Selecting the most reliable capacitors for today's automotive electronics requires the design engineer to examine a number of different device parameters and performance characteristics. The next step ...

Engineers designing power electronics find that capacitors are needed for several functions, from energy storage to filters and decoupling. Different capacitor types are available, that at first sight ...

The choice of dielectric material significantly influences the performance of film capacitors in high-frequency applications, impacting energy storage density, dielectric strength, and overall ...

With their low equivalent series resistance (ESR), which allows for good ripple-current handling as well as high surge-voltage ratings and self-healing properties, film capacitors are strong ...

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 ...
