ClarityCap ESA series is the high quality metalized polypropylene capacitors featured with high suppression of internal mechanic resonances

$7.00

The ESA range has been developed as a direct result of the 2 year research programme conducted between ClarityCap and the world renowned Acoustics Research Centre at the University of Salford.

The performance of the ESA capacitors has been dramatically enhanced by reducing resonant sonic outputs from the capacitor winding itself. This is achieved by careful selection of the highest quality polypropylene base film combined with thick pure aluminium metallisation and close control of critical production processes. The resulting ESA range offers exceptional performance in audio applications at 250Vdc.  A guaranteed 3% tolerance ensures component to component consistency for a balanced system and reproducibility across production runs.

As with all ClarityCap products tape and resin colours are flexible. Unless otherwise specified ESA capacitors are supplied with silver tape and black resin.

The graph below shows the relative sonic outputs between the SA (Traditional) and ESA (Optimum Point) ranges.

  • Conductor diameter is 1mm.
  • Tolerance ±3% standard.
  • Dissipation factor ≤ 0.001 @ 1KHz & 20±3°C
  • Insulation resistance ≥ 104MΩ-μF @ rated voltage & 20±3°C
  • Rated voltage 250Vdc
  • Dielectric absorption ≤ 0.1% @ 20±3°C
  • Temperature range -40 to +70°C
  • Environmental category 55/100/56 to EN 60068 - 1 (IEC 68 - 1)
  • Proof voltage test 1.5 x rated voltage for 30s. Not to be repeated
  • Vibration EN 60068 - 2 - 6 (EIC 68 - 2 - 6) Test Fc, 100 to 500 Hz 0.75mm or 98m/s2
  • Bump EN 60068 - 2 - 29 (EIC 68 - 2 - 29) Test Eb, 400m/s2 1000±10 bumps
