by Derick Stephens, KEMET Corporation Selecting capacitors for decoupling and filtering in power circuits may seem like a basic chore for electronics designers. Getting it right, however, can critically influence reliability and longevity, but is complicated by the fact that parameters tend to change with factors such as the temperature and operating frequency. Proper attention should […]
Going solderless – Press-Fit capacitors bring multiple benefits to circuit assembly
Solderless assembly of electronic components can deliver significant benefits in terms of simplicity, repeatability and some key electrical and mechanical considerations. However, to be acceptable, technologies such as Press-Fit need to satisfy stringent operational and performance requirements stipulated for the specific application and by standards bodies such as IEC. MARYANN FULTON, KEMET The need for […]
