Electrolytic capacitors can struggle with ESR and lifetime, while traditional polymer caps trade those problems for leakage and vibration concerns. But there could be a third option you may be overlooking. In just 12 minutes, we'll explains how hybrid polymer capacitors split the difference; addressing common ESR, ripple performance, leakage, and lifetime challenges, while remaining in the same footprint as traditional polymer and electrolytic capacitors. https://hubs.li/Q04vY4_Y0 #WurthElektronik #WattsUp #Podcast #capacitors #ripplecurrent #esr #leakage

Capacitors can make a lot of engineers nervous, especially when used incorrectly. Though essential in power line filters, these components must meet strict regulatory and performance requirements, especially when connected directly to mains power. Replay our free #webinar to learn about the newest guidelines in safety certified caps and how to select the right capacitor for your design to achieve EMC compliance. Watch the video and download the slide deck here (no email required). https://hubs.li/Q04tdb310 #WurthElektronik #Webinar #capacitors #SafetyCapacitors

Need a sensor to last in tough conditions? Get expert precision when you need it the most. The WSEN-ACCE filter cap, a dedicated cap for the WSEN-HIDS humidity sensor, is designed to shield the sensor from dust, water, and mechanical stress. It helps maintain stable and accurate humidity readings even under harsh conditions. 🏭 https://hubs.li/Q04tddkW0 #WurthElektronik #ACCE #FilterCap #MEMS #sensors #IndustrialApplications

What would you do for a Klondike Bar? 🍫 Answer: Develop a new transformer series! #AGDT #gatedrivetransformers At Wurth Elektronik, we believe in celebrating ALL wins (with ice cream). Share in the excitement as we release the new extension of the Auxiliary Gate Drive Transformer Series (WE-AGDT); the Reinforced HV Dual Output Variant in 2015 package size! Any high-power, high-voltage application using SiC, GaN, IGBT, or Power MOSFETs requires isolated auxiliary supplies to power the gate driver ICs that control those switching devices. This one transformer replaces two! All parts are available from stock, so order your Gate Drive transformers at WE online (after making a stop to your local ice cream shop). #WurthElektronik #Infineon https://hubs.li/Q04s6GXw0

Are you getting everything out of your Common Mode Chokes? If you're like most engineers, you reach for a CMC to suppress noise, then stop there. You fail to look under the hood. But these components aren't just passive noise suppressors. They unlock a whole new level of design control once you understand what influences their behaviors and effectiveness. Learn about these influences and common pitfalls in our easy-to-follow podcast episode! https://hubs.li/Q04qV0jc0 #WurthElektronik #WattsUp #Podcast #CMC #CommonModeChokes #EMISuppression
