ICW

Industrial Capacitors (Wrexham) Limited has been producing capacitors of the very highest quality for more than 30 years. Along with offering capacitors to popular traditional designs, the company also specialises in designing components to meet individual application requirements. Traditionally they have serviced the industrial, military and professional markets throughout the world gaining a reputation for service which is second to none.

A continuous investment programme has resulted in them utilising the very latest in winding technology which, in tandem with modern testing facilities, ensures quality of the highest order. The company has for many years been approved to the highest quality standards and currently holds BS EN:ISO 9000:2000 approval.
ICW typically manufactures capacitors utilising polyester and polypropylene metallised films and offers working voltages of between 63Vdc and 2000Vdc.

The range of capacitances offered extends from 10nF to around 600µF in a single winding. Styles vary greatly from the familiar wrap and end seal devices through to specially fabricated cases. On occasion aspect ratios can be altered to fit capacitors into low profile or short width spaces to offer design engineers the maximum flexibility.

ICW also produces the highly regarded ClarityCap™ brand of audio grade capacitors.

Products

The SMS range of capacitors has been designed to offer electronic circuit designers of dc filtering applications an alternative to electrolytic capacitors. Manufactured from a special metallised polypropylene film, the component offers a very high volumetric efficiency and current handling capability. The design also affords extremely low self inductance. The capacitors are housed in a UL 94-V0 rated plastic case UL 94-V0 rated plastic case 22 – 100μF capacitance range.
