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 ...

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 ...

In power converters and power distribution networks (PDNs), mixing capacitors like high-inductance and high-capacity ...

As we have seen in part I and part II of this series [1], there are no inherent wear-out mechanisms in ceramic capacitors. And yes, as covered in part II, the high dielectric Class 2 capacitors (X7R) ...

More and more portable devices now use ceramic capacitors for filtering of dc/dc-converter inputs. Ceramic capacitors offer the advantages of small size, low ESR (equivalent series resistance) and ...

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 ...

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 ...
