Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance ...

A 9-V battery or an optional ac wall adapter can power the Model 881 portable in-circuit equivalent-series resistance (ESR) and dc resistance (DCR) capacitor tester ...

Back in school when being introduced to the basics of electrical engineering, we learned that the ideal capacitor was a simple, basic reactive element. It was easily modeled with capacitive reactance ...

There’s a problem with collecting old tube amps and vintage electronics – eventually the capacitors in these machines will die. It’s not an issue of a capacitor plague that causes new electronics to ...

Broadcast consultant Tom Osenkowsky recently constructed a panel with two vu meters and a DPDT switch. The switch allows him to configure the meters to display conventional Left and Right channels or ...

GREENVILLE, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of advanced passive components and interconnect solutions, has developed a multilayer capacitor (MLC) chip with new ...
