Choosing the right capacitor, especially the right tantalum capacitor, is crucial to ensure equipment reliability both at first turn-on and over time. Always consider derating to achieve the best ...

Capacitors are an inexpensive little component on a PC motherboard, but they can be a costly headache for manufacturers when a whole bunch of them go bad. Last week, Dell announced it was going to ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Transistors and ICs are considered active components because they change signals using energy from the power supply. Capacitors, ...

“Am I the first person to discover this?” is a tricky question when it comes to classic Macs, some of the most pored-over devices on the planet. But there’s a lot to suggest that user paul.gaastra, on ...

Regular readers of Hackaday are intimately knowledgeable about old electronics, and whether it’s about that old oscilloscope sitting in the pile of other oscilloscopes, or the very rare vintage ...
