The possible failure modes of the multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) under board-level shock environment are studied through modeling, simulation and experiment. In this work, a finite element model ...

It is a well-known reality of rescuing certain older electronic devices that, at some point, you’re likely going to have to replace a busted capacitor. This is the stage [Kevin] is at in the 3rd ...

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- It never fails when it's hot; that's when you have a problem with your air conditioner. HVAC technicians work long hours in this heat to get systems back up and running ...

Since 2019, the leak has worsened, and NASA’s internal risk matrix now scores it a “5x5”—maximum severity and maximum likelihood. Engineers suspect microscopic cracks or failed welds, but ...

The gas stove in your kitchen heats up to about 200°C and the heat shield of NASA’s space shuttle can withstand heat up to 1300°C. But this new ceramic prepared by China can withstand almost ...

Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC) are the most widely used capacitor type in the electronics industry. However, the brittle ceramic dielectric makes MLCCs prone to mechanical damage. Manufacturing ...

Quantic Eulex XG Series ceramic capacitor is said to deliver 10 times the capacitance of traditional solutions with Class 1 dielectric stability and high Q factors. Featuring ultra-low ESR and ESL.

There are all sorts of amateur chemical rust removing techniques, and some electrochemical ones, many of which eat away lots of good metal as well as rust – all the dip-it-in-acid types, for example.
