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 ...

Cornell Dubilier has released ‘ultra-flat’ aluminium electrolytic capacitors, intended to replace arrays of surface-mount capacitors. PCB terminations are flat ribbon-lead surface-mount types, whose ...

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 ...

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 ...

Components built using the newer, safer, higher-performance conductive-polymer cathodes are now available for use in 20-V to 28-V power-supply applications. Jayson Young, Technical Product Manager, KO ...
