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, ...

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 ...

Dynamic Systems Inc. launches UHTC system for high-temperature testing of non-conductive materials, collaborating with The University of Alabama. Dynamic Systems Inc. (DSI), a subsidiary of Vishay ...

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 ...

In residential and light commercial HVACR, we work with run capacitors every day, and you may have noticed that they fail quite often. Because of this, many companies are beginning to integrate ...

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 ...
