Medium- and high-voltage capacitors find widespread use as snubbers or filters in applications, such as switching power supplies for audiovisual and business equipment (computers, modems and fax ...

General decoupling applications require capacitors with a combination of high capacitance and low reactance (i.e., low equivalent series resistance [ESR] and equivalent series inductance [ESL]) in the ...

How do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! So, how do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! Okay buckle up, ...

Components built using the newer, safer, higher-performance conductive-polymer cathodes are now available for use in 20-V to 28-V power-supply applications. Jayson Young, Technical Product Manager, KO ...

Guest columnist Dale Cigoy, lead applications engineer at Keithley Instruments, outlines how an understanding of the challenges for testing capacitors can be invaluable to engineers. Capacitors are ...

I suppose a better question is, when is it not OK to use a higher voltage than original? I know with non-polarized capacitors for use in speaker crossovers, they say higher voltage caps simply allow ...
