New passive component architectures can meet the challenging requirements of emerging applications such as advanced driver assistance systems, says Verena Salan, High school physics teaches us that an ...

Vintage electronics and capacitor replacements tend to go hand-in-hand. Why? Because electrolytic capacitors just don’t last, not the way most other components do, anyway. The metal terminal ring and ...

Snap-in capacitors—radial lead aluminum electrolytic capacitors with “snap lock” terminals—continue to increase compactness to expand their applications’ reach. Terminals in this type of capacitor ...

Murata has managed to compress 4.3μF into a three-terminal 0402 (1005 metric) package, and qualified it for automotive use. This is the surface-mount equivalent of a feed-through capacitor, with the ...

A thin-film termination technology developed by AVX makes it possible to dramatically reduce the internal inductance of decoupling capacitors. A thin-film termination technology developed by AVX ...

Vishay’s 104 PHL-ST Capacitors Offer High Capacitance / Voltage Combinations to 680 µF at 450 V and 33 000 µF at 200 V Vishay today announced a new series of screw-terminal power aluminum capacitors ...

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 ...

MALVERN, Pa., Oct. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) is extending its 299 PHL-4TSI snap-in, four-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor family with new 350 V, 500 ...

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 ...
