Richardson Electronics Now Offering General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems High Energy Capacitors for Pulse Power
LAFOX, Ill., Sept. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RELL) announced today the availability of General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems’ high-energy capacitors for pulse power.
General Atomics’ high-energy capacitors for pulse power are exceptionally reliable and capable of handling even the most demanding applications. Solutions are available from 1KV-100KV, with custom types available to 2MV. The metal case variety is self-healing and has high-peak current microsecond discharge capabilities, while the plastic case variety is compact for high voltage and low inductance. The capacitors manufactured by the General Atomics EMS Team are the acknowledged standard for military, medical, industrial, and transportation markets that require the ability to operate over a wide temperature range and complement extreme duty, high mechanical shock conditions. General Atomics capacitor products are recognized globally in the industry for technology, reliability, quality, and long-life.“As a preferred channel partner for General Atomics, we are excited to have these products available for our customers. These capacitors are versatile and customizable, an important aspect when working on designs,” said Greg Peloquin, Executive Vice President of Richardson Electronics’ Power & Microwave Technologies group.“With its strong technical sales team and years of experience designing in capacitors for OEM applications, we at General Atomics are excited to be working with Richardson Electronics,” said Vic Scalco, Strategic Business Development Manager of General Atomics.About Richardson Electronics, Ltd.Richardson Electronics, Ltd. is a leading global provider of engineered solutions, power grid and microwave tubes and related consumables; power conversion and RF and microwave components; flat panel detector solutions and replacement parts for diagnostic imaging equipment; and customized display solutions.
