Happy Birthday, Nikola Tesla!

On July 9, 2018 in All, General, Power, RF, STEAM, Student Central, Wireless by Mouser Staff

Nikola Tesla: Genius or charlatan? Maybe a little bit of both, but there is no disputing that Nikola Tesla, who would 162 years old on July 10th if he were alive today, had a flair for showmanship and a major impact on the advancement of applied electrical technologies. But what if Tesla were still alive today at a time when many of his inventions and ideas have been developed beyond even his wildest imagination? We decided to find out what electrical engineers thought....

K-SIM Improves Capacitor Datasheets and Simulates Multiple Parameters

On April 30, 2018 in All, Circuit Protection, Connectors, Industrial, Medical, Power, Student Central by KEMET Electronics

Capacitor datasheets are notorious for omitting performance details, typically only including individual performance parameters in each graph or only including "typical" performance of combined parameters. KEMET’s capacitor parameter simulator, called K-SIM, solves this problem by combining multiple parameters into a single graph.
