Variable capacitors may be useful, but the air gap that provides their capacitance is their greatest weakness. Rather than ...

Capacitors behave differently than resistors, where resistors allow a flow of electrons through them directly proportional to the voltage drop, and capacitors oppose changes in voltage by drawing or ...

The Type PFCH capacitor series from Cornell Dubilier Electronics, intended for the ac output of large inverter systems, filter undesirable harmonics before power is delivered to the grid or load. The ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announced its new series of metallized polypropylene AC filtering film capacitors optimized for high humidity environments. The Vishay Roederstein MKP1847H is the industry ...

Ah, the age old tradition of Dumpster diving! Sometimes we happen to spot something that’s not quite trash, but not quite perfect, either. And when [dzseki], an EEVblog.com forum user, spotted some ...

Although SPICE can be a powerful tool, there are pitfalls in relying solely on simulation. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it's imperative that a SPICE simulation be anchored to a detailed ...

In the past five to ten years, there has been a big shakeout in the capacitor industry with at least 15 major manufacturers ceasing production for various reasons. Product lines have also been ...
