One of the most overlooked, but important performance characteristics of a capacitor used in power circuits is its equivalent series resistance (ESR). ESR determines the capacitor's I 2 R heating ...
Back in school when being introduced to the basics of electrical engineering, we learned that the ideal capacitor was a simple, basic reactive element. It was easily modeled with capacitive reactance ...
Available in chip, radial and prismatic styles, this new series of proprietary, Advanced Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors (AAECs) is said to improve upon present-day aluminum electrolytics by offering ...
