You can work with a part for many decades, and still learn something new about it. At least we can, and we don’t mind admitting it. Take film capacitors — we all know they aren’t a polarized part like ...

See how these capacitors reduce components, handle more current, and support power systems used in vehicles and industrial ...

Film capacitors are passive electronic components that store electrical energy in an electric field between two conductive ...

Capacitors that power electric vehicles, aircraft, drilling systems and other high-energy equipment must charge in seconds while surviving temperatures that quickly undermine conventional polymer ...

Characteristics of conductive polymer aluminum solid capacitors include very low ESR and very high ripple current. Man Yue ...

This video explains what capacitors are and how they function as energy-storing components in electronic systems. Capacitors temporarily hold electrical energy and help manage voltage and signal flow ...

There is a general trend of making electronics smaller and with more functionality. This translates into: “Cram it in there,” so naturally designers look to find smaller and smaller parts. What was on ...

Electrochemical capacitors, also called supercapacitors, store energy using either ion adsorption (electrochemical double layer capacitors) or fast surface redox reactions (pseudo-capacitors). They ...

How the fast switching speeds and other characteristics of SiC devices create new challenges in DC-link capacitor design. Key parameters that need to be considered by electronics engineers when ...

Finding high voltage capacitors can be tricky. Sure, you can buy these capacitors, but they are often expensive and hard to find exactly what you want. [RachelAnne] needed some low-value variable ...

A snubber circuit limits voltage spikes in power converters. Snubbers are also used in the output of Class-D audio amplifiers for the same reasons (Fig. 1). When the transistor you use to switch the ...
