Aluminum Capacitors
Little-Lytic Electrolytics
FEATURES
• Proven dependable performance in the industrial
and electronic equipment with either transistor or
modified electron-tube circuits
• All terminal connections welded, eliminating
possibility of open or intermittent contacts occasionally
found in pressure joints of conventional capacitors
• Superior in size, performance characteristics, shelf life,
construction and reliability
• Metal-encased with clear plastic outer insulating sleeve
• Excellent circuit performance when used as coupling
capacitors
• Minimum drain and long battery life when used in battery
bypass applications
• Better performance under life test than most miniature
aluminum electrolytic capacitors
