Why glass capacitors

Zero aging rate

Capacitance doesn’t drift over years of storage or use.

Wide temperature range

Stable from about −75 °C to +200 °C.

Built for harsh conditions

Radiation hard and resistant to shock, vibration, moisture and vacuum.

Hermetic and precise

Hermetic glass-to-metal seals, low dielectric absorption, high Q.
