Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. For decades, 50 V was the maximum voltage rating available for solid SMD tantalum capacitors. With today's requirements ...

The High Voltage Capacitor Market was valued at $1,779.90 million in 2017. With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0% from 2018 to 2025, it is poised to surge to a staggering $3,307.10 million ...

Norfolk-based capacitor maker Syfer has pushed up the operation voltage of ceramic chip capacitors, by over 1kV in many case sizes, regardless of local humidity. “Typical devices include a 2kV ...

A capacitor that you charge through a resistor operates at 50% efficiency; hence, many engineers avoid using switched-capacitor dc/dc converters. That efficiency figure holds true only for capacitors ...

Over the last 40 years, a series of misconceptions regarding mica capacitor applications has led novice users to consistently over-derate wound or rolled mica/epoxy dielectric capacitors. The mined ...

Engineers designing power electronics find that capacitors are needed for several functions, from energy storage to filters and decoupling. Different capacitor types are available, that at first sight ...

Restrikes or re-ignitions occur when the dielectric strength of the open gap, during contact parting, is not great enough to withstand the recovery voltage across the open gap. With a capacitive load, ...

LOWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of semiconductor products, today announced that it has completed the development of a new high voltage ...

I suppose a better question is, when is it not OK to use a higher voltage than original? I know with non-polarized capacitors for use in speaker crossovers, they say higher voltage caps simply allow ...
