To meet the demanding performance and harsh environmental conditions of automotive applications, component manufacturers have developed professional-grade tantalum capacitors that ensure long-term ...

Abstract: Electrolytic capacitors are notorious for short lifetimes in high-temperature applications such as LED light bulbs. The careful selection of these devices with proper interpretation of their ...

Metal-ion hybrid capacitors combine the properties of capacitors and batteries. One electrode uses the capacitive mechanism, the other the battery-type redox processes. Scientists have now scrutinized ...

Electrolytic capacitors owe their name to the material that one of the electrodes is made of. Next to the metal (for example, aluminium) electrode, there is an electrolytic one. The thin oxide layer ...

AVX Corporation has introduced a new series of wet tantalum capacitors designed for use at 200°C, many of which are capable of up to 2,000 hours of operation with applicable derating. AVX Corporation ...

Cornell Dubilier has released a range of long-life film capacitors optimised for ac harmonic filtering on the input and output of inverters. Called the ALH series and with a 1,500 hour rating (see ...

TAIYO YUDEN (U.S.A.) INC.'s new Cylindrical Lithium Ion Capacitor (LIC) offers extremely large energy density and high reliability. The cylindrical Lithium Ion Capacitor (LIC) from Taiyo Yuden (U.S.A.

We have revised our earnings forecasts for two suppliers of multilayer ceramic capacitors, maintaining our fair value estimate for Samsung Electro-Mechanics, or Semco, at KRW 210,000 and lowering our ...

Panasonic is promising long life from a range of surface-mount aluminium electrolytic capacitors. The parts span 10 – 680µF, 6.3 – 50Vdc and come in radial cases from 6.3mm in diameter and 7.7mm tall ...

The batteries we rely on for everything from our cars to our cell phones use a chemical reaction to store and release an electrical charge. The chemicals involved force a large number of tradeoffs in ...

In residential and light commercial HVACR, we work with run capacitors every day, and you may have noticed that they fail quite often. Because of this, many companies are beginning to integrate ...
