The size of a capacitor affects how much charge it can store (its capacitance), its voltage rating, and its physical ...

A power supply’s output capacitors - which are typically ceramic capacitors with values between 100nF and 100μF - cost money, take up space, and, in the case of delivery bottlenecks, can be difficult ...

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, ...

The continuous evolution of microelectronics tends to underestimate the importance of passive components. Actually, capacitors, resistors, and inductors play a fundamental role in all electronic ...

Kyocera AVX has added stand-off legs to surface-mount multi-layer ceramic capacitors to improve bending resilience and suppress thermally-induced weld cracking. Operation is over -55 to +125°C. “KGP ...
