Italian Manufacturer ICEL offer some great ranges of good sounding well-behaved film capacitors that give you the kind of performance you are looking for at a price that you'll like.

Available in both high performance Polyester and Polypropylene films, these capacitors offer significant advantages over tantalum or ceramic dielectrics.

ICEL capacitors have excellent pulse-handling capability and good stability, making them ideally suited to audio applications such as Crossover Networks, PA Systems, Hi-Fi and Guitar Amplifiers.

Full data sheets are available on the on the ICEL website.

For Polypropylene dielectrics a good place to start would be with the PWS, PPA & PPS axial types.

Or if it’s Polyester you crave (and therapy hasn’t helped) then try the MWR or for higher voltages the excellent series wound MWS range.

All parts are available in the UK exclusively from Campbell Collins.
