How capacitor measurements help you select the correct capacitor

Speaker: Jon Izkue | Duration ca. 45 min incl. Q&A When selecting capacitors, the initial approach often seems straightforward, beginning with a simple schematic symbol and a single parameter: capacitance. However, a deeper dive into datasheets quickly reveals complexities, with numerous asterisks and specific comments on various parameters that can raise more questions than answers. This seminar aims to demystify these complexities and provide practical insights into the real-world behavior of capacitors. This seminar will answer these and other critical questions, offering valuable practical insights: - The reasons why capacitance is measured under different conditions for each capacitor technology (e.g., ceramic, electrolytic, film). - Understanding why some capacitor types include explicit ripple current limitations or derating, while others primarily focus on voltage derating. - The distinction between dissipation factor (DF), often given for certain capacitor types, and Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR), used for others, and their significance in circuit performance. - Numerous small practical insights and tips to aid in the effective selection and application of capacitors in various circuit designs. #CapacitorSelection #ComponentMeasurement #CircuitDesign Follow Würth Elektronik on: Facebook group: http://www.we-online.com/facebook-we-group Facebook karriere: http://www.we-online.com/facebook-we-karriere Instagram group: http://www.we-online.com/instagram/we_group Instagram karriere: http://www.we-online.com/instagram-we-karriere LinkedIn: http://www.we-online.com/linkedin Twitter: http://www.we-online.com/twitter TikTok: http://www.we-online.com/tiktok XING: http://www.we-online.com/xing YouTube: http://www.we-online.com/youtube More details about Würth Elektronik eiSos: https://www.we-online.com/en Timestamps: 00:08 Introduction 01:00 Presentation 35:00 Questions and Answers
