In electrical circuits that drive lasers, run cardiac implants, or convert between alternating and direct current, components called capacitors produce large, fast pulses of energy. A new composite ...

The new capacitor is much smaller than a conventional device. (Courtesy: Nanyang Technological University) Researchers in Singapore have developed a prototype polymer capacitor that can store much ...

While capacitor versions have not changed much, there are a number of new power applications, where they are now used, such as alternative energy, electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage and more.

Kemet is claiming “the industry’s best reliability and highest breakdown voltages” from solid tantalum capacitors as a result of two technology developments. One is a collection of manufacturing ...

By their very nature, power factor correction capacitors are special devices that operate close to their dielectric breakdown limits — time, temperature, and peak voltage, all of which contribute to ...
