Jantzen Audio Compact MKT 1,0 – 100 µF +/- 5% 160 VDC Metalized Polyester Film Capacitor

Description

PRODUCT FEATURE
The Compact MKT capacitors are made with the highest quality metalized polyester film possible.
We have been able to make them smaller in size and with better sonic properties compared to “plain/smooth foil” electrolytic capacitors.
With a voltage rating of 160 volts DC, they are also more versatile to use than electrolytic capacitors, usually only rated at either 63 volts DC or 100 volts DC.
Due to their rounded square shape (flat top and bottom surface), they can be easily stacked when it is necessary to couple multiple capacitors in parallel to reach a higher capacity value for a certain crossover position.
As they are stackable, they will take up significantly less space, when compared to round-shaped equivalent values of plain/smooth foil electrolytic, MKT or PP foil capacitors that will need to be mounted side by side.

Please note!
Sizing examples shown below showcase new sizes for plain/smooth foil electrolytic capacitors.
2 x plain/smooth foil electrolytic capacitors 100 µF in parallel:
Total crossover footprint = 46,20 cm

2 x Compact MKT capacitors 100 µF in parallel:
Total crossover footprint = 23,94 cm
