WEET Analyze What is the Difference Between Pure Aluminum Foil Audio Capacitors and Silver Plated Foil Audio Capacitors

WEE Technology Company Limited - WEE are Capacitors Specialist

If you are very active in audio forums and related business filed, you must be quite familiar with “ Foil and Film” phrase. Maybe you will see lots of products names as Aluminum foil capacitor or Silver foil capacitor. Yes, that is true to some extents.

WEET engineers would like to tell you the advantages of Pure Aluminum Foil and Film Polypropylene PP Capacitors than Silver Plated Foil metallized polypropylene Audio Capacitors

The main Dielectric for both of the above two type capacitors are Polypropylene film, but Pure Aluminum Foil are winding by a layer of Pure Aluminum foil spliced to a layer of original polypropylene insulation film. There are two layers individually. So the size and weight for Pure Aluminum Foil are bigger and heavier than Silver Plated Foil Audio Capacitors

However, for Silver Plated Foil Audio Capacitors, there is only one layer winding on the core. Electroplating the metal composed of silver on the surface of the original PP film, which can also be called as metallized silver polypropylene film. 

Regarding the sounding performance, pure foil PP capacitors has much lower DF (Dissipation factor) values than plated foil metallized polypropylene film capacitors.

Please check below datasheet of WEET WMH Pure Aluminum Foil and Film Polypropylene PP Capacitors and common items stock list.

WMH: A lengthy axial film and aluminium foil capacitor, the WMH is aimed at the high frequency network of expensive loudspeaker designs. The size, weight and appearance are all impressive and give an excellent‘static value’ impression.

WEET 14 pcs WMH Aluminum Foil Film Met PP 10.0uF 100V +/-3% 28x85 Axial RoHS
Measured 5 of them (WMH) and they had a very good tolerance. 10.15 , 10.14, 10.145  were the first three. Very please with tolerance.

WEET WMH 100VDC 10.0uF +/-3% Pure Aluminum Foil Capacitor
Hello again.I recived parcel yesterday. Alleredy I mount one pair of yours capasitors i midrange circut.
Your capasitors plays allredy about 10 hours and I find this very promissing!
I had before jantzen alumen but on some others speakers. Yours capasitors sounds exactly the same on this moment. Thats why I hope that after burn-in process will be even better. I have an idea to use your WMH capasitor in complete midrange circut.
