CRE defibrillator film capacitors are designed specifically to meet the reliability demands of a Class III medical device.  These capacitors are housed in a dry, epoxy-filled plastic housing version. Plastic cases offer excellent design flexibility and can be customized to specific requirements. They are available in voltage ranges from 800 VDC to 6,000 VDC, delivering in excess of 500 joules at full charge.

CRE has been a world leader in high-performance film capacitor technology design for 10 years. We produce dry-wound capacitors, from 100VDC to 4kVDC.  A key feature of CRE High Power is Controlled Self-Healing technology. This enables the capacitors to continue to function without catastrophic failure by effectively insulating any microscopic conduction sites within the dielectric.

While power film capacitors remain functional throughout their operating life, the initial capacitance value will decrease at a rate dependent upon the applied voltage and hot spot temperature. Our standard designs provide < (2-5)% capacitance loss over 100,000 hours lifetime at nominal voltage and a 70ºC hot spot temperature, while application specific designs can be provided on request. Various series of CRE High Power Capacitors are available for DC filtering, Protection, Pulse Discharge, Tuning, AC filtering and Storage applications.
