About Us
Company Profile
Hitech Electrocomponents Pvt Ltd was founded in 1982 (as Hitech Products Corporation) in the city of Hubli, located in the state of Karnataka. We have since then become one of the premier makers of capacitors under the brand names “El-Ci-Ar” Capacitors ,servicing the electronics industry and “Borger” Ignition Condensers , for the automobile industry. “El-Ci-Ar” is synonymous with quality mainly because of our stringent quality control methods, which has been perfected over the past two decades.
“Borger” is the only brand in India used for the entire two and three wheeler ignition condenser replacement market. Our horn capacitors are now being deployed in the entire two and three wheeler market. Under the “ElCiAr” brand we currently manufacture plastic film capacitors, metallized dip capacitors, IGBT and snubber capacitors. We are continually investing in R&D, innovating rigorously to develop new markets.
Manufacturing / Research & Development
Our Unit is located at Tarihal Industrial Area, Hubli with a total built up area of 18000 square feet.
A fully integrated capacitor manufacturing unit with a current capacity of 50 million with plans to upgrade capacity to 100 million units with state of the art machinery imported from Taiwan.
The entire manufacturing process is done under climate controlled conditions.
Our film capacitors use oil impregnation technology which is a homegrown technology and perfected for mass manufacture.
Our film capacitors have a lot of advantages over metallized capacitors which have been listed below.
Higher dv/dt rating, higher peak current capacity, higher insulation resistance over metallized capacitors.
Oil impregnation of film capacitors acts as a coolant at higher temperatures and prevents breakdown.
Mode of failure in film capacitors is in short circuit mode versus open circuit mode for metallized capacitors.
