We recently released new supercapacitor modules that provide a significant jump in voltage rating over typical radial-mount supercapacitors, up to 9.0 WVDC.

In other blogs, we’ve talked about inductors in terms of their role in lumped element filters. Here, we’re going to take a step back to discuss inductors and related passive electronic components, including air core inductors and baluns.

In the first installment of our healthcare technology series, we discussed areas where health outcomes are improving as technology shifts closer to patients. Here, we’ll scratch the surface on three trends that are improving medical imaging technologies, and by extension, diagnostics, patient outcomes and access to care.

For the third installment in our RF Components for Radar series, miniaturized switch filter banks help modern radar systems adapt to changing missions and crowded RF environments while maintaining high performance.

At Knowles, it is our mission to provide specialty components that meet even the toughest performance and reliability requirements, especially for applications where failure is not an option.

To help PCBs and other physically connected components survive vibration, board bending, thermal mismatching, and stress during thermal cycling, Knowles has launched a range of leaded standoff components, Metal Frame J-Lead Terminal MLCCs, that are qualified to AEC-Q200.

This is the second installment in our RF Components for Radar series.

Given that snubber capacitors address the negative impacts of switching, it’s no surprise that they’re most commonly found in switching power supplies.

It’s been an incredibly exciting year to lead the Precision Devices division and support our talented employees as they innovate on and push the boundaries of the specialty components these markets require.

Radar systems are designed to detect and identify an object’s location.

Capacitors serve many crucial functions in power electronic circuits. Their ability to store electric charge makes them essential components for regulating and smoothing power flow.

Before jumping into a discussion on ceramic coaxial resonators, it is important to understand what a resonator is and how these electrical components work.
