample-and-hold circuits.Mylar:This is the Du Pont tradename for polyester. They usually have an aluminium film deposit on the dielectric and are called metallised polyester.
