In electrical and electronic engineering, capacitors are fundamental components. They appear across all manner of applications, including power supplies, analogue filters, timing circuits, and energy ...

Connecting capacitors in series is no more difficult than connecting resistors in series. Capacitors can be connected to each other or to other types of components very easily because a capacitor has ...

Among the abundance of components making up electronic circuits, very few are as important as capacitors. These components, taking the form of conductive plates separated by an insulating material ...

In an effort to miniaturise and increase the performance of electronic devices, in particular their power circuits, manufacturers are constantly looking for new, more efficient and compact electronic ...

One of the most overlooked, but important performance characteristics of a capacitor used in power circuits is its equivalent series resistance (ESR). ESR determines the capacitor's I 2 R heating ...

Kemet has launched the CAS series, a range of surface-mounted safety-certified multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) for use in mains-powered applications. It addresses the demand for miniaturization ...

When capacitors are connected in series, the total capacitance is less than any one of the series capacitors’ individual capacitances. If two or more are connected, the overall effect is that of a ...
