VOLTRONICS CORPORATION

voltronics
Voltronics Corporation, a Knowles Capacitors product brand, is a world leader in the design and manufacture of multi-turn and half-turn trimmer capacitors. Voltronics’ trimmers include air, glass, sapphire, and PTFE dielectrics that can be used from 1 MHz to over 2 GHz and at voltages up to 20,000 VDC. Voltronics offers a wide range of precision variable capacitors and trimmer capacitors. These components are commonly used in electronic circuits where precise tuning and adjustment of capacitance values are required. The company's product portfolio includes air variable capacitors, ceramic trimmer capacitors, and glass trimmer capacitors.

Voltronics Corporation was founded in 1963 with the concept of designing a non-rotation glass trimmer capacitor that could exceed the specifications of rotation models. This design proved successful and resulted in trimmers that can withstand high vibration environments, have screws that do not move in and out and have tuning linearity of less than ±1%. From glass dielectrics, Voltronics expanded this technology to include air, sapphire and PTFE materials.

Application: Voltronics capacitors find applications in a wide range of industries and systems. They are commonly used in RF and microwave circuits, antenna tuning, filters, oscillators, frequency synthesizers, test equipment, and precision measurement instruments. The capacitors are designed to offer excellent stability, linearity, and repeatability across various operating conditions.

Voltronics is dedicated to continuous improvement and innovation in capacitor technology. They invest in research and development efforts to stay at the forefront of emerging trends and advancements in the industry. This allows them to offer state-of-the-art capacitor solutions to their customers.
