Workbench contributor and engineer Duke Evans writes that he has repaired many a circuit board trace with bare wire. In his years of circuit board repairs, Duke has also noted that some older ...
Taiyo Yuden has added the EIA 0402 size (1.0 x 0.5 x 0.5mm) to the lineup for CFCAP&#174, super low distortion multilayer ceramic capacitors, joining the existing 1206, 0805, and 0603 case sizes.
I didn't have one intended for the purpose so I used a pair of Angela MKP caps (correct capacitance, higher voltage) I had left over from tube amp building days. Dryers run without these if you give ...
Many single-phase compressors require a start capacitor to assist in starting the motor. These capacitors will occasionally fail, causing a compressor to fail to start. Overheating is a primary cause ...
Concerned about scarce supplies and high prices of tantalum powder, capacitor suppliers are ramping production of niobium capacitors as an alternative. Several companies expect to be manufacturing ...
Awhile ago, my subwoofer just stopped working (actually, if you turn it on, it just makes a loud buzzing noise). I tried getting it open but all the screws are messed up and i've since left it alone.
