Penn State researchers have developed a new high-temperature polymer capacitor that can store four ...

In the race for lighter, safer and more efficient electronics—from electric vehicles to transcontinental energy grids—one ...

If you search through an electrical engineering textbook, you probably aren’t going to find the phrase “gimmick capacitor” but every old ham radio operator knows about them. They come in handy when ...

Researchers create polymer capacitor surviving 482°F temperatures while delivering four times the energy density of current ...

Current capacitors often require dedicated cooling loops to keep them operating within a safe temperature range. If the capacitor itself can withstand the heat of an engine block or a high-voltage ...

In the race to lighter, safer and more efficient electronics — from electric vehicles to transcontinental energy grids — one component literally holds the power: the polymer capacitor. See ...

One of the most common parts to fail on a single-phase HVAC system is a run capacitor, so much so that we sometimes refer to junior techs as “capacitor changers.” While capacitors may be easy to ...

Anyone who’s worked with older tube-based equipment will be familiar with the type of vintage electrolytic capacitor which integrated several capacitors into one can. Long obsolete, they can be bought ...

This presentation was originally given by Andrew Smith, product manager, LED Lighting at Power Integrations for EDN’s May 2011 live LED event in San Jose. Consumers often see LED lamp failures. If you ...
