Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

A key parameter of capacitors is their dielectric absorption (DA). If you want to estimate the capacitor’s quality or recognize its type of dielectric you can simply measure its DA. This simple ...

A UK consortium has developed a 200°C Pb-free ceramic capacitor for automotive power converters. Key to the capacitor is a completely new dielectric material that does not suffer from the ...

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 image shows a dielectric capacitor with interdigital electrodes formed by chemical vapor deposition of Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (purple and green) in a uniquely structured anodic aluminum oxide ...

The new FFLK series DC filtering film capacitors deliver high volumetric efficiency, durability, and cost savings in a wide variety of sizes, voltage ratings, and capacitance values and outperform ...

Using a hybrid silica sol-gel material and self-assembled monolayers of a common fatty acid, researchers have developed a new capacitor dielectric material that provides an electrical energy storage ...
