This tutorial explains how ceramic capacitor type designations, such as X7R and Y5V, imply nothing about voltage coefficients. Engineers must check the data to know, really know, how a specific ...

Medium- and high-voltage capacitors find widespread use as snubbers or filters in applications, such as switching power supplies for audiovisual and business equipment (computers, modems and fax ...

With laptops continuing to slim down in form factor and tablets grabbing larger market shares as time goes on available PCB space is vanishing quickly. To fit into smaller PCB areas, power electronics ...

AVX Corporation has further expanded its high-voltage surface mount capacitor offering to include smaller case sizes, higher voltage ranges and higher capacitance values. AVX's high-voltage ceramic ...

Kemet is aiming at fast-switching wide bandgap semiconductor (GaN or SiC) power supplies with high-voltage multi-chip ceramic capacitor assemblies. The parts, branded ‘KC-Link with Konnekt’, feature ...

I suppose a better question is, when is it not OK to use a higher voltage than original? I know with non-polarized capacitors for use in speaker crossovers, they say higher voltage caps simply allow ...
