For electronics, your knowledge probably follows a bit of a bell curve over time. When you start out, you know nothing. But you eventually learn a lot. Then you learn enough to be comfortable, and ...

AVX Corp. has added more than a dozen new high-reliability SMD tantalum capacitors to its TMJ S1 Series, which exhibits very low DCL and high reliability when compared to other commercial-grade ...

AVX Corp.'s PulseCap Series capacitors featurethe 'undertab' termination style, where traditional 'J' leads are replaced byterminations that do not protrude outside of the outline of the case. The ...

AVX Corporation has expanded its HQ Series MLC surface mount RF power capacitors to include P90 dielectric versions for high power high frequency applications, such as medical and industrial ...

Chip capacitors are passive integrated circuit (IC) components that store electrical energy. Chip capacitors are simply capacitors manufactured as integrated circuit (IC) devices, also known as chips ...

Due to current bottlenecks in the procurement of surface-mount ceramic capacitors, designers are looking for substitutes to keep their production lines running smoothly, and to find long-term ...

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors use an electrolytic process to form the dielectric. Wet electrolytic capacitors have a moist electrolyte. Dry or solid electrolytic capacitors do not. There are two ...

This article is part of The engineer’s complete guide to capacitors. If you’re unsure of what type of capacitor is best for your circuit, read How to choose the right capacitor for any application.

Here’s a clever hack. Simple, elegant, and eminently cost-effective: using an SMD capacitor to hold your flash media in place! This is a hack that can pretty much be summed up with just the image at ...

The CC0603JRNPO9BN220 is a 0603 SMD chip capacitor manufactured by Digi-Key. Determine the length and width of the component. Note: Zoom in the PCBWeb Designer viewer for a better look. For ...
