The shift to 800-volt systems and Silicon Carbide inverters, while increasing efficiency, imposes extreme thermal and electrical stress on passive components like capacitors, effectively trading short ...

After Yageo's subsidiary KEMET raised prices on its tantalum capacitors twice in less than six months, Panasonic, currently ranked as the fourth largest supplier, also decided to increase its quotes ...

Peak Nano has secured two US patents that position American manufacturers to advance high-performance capacitor film technology. The breakthrough addresses supply chain vulnerabilities while ...

President Donald Trump has revived one of the most bizarre false claims from his first presidency and his 2024 campaign: an assertion that Americans are required to show identification to buy ...

Abstract: In switching converters, capacitor current is a critical feedback parameter due to its ability to rapidly reflect dynamic load variations, making it widely applicable in various control ...

Choosing the right capacitor, especially the right tantalum capacitor, is crucial to ensure equipment reliability both at first turn-on and over time. Always consider derating to achieve the best ...

Radio experimenters often need a variable capacitor to tune their circuits, as the saying goes, for maximum smoke. In decades past these were readily available from almost any scrap radio, but the ...

Precision-matched capacitor pairs are commercially available items, but only in a limited range of values, working voltage, and dielectrics. Plus, sometimes an extra critical application with extra ...

Researchers at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge have demonstrated a new way to control radiation in the terahertz range—an often-overlooked part of the electromagnetic spectrum—with ...

The capacitor auto-discharge module presented in this article is simply a failsafe module that automatically discharges the buffer/filter capacitor in a power supply circuit when its input supply is ...

After years of delays, people boarding flights domestically in the United States will need to present REAL ID-compliant forms of identification at airports in a major change for travelers across the ...
