SCR of FRANCE
quality capacitors for audio applications
Russell Storey
OEM for the
well known SOLEN brand and many other film audio capacitors, the
French manufacturer SCR provides one firm and unquestionable thing :
exceptional quality.
SCR's capacitors feature
dielectric and conducting materials and their application range is
wide :
crossover networks,
tubed equipment power supplies,
coupling in tube and transistor amplifiers
bypass.
Other
features :
capacitance range goes up to very high values, a fact that makes
them unique in their kind.
nominal tolerance at 5% but they always range at approx. +/- 2.5%
nominal tolerance at 5% but they always range at approx. +/- 2.5%
PPE Series, distributed around the globe under
several brand names and the label 'FAST CAPS'.
This series provides a very low tolerance value
of 5%.
TIN FOIL Series. Best known products of SCR,
this series incorporates a pure metal foil as
the conducting material instead of the usual
metallized plastic film. Tolerance values as low
as 1% and 3% ! What is really interesting about
them is that they offer very low distortion
artifacts, series resistance and high burst
currents. Due to their construction they are
relatively large-sized and quite heavy. Many
designers employ these capacitors in coupling
applications and as the main series capacitance
of high pass filters driving tweeter drivers.
