Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

Take SMD components. If you are just starting out, you might not know how to find the positive lead of an SMD capacitor. However, if you’ve been doing electronics for a long time, you might not ...

Why? Because electrolytic capacitors just don’t last, not the way most other components do, anyway. The metal terminal ring and the central plate are kept for re-use, and the metal case re ...

All SMT variants of the Aluminium Electrolyte and Aluminium Hybrid Polymer capacitors from Würth Elektronik are now offered in an extremely vibration-resistant version on request. Thanks to their ...

Film capacitors are also essential components in the inverters that convert solar and wind generation into the alternating-current power that can be used by the electric grid. Batteries receive a ...
