Capacitors Resistors Magnetics

What electronics engineers need to know about Capacitors, Resistors, Filters, Magnetic and their Testing & Reliability. There has been a large turnover of engineers in the industry working with passive components. Electronic failures are caused more by passive components than semiconductor products. This is the first intensive training class on passive components in recent years. This class is an excellent opportunity to train your younger engineers and update the more experienced personnel on technology advances. In response to requests received from the industry this seminar is being offered with the following topics:

Capacitors Resistors
Types, Terms, Definitions and Formulas
Ceramics – MLCC’s, Disk Specialties
Plastic Film – Polyester, Poly Propylene & Others
Tantalum & Niobium – Solid, Wet, Polymer, Etc.
