Capacitors

Ceramic capacitors are a type of capacitor that uses ceramic as the insulating material between two metal plates to store electrical charge.

They are known for their small size, high capacitance, and low cost. As a result, they are commonly used in multiple electronic applications, including power supplies, decoupling, filtering, and resonant circuits. They are also used in high-frequency circuits, as they have low inductance and low impedance at high frequencies.

Tormeka is a well-known ceramic capacitor distributor and supplier of other high-quality electronic components in Europe and globally. We offer a broad range of ceramic capacitors with various specifications to meet the requirements of different electronic applications, which you can order now from our Tormeka website.

Film capacitors are a type of capacitor that uses a thin film of plastic or polymer as the dielectric. The film material used in these capacitors can be made from a variety of plastics or polymers, such as polyester, polypropylene, or polycarbonate. 

Film capacitors are known for their high insulation resistance, low dielectric absorption, and excellent stability over time and temperature. In addition, they have a wide range of capacitance values, typically ranging from a few picofarads to several microfarads. Film capacitors are also available with different voltage ratings, tolerances, and temperature coefficients to meet the needs of various applications.

Film capacitors can be found in a variety of electronic applications, including power supplies, filters, coupling, and decoupling circuits. They are also used in audio applications due to their low distortion and excellent frequency response characteristics. Additionally, film capacitors are often used in high-voltage and high-frequency circuits due to their excellent insulation properties.

Tormeka, a leading distributor of electronic components in Europe and abroad, offers a wide range of high-quality film capacitors to meet the needs of various industries. Our film capacitors are reliable, durable, and suitable for many applications, including telecommunications, automotive, and consumer electronics.

Electrolytic capacitors use an electrolyte as the dielectric. The electrolyte is usually a liquid or gel-like substance that conducts electricity and provides a large capacitance value.

They are known for their high capacitance values and are commonly used in power supply and filtering applications. They are also used in audio circuits and other applications that require large capacitance values.

There are two main types of electrolytic capacitors: aluminum electrolytic and tantalum electrolytic capacitors. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used due to their low cost and high capacitance values, while tantalum electrolytic capacitors have a smaller size, longer lifespan, and higher reliability but are more expensive.

Tormeka is a reliable and trusted electrolytic capacitor distributor, providing customers with high-quality products that meet strict quality standards. If you want an electrolytic capacitor, check out our diverse range of portfolio.

Tantalum capacitors are electrolytic capacitors that use tantalum metal as the anode and an electrolyte as the dielectric. They have a high capacitance value relative to their small size and are commonly used in electronics where space is limited.

Tantalum capacitors are known for their high reliability and stability over time and temperature. In addition, they have a low leakage current and are suitable for high-temperature environments. They also have a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), making them suitable for circuits requiring a high-frequency response.

There are two main types of tantalum capacitors: tantalum electrolytic and solid tantalum capacitors. Tantalum electrolytic capacitors use a liquid electrolyte, while solid tantalum capacitors use a solid electrolyte. The latter is more reliable and has a longer lifespan than the former one. Due to their small size and high capacitance values, they are also used in portable electronics like smartphones and laptops. 

Tormeka offers a variety of tantalum capacitors to meet the needs of different applications. With multiple product options, you can order capacitors from our product portfolio, such as tantalum electrolytic, in any style or capacity you desire.

Similarly, aluminum capacitors are electrolytic capacitors that use aluminum metal as the anode and an electrolyte as the dielectric. They are known for their relatively high capacitance values and low cost, which makes them a popular choice for many electronic applications.

They are polarized, which means they must be connected with the correct polarity in a circuit; otherwise, they can fail or even explode. In contrast to tantalum capacitors, they have a relatively high ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), which makes them less suitable for high-frequency applications.

There are two main types of aluminum capacitors: non-solid and solid aluminum electrolytic capacitors. The former uses a liquid electrolyte, while the latter uses a solid electrolyte.

Aluminum capacitors are also used in audio applications, but only in specific circuits where their high ESR is not a problem. Additionally, they can be found in consumer electronics, such as TVs and computers, due to their low cost and availability in large quantities. 

Tormeka, a distributor of electronic components, offers a wide range of aluminum capacitors, including non-solid and solid types, at high-quality and competitive capacitor prices on our online store.

Supercapacitors, also called ultracapacitors or electrochemical capacitors, are energy storage devices that bridge the gap between traditional capacitors and batteries.

Supercapacitors store energy in an electric field rather than a chemical reaction like batteries. As a result, they can store and release energy quickly. This makes them ideal for applications that require high-power bursts, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy systems.

They have a much higher power density than batteries, which means they can deliver a large amount of energy in a short amount of time. They also have a much longer lifespan than batteries, with up to a million charge and discharge cycles.

They come in different types and sizes, ranging from small button cells to large modules. As a result, they can store a wide range of energy, from a few milliwatt-hours to hundreds of kilowatt-hours.

They are commonly used in a variety of applications, including hybrid vehicles, wind turbines, solar power systems, and backup power systems. They are also used in consumer electronics, such as smartphones and laptops, to improve battery life and charging times.

Tormeka is a leading supercapacitor distributor, providing high-quality products that cater to our clients’ unique energy storage needs.

Variable capacitors, also known as tuning or trimmer capacitors, are crucial components in electronic circuits that require frequency adjustment or tuning. These are designed to allow the capacitance to be adjusted over a specific range. For example, the capacitance can be adjusted by changing the distance between the plates, typically accomplished by rotating a shaft or screw. 

They are commonly used in a range of electronic devices that require tuning or frequency adjustment, such as radios, TVs, and communication devices. They can tune a circuit’s resonant frequency or adjust an amplifier’s frequency response, making them a critical component in these applications. 

There are two primary types of variable capacitors: air variable and trimmer capacitors. Air variables use air as the dielectric material and are often used in high-frequency applications.

Conversely, trimmers use ceramic or plastic as the dielectric material and are commonly used in low-power circuits. 

Tormeka is a distributor of high-quality variable capacitors suitable for a wide range of applications. Our products are designed for the specific requirements of our customers and provide reliable and consistent performance.
