EPCOS has optimized its discharge resistor modules based on hybrid ceramics to simplify mounting of discharge resistors on PFC capacitors and enhance reliability. The new module is no longer supplied ...

[Editor's Note: This tech bite was originally posted on the Fairchild Semiconductor website. Richard Chung, the applications manager at Fairchild, would like to bring these tech briefs from his team ...

Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new versatile RLC-Box created by electronics hobbyist Roger Leifert based in Aachen, Germany. With 3 rotary-switches you can select from 8 decades of ...

This video explains the physics behind reversed resistor and capacitor equations. We clarify why voltage–current relationships appear inverted in different contexts, connect the math to physical ...

An RC circuit in series with the coil allows full-current turn-on for reliable relay operation, then reduces the current to save power. Fellow engineer Sanjay R. Chendvankar of Mumbai, India, recently ...

While working on electronics projects, it’s often necessary to test out different capacitance or resistance values as things are moving along. Depending on what you are testing, this can be a tedious ...
