Wrap and Fill

A step above Unencapsulated, Custom has been designing and manufacturing Tape Wrap or "Wrap and Fill" capacitors since the company's founding in 1964. Using Mylar® tape, Kapton® tape, or glass cloth tape as the "Wrap" and any number of epoxies as the "Fill," these reconstituted mica paper capacitors can be manufactured to meet your most stringent electrical, environmental, and physical requirements. Like unencapsulated capacitors, these units must be encapsulated for high-altitude applications. Custom's Wrap and Fill capacitors can be constructed with solder pad, threaded terminals, flat lead, or tab lead terminations. They have an operating temperature range of -65° to 125°C (for high voltage Wrap and Fill units rated to 175°C, see High Temperature Capacitors) and are available in the following configurations:

​

  • Single-Section Capacitors

  • Multi-Section Capacitors

  • Multi-Capacitor Assemblies​
