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 ...
Kyocera AVX is once again stacking its ceramic capacitors to increase CV product in a small footprint, this time for high reliability applications. ‘DSCC 25007 Mini BME Stacks’ combine multiple ...
This tutorial explains how ceramic capacitor type designations, such as X7R and Y5V, imply nothing about voltage coefficients. Engineers must check the data to know, really know, how a specific ...
Passive Plus Inc. says the 01005BB104 broadband 100-nF multilayer ceramic capacitors are the industry’s smallest 100-nF broadband parts characterized for RF performance, with cases measuring 16 x 8 x ...
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 ...
Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...
