Passive Components Mounting Guidelines Workshop. The Passive Components Mounting Guidelines Workshop is dedicated to anyone interested in passive component mounting issues and impact of board mounting process to the reliability of the components.
Some of the technical sessions of The Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC) were focused on research involving the embedding and integration of passive components in 3D configurations.
The Passive Component Raw Material Index has shown that costs to produce certain types of capacitors and resistors, with emphasis on MLCC and thick film chip resistors, have increased between FY2017 and FY2019
The SAL are aluminum electrolytic capacitors with anodic oxidized aluminum oxide as dielectric and with the semiconducting solid manganese dioxide as electrolyte (eased production Ss of December 31, 2015)
PTC thermistors are used as ICLs (inrush current limiters) to protect circuits of electrical and electronic devices against inrush currents easily and effectively.
Devices in the new METCOM series are ideal for developing more efficient DC to DC switching power supplies as well as other power-related applications including EMI filtering.
Polymer tantalum capacitor technology was developed in response to demands from the market to lower the ESR of tantalum capacitors while preserving their small case size and high reliability. The technology is promising in several aspects. The higher quality interface between the dielectric and the polymer cathode increases the breakdown voltage of the device, as well as reducing its DC leakage current, even at extreme radiation exposure conditions.
AVX will cease to manufacture MIL-PRF-55681/4 styles CDR11, CDR12, CDR13, and CDR14 with the BG dielectric. (90 ± 20ppm). AVX will continue to support same styles with BP dielectric (0±30ppm).
Electromagnetic (EM) radiation from inductors in DC/DC converters is no triviality — especially when considering the type and proximity of surrounding components and their susceptibility to magnetic coupling. In this post, we will discuss EM radiation as it pertains to unshielded, semi-shielded, and shielded inductors. We will also cover how EM radiation changes according to different influences.
