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 ...

Vintage electronics and capacitor replacements tend to go hand-in-hand. Why? Because electrolytic capacitors just don’t last, not the way most other components do, anyway. The metal terminal ...

Anyone who works with older electronic equipment will before long learn to spot Rifa capacitors, a distinctive yellow-translucent component often used in mains filters, that is notorious for failures.

Before the advent of integrated circuits (chips), all electronic components (transistors, resistors, capacitors, diodes) were individually packaged. However, they are still widely used in ...

Class action lawsuits have been launched across Canada alleging that purchasers of capacitors—or electronic products ...

That's bad, but not necessarily catastrophic. The capacitor is rated for 16V, and while pushing -5V across it will damage the component, it's unlikely to cause the dreaded puff of magical white smoke.

Haiwei Electronic has filed for a Hong Kong IPO, after taking on electric vehicle leader BYD as both a backer and its largest ...

Samsung Electro-Mechanics on Feb. 5 unveiled the world’s first multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) specifically designed for LiDAR sensors, a crucial component in autonomous vehicles. With this ...
