Our most basic capacitors are Unencapsulated, that is, a bare impregnated mica paper section with packaging. Used where space or weight is a consideration, they can be manufactured to meet your most stringent electrical, environmental, and physical requirements. Unencapsulated capacitors require protection from humid environments and are generally used in assemblies where subsequent potting or encapsulation is applied, especially in high-altitude applications. Custom's Unecapsulated capacitors can be constructed with solder pad, wire lead, or tab lead terminations. They have an operating temperature range of -65° to 125°C and are available in the following configurations:

​

• Single-Section Capacitors

• Multi-Section Capacitors

• Multi-Capacitor Assemblies
