“We are pleased to have Mouser distribute our broad range of Arcotronics Group film capacitors. Mouser has been a key partner for KEMET for many years and does an outstanding job in helping us market our new products,” said Jim Bruorton, KEMET Vice President Channel Marketing.

According to Barry McConnell, Mouser Vice President of Product Marketing, the distributor is known for its rapid introduction and prolific marketing of new product solutions to design engineers.

“Adding Arcotronics Group to the Mouser linecard enhances our capacitor product offering and allows us to honor our commitment to deliver high quality products to the design engineering community,” McConnell said.

Arcotronics Group manufactures a variety of film capacitors including polyester, polypropylene, and SMD versions. Polyester film capacitors feature a very wide operating temperature range, high dielectic constant, excellent self-healing properties, and a very good box size/capacitance ratio. Polypropylene film capacitors have a very low dissipation factor, very low dielectric absorption, very high insulation resistance, excellent self-healing properties, and very good stability. The broad range of SMD film capacitors come in a variety of sizes and feature excellent stability versus temperature, high reliability, low ESR, no piezoelectric effect, and no cracking. The addition of Arcotronics to KEMET’s portfolio complements and broadens the existing film capacitor product line previously acquired from Evox Rifa.
