We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Capacitor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Varistors protect data lines from
AVX, which we summarised at the time by saying "The multilayer ceramic varistors feature nonlinear, bidirectional voltage-current characteristics similar to back-to-back Zener diodes and an EMC capacitor in parallel".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Varistors protect CANs from ESD from
AVX: "Multilayer ceramic varistors feature nonlinear, bidirectional voltage-current characteristics similar to back-to-back Zener diodes and an EMC capacitor in parallel".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Mouser Electronics
concerning its Voltronics trimmer capacitors
- take a look at Distribution deal selects trimmer capacitors
which says: "Selection of products available through Mouser provide a window into some of the capabilities offered by Voltronics in custom devices".
Take a look also at the news release from Ramtron International, Processor companion brings more to the party,
as well as Transient voltage suppression protects antennas from AVX,
and Convertors boost single cells to 5.25V from Linear Technology Corp.
