About
A graduate of Cooper Union, he was the first to use sheets of naturally occurring mica as the dielectric in a capacitor. Mica capacitors were widely used in early radio oscillator and tuning circuits because the temperature coefficient of expansion of mica was low, resulting in very stable capacitance – mica capacitors are still used where exceptional temperature stability is needed.
He founded the Dubilier Condenser Company in New York in 1920. His son Martin H. Dubilier also became a prominent inventor and company founder.
