In less demanding applications, a key factor for selecting a capacitor may be as simple as ensuring that the operating voltage of the capacitor is at least as high as the operating voltage of the ...

When failure is not an option, high reliability EMI filters deliver superior high-frequency EMI suppression for ...

Myrtle Beach, S.C. — AVX Corp. has designed a ceramic capacitor that virtually eliminates the risk of short-circuit failure. Terminated with the company's FLEXITERM technology, FLEXISAFE capacitors ...

An ultrathin ferroelectric capacitor, designed by researchers from Japan, demonstrates strong electric polarization despite ...

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

Comparison of Class I and Class II MLCCs. The importance of equivalent series resistance. Why Class I caps are the choice when meeting power-density requirements. Two primary characteristics of a ...

Vishay has introduced 1, 2 and 3kV multi-layer ceramic capacitors for commercial applications. In seven case sizes from 1206 to 2225, they are made with either C0G (NP0) or X7R dielectric. C0G types ...

A mechanical engineer has developed a paperlike battery electrode that may improve tools for space exploration or unmanned aerial vehicles. A paper-like battery electrode developed by a Kansas State ...

Because of their high ESL compared to ceramic, tantalum capacitors are not the optimum choice for high frequency decoupling. Paralleling tantalum capacitors for bulk capacitance and ceramic for high ...

Reliable high-capacity energy storage is one of the major challenges we face in developing new electrical technology. From long-range electric cars to backups for variable-output alternative energy ...
