Variable capacitors are no longer as plentiful as ... you’d expect a similar coil to form the inductive part of a tuned circuit, but this coil is shorted out to prevent its inductance becoming ...

But do you know why? [Bertho] put together a great post that looks that the benefits of using decoupling capacitors in your circuits. He set up a circuit using a 74HC04 inverter and put it to the ...

Leaky capacitors (and leaky batteries) have killed many ancient computers over the years. In the case of the former, electrolytic fluid can seep out and wreak havoc on circuit boards and nearby ...

which resulted in cracking of the circuit board capacitor. A damaged CPS capacitor could result in engine stalling. Dealers will replace the CPS. The manufacturer has reported that owner ...
