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 ...

When Ceramic Capacitors Go Bad – Aging. Capacitor Aging applies to all Class 2 ceramic capacitors as they are built of ferroelectric materials. C0G types (Class 1) do not exhibit this aging effect, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Capacitors are essential components in electronics, primarily used for bypassing and decoupling. Depending on the capacitor type and its application, it is prone to aging and failure. Detecting a ...

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 ...

Technical ceramics are utilized in a variety of products and also for coatings of components that have to be highly wear- or temperature-resistant. They are also used in non-conductive or ...

Many single-phase motors used on refrigeration systems will incorporate some type of capacitor. They will either use a start capacitor to aid in its starting or a run capacitor to improve its running ...
