What Kind Of Capacitors Does Knowles Make?

Knowles provides a broad spectrum of capacitor technologies designed to meet the energy storage needs of vastly different applications—from tiny medical implants to large-scale fusion experiments. Capacitor energy storage is determined by both capacitance and voltage, and Knowles’ product range spans the entire scale from millijoules to kilojoules, offering tailored solutions for each use case.

At the millijoule scale, capacitors such as bypass capacitors (e.g., 10nF, 250V) and high-Q resonant capacitors (e.g., 12nF, 1.2kV) are ideal for precision filtering, noise suppression, and maintaining signal integrity. These are used in medical devices, resonant power converters, and EMI suppression circuits.

In the joule scale, products like DC filter capacitor assemblies (3.9μF, 500V) and flatpack capacitors (20mF, 10V) handle greater energy needs for military electronics, radar systems, and renewable energy systems like solar converters and battery storage units.

For high-energy, kilojoule-scale demands, Knowles offers solutions such as medical discharge capacitors (32μF, 6kV), supercapacitor modules (36.6F, 9V), and high-energy capacitor banks (290μF, 26kV). These are critical in life-saving equipment like defibrillators and advanced research fields including plasma and fusion technologies.

Knowles’ capacitors are designed with both application specificity and energy demands in mind. Whether for precision or power, the company delivers high-performance, customizable capacitor solutions across industries.
