App note from CalRamic Technologies LLC on detecting defects in high voltage capacitor by Partial discharge. Link here (PDF) High reliability life critical systems require enhanced reliability high voltage multilayer ceramic capacitors, thereby necessitating improvements in materials, design, process control, and in-process screening procedures. Given that energy stored in a capacitor is proportional to the […]

App note: Handling of ceramic capacitors
Proper handling of ceramic capacitor presented in this app note from CalRamic Technologies LLC. Link here (PDF) Ceramic capacitors are susceptible to mechanical and thermal shock and larger capacitors in particular can be easily damaged if the operator does not pay particular attention to how they handle the device. In addition, care should be taken […]
