Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. introduced a new series of three-phase cylindrical capacitors for power electronics featuring high current capabilities, nine standard voltage ratings from 400 VAC to 1650 ...

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 ...

Capacitors are among the simplest of electronic components – in theory – but the practical implementation is becoming more complex, says Christian Merkel. Capacitors are two conducting plates, ...

Experimental electrical double-layer capacitances of porous carbon electrodes fall below ideal values, thus limiting the practical energy densities of carbon-based electrical double-layer capacitors.

Vishay’s 299 PHL-4TSI series of snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitors includes a diverse selection of 350-V, 500-V, 550-V, and 600-V devices. Recent additions significantly broaden the ...

The four basic capacitor types. The key parameters involved in selecting the right capacitor for automotive designs. Advantages and limitations of electrolytic and electrostatic capacitors. Choosing a ...

Kyocera AVX has released the new traction-grade FFLK series DC filtering capacitors. The new traction-grade DC filtering film capacitors are created to deliver safe, reliable, and long-lifetime ...
