Pulse Energy Capacitors for Extreme Environments
High temperature, high energy capacitors manufactured with a dielectric formulation designed for reliable operation under single or multiple pulse firing applications.
Knowles pulse energy capacitors are engineered for extreme conditions, delivering high energy density and ultra‑fast pulse discharge with reliable performance up to 200°C, making them ideal for mission‑critical, high‑power applications.
Key Highlights:
- High energy, fast pulse delivery with discharge pulses typically under 100 ns
- Reliable operation up to 200°C for harsh and high-temperature environments
- Low ESR and low signal distortion for efficient energy transfer and performance stability
- High-reliability pulse screening with 100% testing for mission-critical applications
- Optional safety features including integrated bleed resistors for controlled discharge
- Versatile use cases beyond detonation, including power filtering, energy storage, and coupling/decoupling
