EPCOS has optimized its discharge resistor modules based on hybrid ceramics to simplify mounting of discharge resistors on PFC capacitors and enhance reliability. The new module is no longer supplied ...

What is an RCD snubber? Consisting of very few components, Flyback circuitry is one of the simplest topologies. It is a very popular choice for low- and medium-power applications such as battery ...

Understanding RC circuits in your physics lab! 📊⚡ In this video, we’ll introduce you to the basics of using an oscilloscope to analyze Resistor-Capacitor (RC) circuits. Learn how to visualize voltage ...

Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new versatile RLC-Box created by electronics hobbyist Roger Leifert based in Aachen, Germany. With 3 rotary-switches you can select from 8 decades of ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

A snubber circuit limits voltage spikes in power converters. Snubbers are also used in the output of Class-D audio amplifiers for the same reasons (Fig. 1). When the transistor you use to switch the ...

You should limit thermal dissipation to a maximum of 15°C above ambient, and at no time should it exceed the maximum temperature rating of the capacitor. Film capacitors have been rapidly evolving to ...
