Among the abundance of components making up electronic circuits, very few are as important as capacitors. These components, taking the form of conductive plates separated by an insulating material ...

Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...

TDK Corp. has introduced a new tool for calculating and selecting EPCOS and TDK film capacitors for PCB mounting. The new CLARA (capacitor life and rating application) tool offers parametric search ...
