For meeting more and more customer's requirement on the urgent delivery, recently Suntan made an important decision that we will keep stock for some series, starting from tantalum capacitor which is always with long lead time, as well as hot offer TS08S X2 capacitors.

From the year of 2010, with the order increased sharply, our production lines are always overload and the delivery schedule is longer than former accordingly. Our management realized the importance and emergency of the availability of stocks, and decided to keep stock for some common series. The lead time of tantalum capacitor are extremely long, and the current requirement from the market for our TS08S X2 capacitor is fairly well, as a result we chose these 2 series as a starting. If you need these 2 series, just feel free to check with Suntan professional sales if any stock available or not. With the support from customers, we believe our stock could cover a wider range of series in the near future!

A capacitor constructed by stacking, or forming into a roll, alternate layers of foil and a dielectric which consists of a plastic, such as polystyrene or Mylar, either alone or as a laminate with paper.Plastic film capacitors help suppress interference and simultaneously decouple semiconductors or are used as DC link capacitors.

Suntan have 4 types of Axial Film Capacitors, they are differ with different material and different body style.

Suntan have Metallized Polyester Film Capacitor with Cycloidal & Oval body style and Metallized Polypropylene Film Capacitor with Cycloidal & Oval body style also.

The temperature can up to 105'C at most.

They are mainly used in different instruments, DC & AC circuit of the household equipment and the fractional frequency circuit of acoustics system.

5mm Ceramic Trimmer Capacitor Features:

● As well as applications to small sized electronic apparatus, this series is designed for easy handing and is available with a variety of adjustment method (top, buttom, side and double sides);
● Wide mounting sizes and variable adjustment available;
● Lots of capacity ranges,3pF through 90pF;
● Sturdy mechanical structure against vibration or shock.

The mica group of sheet silicate (phyllosilicate) minerals includes several closely related materials having highly perfect basal cleavage. All are monoclinic with a tendency towards pseudo-hexagonal crystals and are similar in chemical composition. The highly perfect cleavage, which is the most prominent characteristic of mica, is explained by the hexagonal sheet-like arrangement of its atoms.

The word "mica" is thought to be derived from the Latin word micare, meaning "to glitter", in reference to the brilliant appearance of this mineral (especially when in small scales).

Based on Mica’s characteristic and other function .Suntan is supplying Silver mica capacitors which are high precision high stability high reliability capacitors. They are available in small values, and are mostly used at high frequencies.

The capacitance value of any capacitor is a measure of the amount of electric charge stored per unit of potential difference between the plates. The basic unit of capacitance is a farad; however, this unit has been too large for general use until the invention of the double-layer capacitor, so microfarad (μF, or less correctly uF), nanofarad (nF) and picofarad (pF) are more commonly used.

The capacitance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors tends to change over time, and they usually have a tolerance range of 20%. Some have asymmetric tolerances, typically −20% but with much larger positive tolerance as many circuits merely require a capacitance to be not less than a given value.Tantalum electrolytics can be produced to tighter tolerances and are more stable.

Suntan is a Hong Kong based manufacturer of Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors, Including Snap-in type Electrolytic Capacitor, Screw type and LUG type Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Axial & Radial Electrolytic Capacitor and SMD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor etc.

Capacitors may retain a charge long after power is removed from a circuit; this charge can cause dangerous or even potentially fatal shocks or damage connected equipment. Service procedures for electronic devices usually include instructions to discharge large or high-voltage capacitors. Capacitors may also have built-in discharge resistors to dissipate stored energy to a safe level within a few seconds after power is removed.

Our Suntan has produce a Safety Standard Recognized Capacitor ,It’s specifications is descriped its function detailedly as follows.

Ceramic capacitors are suitable for moderately high-frequency work (into the high hundreds of megahertz range, or, with great care, into the low gigahertz range), as modern ceramic caps are fairly non-inductive compared to the other major classes of capacitors (film and electrolytic). Capacitor technologies with higher self-resonant frequencies tend to be expensive and esoteric (typically, mica or glass capacitors).

Mica capacitors are high precision high stability high reliability capacitors. They are available in small values, and are mostly used at high frequencies.

Mica has a high dielectric strength and excellent chemical stability, making it a favoured material for manufacturing capacitors for radio frequency applications. It has also been used as an insulator in high voltage electrical equipment, and between the bars of commutators in direct current motors and generators. Mica is used because it can be split into very thin slices, and this keeps its thermal resistance low while retaining sufficient dielectric strength to prevent current from flowing across it at moderate voltages. The insulation is usually necessary when the heat sink is earthed (grounded) while the electronic component's metal surfaces will be connected to a power supply or signal line. If they were in direct contact this could form a short circuit. Heat sink insulation can also be necessary to prevent the heat sink from acting like an antenna if the component is connected to a rapidly varying signal.

Our Suntan has manage TS23, so if you are interested in this electrical capacitors, you can visit our website www.suntan.com.hk  for the detailed information, and you can send your enquiry to us for our competitive price and superior quality .I am sure if you have the first step ,we will have a good business relationship in the future. So Come on!

A varistor is an electronic component with a "diode-like" nonlinear current–voltage characteristic. The name is a portmanteau of variable resistor. Varistors are often used to protect circuits against excessive transient voltages by incorporating them into the circuit in such a way that, when triggered, they will shunt the current created by the high voltage away from the sensitive components. A varistor is also known as Voltage Dependent Resistor or VDR. A varistor’s function is to conduct significantly increased current when voltage is excessive.

Our Suntan is engaged dipped varistor .if our Varstor will meet your requirements , I hope you can visit our website www.suntan.com.hk for the detailed information. Varistor are very popular all over the world, so we are. Believe us ,you won't be disappointed!

The tantalum capacitor is a highly reliable type of solid capacitor or electrolytic capacitor. Surface mount tantalum capacitors are increasingly being used in circuit designs because of their volumetric efficiency, basic reliability and process compatibility.

Tantalum capacitors are manufactured from a powder of relatively pure tantalum metal. The typical particle size is between 2 and 10 μm. Surface area is expressed in capacitance (C) in microfarads (µF) times voltage (V) in volts (V) per gram of powder (CV/g) Note the very great difference in particle size between the powders.

Our Suntan Technology Company has many types of tantalum capacitors ,such as Dipped Tantalum Capacitor-TS19,Please see the detailed information on our websitewww.suntan.com.hk for your reference ,and welcome your enquiry about our all kinds of capacitors.
