What would MacGyver do if he needed a high voltage capacitor but only had some foil, tape, water, salt, a nail and a plastic jug? He would build a salt water Leyden jar, that’s what. The Leyden jar is ...

Expanding its TLJ range of capacitors which are designed to offer a high capacitance versus voltage ratio based on stable MnO2 electrodes, AVX is offering a 47µF capacitor with a 10V rating in 0805 ...

Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...

A capacitor measured with a $100 handheld multi-meter can give a substantially different result than the same capacitor measured with a $10,000 LCR meter. That same capacitor measured with two ...
