Variable capacitors may be useful, but the air gap that provides their capacitance is their greatest weakness. Rather than deal with the poor dielectric properties of air, some high-end variable ...

Capacitors are small components that store and release electrical energy in quick bursts. This video explains how they charge up, discharge, and help regulate voltage in circuits. From power supplies ...

Vishay has added 550 V and 600 V options to its 193 PUR SI line of miniature snap in aluminum electrolytic capacitors.

The market is fueled by AI power density and EV electrification. With ultra-low ESR capabilities, conductive polymers are ...

When Ceramic Capacitors Go Bad – Aging. Capacitor Aging applies to all Class 2 ceramic capacitors as they are built of ferroelectric materials. C0G types (Class 1) do not exhibit this aging effect, ...

An ultrathin ferroelectric capacitor, designed by researchers from Japan, demonstrates strong electric polarization despite ...
