This tutorial explains how ceramic capacitor type designations, such as X7R and Y5V, imply nothing about voltage coefficients. Engineers must check the data to know, really know, how a specific ...

Capacitors are among the simplest of electronic components – in theory – but the practical implementation is becoming more complex, says Christian Merkel. Capacitors are two conducting plates, ...

Capacitors are small devices used to store electric charges and consist of one or more pairs of conductors separated by an insulator. They’re mainly used in energy-storing devices such as televisions, ...
