New passive component architectures can meet the challenging requirements of emerging applications such as advanced driver assistance systems, says Verena Salan, High school physics teaches us that an ...

Snap-in capacitors—radial lead aluminum electrolytic capacitors with “snap lock” terminals—continue to increase compactness to expand their applications’ reach. Terminals in this type of capacitor ...

Vintage electronics and capacitor replacements tend to go hand-in-hand. Why? Because electrolytic capacitors just don’t last, not the way most other components do, anyway. The metal terminal ring and ...

Murata has managed to compress 4.3μF into a three-terminal 0402 (1005 metric) package, and qualified it for automotive use. This is the surface-mount equivalent of a feed-through capacitor, with the ...

Vishay’s 104 PHL-ST Capacitors Offer High Capacitance / Voltage Combinations to 680 µF at 450 V and 33 000 µF at 200 V Vishay today announced a new series of screw-terminal power aluminum capacitors ...

A thin-film termination technology developed by AVX makes it possible to dramatically reduce the internal inductance of decoupling capacitors. A thin-film termination technology developed by AVX ...

Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...

MALVERN, Pa., Oct. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) is extending its 299 PHL-4TSI snap-in, four-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor family with new 350 V, 500 ...

Many single-phase motors used on refrigeration systems will incorporate some type of capacitor. They will either use a start capacitor to aid in its starting or a run capacitor to improve its running ...

A squirrel cage induction motor must sense two or more electric phases to cause the magnetic field to start spinning, thus turning the motor’s rotor and shaft. Once the motor starts, the interaction ...
