New Bedford, Mass. – Cornell Dubilier's PD series of ac capacitors boasts a totally dry construction that allows the same 60,000-hour service life as competing products, minus the environmental issues ...

Stability and transient response are critical to LDO performance. An electrolytic capacitor used for smoothing, energy storage, or filtering a rectified ac voltage has a ripple current that causes ...

We have covered homebrew capacitor construction a few times before. [Dexter] isn’t sure he trusts the forty-something capacitors over the long haul, but they did seem to repair adequately.

Aluminium capacitors cover a number of different types of construction, each of which has very different lifetime performance. Wet-electrolyte capacitors, for example, have a well-defined and ...

AVX has released ‘mirror’ construction capacitors to lower the profile of its multi-anode low-ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) TPM tantalum capacitor range. “The design reduces the height from 4.3mm ...

I’m waiting for the youtube video that shows the difference of a reversed capacitor in an actual real-world situation (e.g. within a metal chassis, proper construction, no artificial noise sources).

For some reason, mica and polypropylene (in green) are included, but this table does omit many materials that are conventionally used for capacitor construction such as polyethylene, polystyrene, ...
