A single capacitor can influence the lifetime and quality of entire electronic devices. These components wear out relatively easily and are used in virtually all circuits, including power supply ...

Panasonic Automotive & Industrial Systems Europe is introducing a range of small low-loss metallised polypropylene film capacitors for active filters, high frequency circuits and high current circuits ...

Electrolytic capacitors owe their name to the material that one of the electrodes is made of. Next to the metal (for example, aluminium) electrode, there is an electrolytic one. The thin oxide layer ...

In today's world of increasing electrical noise, higher-speed logic, and more-sensitive circuits, the need for high-frequency noise filtering is especially critical. Noise can enter a circuit through ...

Devices that plug into an AC mains outlet need protection from EMI. A Pi filter, as shown in Figure 1, is often used for this application. Safety standards exist to protect people and equipment should ...
