Understanding and Selecting Capacitors

Capacitors are among the key components in electronic circuits. Different technologies – ranging from ceramic and electrolytic capacitors to film capacitors and supercapacitors – offer specific characteristics and application areas. In this webinar, we first provide a concise overview of the relevant capacitor technologies, highlighting their typical strengths and limitations. 

A special focus will be placed on recent developments in aluminum hybrid polymer capacitors as well as DC-link film capacitors. 

What should be considered when selecting the right technology? What limitations apply to each capacitor type? Which technological trends and innovations are shaping the evolution of these components? And which new product developments open up additional optimization potential in hardware design? 

In addition to the technological classification, we will present current solutions from Würth Elektronik and provide practical guidance for their implementation in modern applications.
