Aluminum electrolytic capacitor maker Lelon Electronics has cut into the wind power market, having received orders from one wind power system maker totaling NT$70-80 million (US$2.12-2.42 million) for 2009.Lelon's capacitors tailored fo...

AVX adds the AR series to the Skycap rangeEdited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Nov 18, 2008AVX has developed a radial leaded capacitor that encompasses NP0, X7R and X8R dielectrics for applications in harsh environments.The AR serie...

How Capacitors Work Capacitors are similar in a way to batteries, but have different construction and characteristics. They store electric energy and release it when necessary; but unlike batteries, capacitors can be charged and discharged ...

The capacitor's function is to store electricity, or electrical energy.The capacitor also functions as a filter, passing alternating current (AC), and blocking direct current (DC).This symbol is used to indicate a capacitor in a circui...

Electrolytic Capacitors (Electrochemical type capacitors)Aluminum is used for the electrodes by using a thin oxidization membrane.Large values of capacitance can be obtained in comparison with the size of the capacitor, because the dielectr...

Tantalum Capacitors are electrolytic capacitors that is use a material called tantalum for the electrodes. Large values of capacitance similar to aluminum electrolytic capacitors can be obtained. Also, tantalum capacitors are superior to al...

Ceramic capacitors are constructed with materials such as titanium acid barium used as the dielectric. Internally, these capacitors are not constructed as a coil, so they can be used in high frequency applications. Typically, they are used ...
