Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced that the company has extended its 193 PUR-SI series of miniature ...

Vehicle electrification is the biggest growth driver for capacitors used in power converters, according to a recent report from Yole Intelligence, part of Yole Group. The power capacitor market share ...

Not all UPS designs are the same. As a result of cost savings in the very competitive UPS market, some designs may not have the highest level of component reliability. Capacitors are an integral part ...

Engineers designing power electronics find that capacitors are needed for several functions, from energy storage to filters and decoupling. Different capacitor types are available, that at first sight ...

According to the IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical and Electronic Terms, power factor (PF) is defined as the ratio of the circuit power (watts) to the circuit volt-amperes. This is described by ...

Hybrid "power capacitors" that can store as much energy as lithium batteries, but with much higher charge/discharge rates, a huge range of safe operating temperatures, super-long lifespans and no risk ...

AVX Corporation has expanded its HQ Series MLC surface mount RF power capacitors to include P90 dielectric versions for high power high frequency applications, such as medical and industrial ...

Engineers often face design goals with conflicting requirements. For instance, take a design that requires an input capacitor to stabilize the bias voltage and present clean dc power to the device’s ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley have created what they're calling "microcapacitors," which integrate energy storage directly into the microchip itself, solving the ...

Photo 1: The pullout shows a capacitor prototype with stratified 2D nanofillers embedded in the polymer matrix being tested in a University of Houston lab. In the quest for more efficient and ...
