Every now and then you need to make your own capacitor. That includes choosing a dielectric for it, the insulating material that goes between the plates. One dielectric material that I use a lot is ...

A key parameter of capacitors is their dielectric absorption (DA). If you want to estimate the capacitor’s quality or recognize its type of dielectric you can simply measure its DA. This simple ...

KEMET expanded its line of Aximax High Temperature Axial Capacitors with a new axial form factor that enables the technologies to be extended into high vibration environments. KEMET expanded its line ...

A research group led by Nagoya University in Japan has used nanosheet technology to develop a dielectric capacitor for advanced electronic and electrical power systems. Innovations in energy storage ...

A UK consortium has developed a 200°C Pb-free ceramic capacitor for automotive power converters. Key to the capacitor is a completely new dielectric material that does not suffer from the ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory are studying a mysterious material that may lead to significant advances in the miniaturisation of electronics. This work ...

Finding high voltage capacitors can be tricky. Sure, you can buy these capacitors, but they are often expensive and hard to find exactly what you want. [RachelAnne] needed some low-value variable ...

For the makers who need to construct their own capacitors, you must choose a dielectric for it, otherwise known as the material that goes between the plates. One popular material is paraffin wax that ...

Innovations in energy storage technology are vital for the effective use of renewable energy and the mass production of electric vehicles. Current energy storage technology, such as lithium-ion ...
