Electronic systems employing standard components require cooling systems or special placement of capacitors away from the heat source. Such cooling systems, connectors and cabling add volume while ...

Although many High-Q capacitors are available on the market their performance can vary widely depending on design and the quality of manufacturing, as Scott Horton of Johanson Technology explains to ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. introduced a new multilayer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC) featuring an integrated resistor and low electrostrictive ceramic formulation. For high-pulse-current ...

A research group has successfully developed a high-capacity capacitor, an energy storage device -- using a solid electrolyte with high deformability -- that can operate at high temperatures. With this ...

Two high temperature film capacitors by Electrocube can be used in high temperature applications. The 433D and 463D foil capacitors are manufactured using Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE or Teflon) for ...

Graphene supercapacitors are moving from lab curiosity to serious contender for the next wave of electric vehicle energy ...

Kemet is aiming at fast-switching wide bandgap semiconductor (GaN or SiC) power supplies with high-voltage multi-chip ceramic capacitor assemblies. The parts, branded ‘KC-Link with Konnekt’, feature ...

Over the last 40 years, a series of misconceptions regarding mica capacitor applications has led novice users to consistently over-derate wound or rolled mica/epoxy dielectric capacitors. The mined ...
