Shop Cornell Dubilier (CDM, CDE) Type 272 High-Voltage Mica Capacitors

Type 272 defines a high-voltage mica transmitting capacitor built for demanding RF and power applications. This component manages elevated electrical stress while maintaining stable performance during continuous operation. Engineers rely on this design when systems require predictable behavior under heat, voltage, and current load.

Our inventory focuses on direct CDM replacement units, allowing fast integration without redesign or qualification delays.

About Type 272 Mica Capacitors

Type 272 mica capacitors operate within high-voltage transmitting environments where accuracy and durability matter. The internal mica dielectric structure resists breakdown while sustaining consistent capacitance across operating conditions. This construction supports transmitting equipment that cannot tolerate electrical drift or sudden failure.

Many Type 272 units function at voltage ratings reaching 5000 volts. Current handling capacity varies by configuration, allowing precise matching to transmitter demands. These characteristics suit broadcast transmission, military communication, and industrial RF systems where component reliability drives uptime.

Thermal stability plays a defining role in this series. Mica layers maintain structural integrity at elevated temperatures, reducing performance shifts during prolonged use. This stability supports installations located near power amplifiers or confined enclosures with limited cooling.

Our Type 272 offerings mirror CDM electrical specifications, simplifying replacement scenarios. Engineers avoid circuit changes, downtime, or unexpected behavior during maintenance cycles. That compatibility protects legacy systems while meeting modern operational expectations.

Benefits of Type 272 Mica Capacitors

Type 272 capacitors handle sustained voltage stress without capacitance drift. That consistency protects transmitter tuning and signal clarity across long broadcast cycles.

High current tolerance allows dependable operation during peak transmission events. The design minimizes internal heating, reducing wear and extending usable service life.

Mica dielectric construction resists environmental stress. Vibration, humidity, and thermal cycling have minimal impact on electrical behavior within rated limits.

Low dielectric loss improves energy efficiency within RF systems. Reduced losses limit unwanted heat generation and maintain stable power delivery.

Predictable aging characteristics simplify long-term maintenance planning. Engineers avoid frequent replacements that disrupt schedules and operating budgets.

Direct CDM replacement compatibility removes uncertainty during procurement. Parts fit existing layouts without requalification, preserving system integrity.
