Due to current bottlenecks in the procurement of surface-mount ceramic capacitors, designers are looking for substitutes to keep their production lines running smoothly, and to find long-term ...

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 ...

In less demanding applications, a key factor for selecting a capacitor may be as simple as ensuring that the operating voltage of the capacitor is at least as high as the operating voltage of the ...

The role of X- and Y-capacitors and where they’re mandated. How versions in surface-mount packages ease production flow. The key parameters of these capacitors in their unique roles. Designing a new ...
