The other day, I was casually scrolling through Google when I stumbled upon a flood of dirt-cheap RC snubber circuit modules on various online stores. That got me thinking—it’s high time we talk about ...

There aren’t many concepts in the entire sphere of electronics that are quite as fundamental as the RC time constant. The initialism standing for “resistor-capacitor”, the RC time constant is a ...

You should limit thermal dissipation to a maximum of 15°C above ambient, and at no time should it exceed the maximum temperature rating of the capacitor. Film capacitors have been rapidly evolving to ...
