Ceramic capacitors are small, they don’t leak, they’re convenient, but they are downright strange. Certain types of caps will lose their capacitance depending on the voltage they’re operating at. If ...

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 ...

Capacitors may seem simple enough, but specifying them has grown more complex in recent years. The reason why comes down to freedom of choice. The universe of capacitors for embedded systems ...

Murata Electronics North America has introduced the GRU series, the world's thinnest embedded monolithic capacitor for substrates. Using advanced ceramic technology, the new 0402 size capacitor, ...
