Product Overview

The SAMXON KM Series Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are polar, foil-type capacitors designed for electronic equipment applications. Meeting IEC60384 standards, these capacitors are constructed with an aluminum case, sealed with end seal rubber, and enclosed in a PET vinyl sleeve. They are suitable for continuous operation within a specified temperature range and offer reliable performance characteristics including controlled leakage current, capacitance tolerance, and low ESR. The KM series is designed to withstand lightning strikes up to 2KV.
