Just to keep the record straight, Kapton is a polyimide, not a
polyamide. They are vastly different. Polyamide is the general name for
the family of polymers commonly referred to as Nylon.

Derek,
You might try Texas Components (www.texascomponents.com) for high
temperature capacitors. They claim usage up to 200 C.
I suspect you will have to build (or have built) the inductors. You
might check with Dupont to see if Kapton (a high-temperature polyamide)
would be suitable for cores. You will also need to obtain magnet wire
with suitable insulation, and I suspect that you will have to either
weld or silver solder the interconnections. Once you have determined the
materials choices any good custom magnetics house should be able to
produce the inductors in quantity if needed.
Good Luck,
Scott Lacey

Hi all,
I'm designing a filter that has to live and work with an Ambient
temp of 180 C. Does anyone have suggestions as to component vendors that
I could contact for parts?
Thanks,
Derek Walton.
