There is a general trend of making electronics smaller and with more functionality. This translates into: “Cram it in there,” so naturally designers look to find smaller and smaller parts. What was on ...

Although advancements in dielectric materials and fabrication processes have improved integrated capacitors, chip designers still depend on board-level devices to support virtually all ICs. Primary ...

AVX’s radial- and axial-leaded multilayer ceramic capacitors offer up to 1.0 μF at 50 V and 100 V in SR21 radial and 3.3 μF at 10 V in an SA10 axial configuration. AVX’s radial- and axial-leaded ...

Within the body of a high-voltage multi-layer ceramic capacitor, a gap-type defect is beginning its career of destruction. The defect may be a void within the ceramic dielectric, a crack within the ...
