Polystyrene capacitor properties
Polystyrene capacitors are not widely available these days, however they still find applications within audio circles. This is as a result of their electrical characteristics which lend them to these applications.
The polystyrene capacitors provide a number of electrical characteristics which make them suitable for a number of applications. These capacitors provide high insulation, low leakage, low dielectric absorption, low distortion and excellent temperature stability.
In view of their properties, polystyrene capacitors can often be used in place of silver mica or ceramic disc capacitors.
