Devices that plug into an AC mains outlet need protection from EMI. A Pi filter, as shown in Figure 1, is often used for this application. Safety standards exist to protect people and equipment should ...

Our fundamental passive and inherently analog components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—are so conceptually simple and easy to describe that we often don’t fully articulate or appreciate the ...

The role of X- and Y-capacitors and where they’re mandated. How versions in surface-mount packages ease production flow. The key parameters of these capacitors in their unique roles. Designing a new ...

Tecate Group announced its offering of AC Safety Capacitors for X and Y class applications. Tecate's X/Y safety capacitor portfolio consists of the TYPE CMX multi-layer ceramic chip (MLLC) capacitors ...
