Sprague-Goodman Launches Ceramic High-Voltage Non-Magnetic Capacitors For MRI/NMR

Westbury, NY -- Sprague-Goodman Electronics introduced the SGNM line, a ceramic, high-voltage, non-magnetic capacitor. The high-purity ceramic dielectric used in the SGNM is a new concept to the industry, and provides advantages over the current Teflon Dielectric products offered on the market.

The ceramic design allows for a variety of pF, voltage, and lead configuration combinations at no additional cost.

"Not only is this the best performing Non-Magnetic capacitor I have designed in my career, but we are able to produce it at a reasonable price. Customers shouldn't have to pay extra for a few tweaks to the standard product. Our SGNM performs better than anything out there, is priced competitively, and is made to order. I am very proud to introduce the new industry standard and the future of High Voltage Non-Magnetic Capacitors," company president David Ditlya commented. (David Ditlya holds US Patents for High Voltage Non-Magnetic Variable Capacitors.)

Product Highlights:

  • Durable High Purity Ceramic Dielectric
  • 10 – 180 pF Max (model numbers offered in 5 pF increments)
  • Working Voltage up to 7,500 volts
  • Withstanding Voltage Up to 15,000 volts
  • Seal 40psi
  • Suitable for Cryogenic Applications. Tuning and Usage as low as 4°K
