Aerovox Corp. Names Marsh Electronics Worldwide Stocking Distributor for Its UPS Capacitors


Eliminates lead time for immediate customer availability



New Bedford, MA - Aerovox Corp. has partnered with Marsh Electronics to stock its UPS (Uninterruptable power supply) capacitors, providing customers with immediate access to replacements for preventative maintenance programs or emergency needs. These capacitors are used in UPS systems that provide critical backup to data centers, telecom/communication systems, industrial processes, and various other applications.



Marsh will provide overnight dropship delivery for emergency replacements within the continental United States and priority shipment worldwide. Additionally, Marsh, upon request, can provide customers with the ability to order online through a custom individualized account portal, facilitating preventative maintenance programs. Customers will have inventory visibility, and the ability to tailor shipments to their own stocking needs.



Aerovox's UPS capacitors are constructed with metallized polypropylene film technology, using the latest design techniques and testing methods to ensure high quality and long life. Reliability essential to UPS systems is assured by the company's unique testing protocol. After the standard final electrical test, a high voltage five-minute burn-in/aging test is performed on all UPS capacitors, followed by five high current discharge pulses. Developed specifically for UPS capacitors, this testing protocol effectively screens out the potential for early life failures, which is detrimental for any UPS application.



"Our stocking program with Marsh Electronics virtually eliminates lead time for commonly used UPS capacitors," said Jim Faughnan, Aerovox President CEO. "We can now provide the most responsive service and support available for our range of proven, high reliability products."
