TDK has announced its B3271xP series of DC link film capacitors, with a maximum operating temperature of +125 °C and no power derating up to +105 °C. The company highlights the thermal robustness ...

Nanomechanical systems developed at TU Wien have now reached a level of precision and miniaturization that will allow them to be used in ultra-high-resolution atomic force microscopes in the future.

Japanese and Korean passive-component makers are diverting more capacity to high-end capacitors used in AI servers, tightening supply in mainstream electronics, and creating new openings for Taiwanese ...

Peak Nano has secured two US patents that position American manufacturers to advance high-performance capacitor film technology. The breakthrough addresses supply chain vulnerabilities while ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge have demonstrated a new way to control radiation in the terahertz range—an often-overlooked part of the electromagnetic spectrum—with ...

It’s a widely known problem with roots in urban legend: Devices with motherboards failing in the early 2000s with a sudden pop, a gruesome spill, or sometimes a burst of flames. And it was allegedly ...

Everyone knows that the perfect capacitor to decouple the power rails around ICs is a 100 nF ceramic capacitor or equivalent, yet where does this ‘fact’ come from and is it even correct? These are the ...

The choice of dielectric material significantly influences the performance of film capacitors in high-frequency applications, impacting energy storage density, dielectric strength, and overall ...

As part of a phosphorescence detector, [lcamtuf] has been working with photodiodes. The components, like all diodes, have some capacitance at the junction, and this can limit performance. That’s why ...

“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 ...
