If you have ever read advanced textbooks or papers about electronics, you may have been surprised to see the use of complex numbers used in the analysis of AC circuits. A complex number has two parts: ...

X- and Y-capacitors are commonly used to filter AC power-source electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise and are often referred to as safety capacitors. Here is a detailed view of these capacitors, ...

This video explores the function of capacitors and their importance in electronic devices. Capacitors store and release ...

The Type PFCH capacitor series from Cornell Dubilier Electronics, intended for the ac output of large inverter systems, filter undesirable harmonics before power is delivered to the grid or load. The ...

The Functional Materials and Devices Group aims to improve the operating voltage and energy storage density of high energy density capacitors. Currently, capacitor manufacturers competing for a market ...

I learned some basic electronics in high school physics class: resistors, capacitors, Kirchhoff’s law and such, and added only what was required for projects as I did them. Then around 15 years ago I ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has introduced the first Automotive Grade AC line rated ceramic disc safety capacitors with a Y1 rating available in a surface-mount casing.
