We have recently begun using X5R dielectric capacitors. Although they have a better temperature coefficient over Y5V, they age much faster (5-7% logarithmically per decade). I assume the reason for using the X5R was the availability of the capacita

If you are just wanting to test the values of the electrolytics or tantalums, it's not a problem with an ICT, as long as your system has an analog instrument to do it. If you are wanting to test the polarity of the cap, you will need a capacitive co

I'm investigating heat transfer by 1st order approximation between PCB and ambient air via encapsulate material (epoxy or gel or silicone), they have thermal conductivity of 0.2W/C but it hard to find specific heat capacity and density. Has anyone

I presume you mean at microwave frequencies. If not get it right in the CAD. Programs such as Microwave Office and VSS make it easy. Also Ansoft, Keysight Eagle etc. Having used MO and Eagle I would heartily recommend them. In the bad old days one tr

Hi! I have just checked in my same oven after a blower-defect. You need Carlo Gavazzi EC3016PPAPL-1 sensor. You can find a link here about the sensor, use it as reference: https://us.rs-online.com/product/carlo-gavazzi-inc-/ec3016ppapl-1/70014680/ It

Have you verified the measurements on the bench with an LCR meter? Chances are you are experiencing aging with these ceramic caps. We have similar issues with X5R and X7R caps. You will see the effects of aging with returns from the field as well

You know, Rich - if the only problem with your present method of delivery is that the container runs dry and the pump sucks air you can add a non-invasive low level alarm quite simply and for about $100. A suitable adjustable sensitivity capacitive

| Okay, | | Another question, if the soldermask in not cured, then it is washed will water ingress (from wash or ambient ) play havoc with capacitance or dielectric of PCB. I mean will my crystal and clock circuits start "Y2K'n" on me. OR will my P

Organized or not, it is very easy to end-up with a bag of "fly shit" after sweeping the floor. Making measurements: * Search the net on "capacitance meter" to find an equipment supplier. HP [Aligent?] and IEC make very good meters. [We just use a F
