Overload prevention in any given design is serious business, which means that the choice of safety capacitor shouldn’t be taken lightly either. Areas to consider in the decision process include safety ...

Since we’re now halfway through the series, it’s probably a good time to look at the nameplate parameter for capacitors – the capacitance itself. In most capacitor applications, such as bypass and ...

General decoupling applications require capacitors with a combination of high capacitance and low reactance (i.e., low equivalent series resistance [ESR] and equivalent series inductance [ESL]) in the ...

For decades, multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) have been the go-to choice for surface-mounted capacitors due to their many advantages, such as wide available capacitance range, non-polarity, low ...
