Overload prevention in any given design is serious business, which means that the choice of safety capacitor shouldn’t be taken lightly either. Areas to consider in the decision process include safety ...

As we have seen in part I and part II of this series [1], there are no inherent wear-out mechanisms in ceramic capacitors. And yes, as covered in part II, the high dielectric Class 2 capacitors (X7R) ...

Tecate Group announced its offering of AC Safety Capacitors for X and Y class applications. Tecate's X/Y safety capacitor portfolio consists of the TYPE CMX multi-layer ceramic chip (MLLC) capacitors ...

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 ...
