'Twas the Friday before Christmas
and all through the Plant
Not a creature was working
Not even an ant.
Food was spread
across tables of delight
As the CalRamic Team
settled in to eat light.
Faces of joy
spread across the land
Both employee and management knew
A long weekend was at hand.
Now another New Year
is rapidly approaching
And more time to enjoy
won't take very much coaxing!
Happy New Year from the CalRamic Team!
We'll back in production again tomorrow, December 27th
and closed on New Year's Day.
High Voltage Ceramic Capacitors are typically larger components requiring additional handling and care when soldering onto a board or making sub-assemblies. Due to the nature of the larger mass of ceramic materials, care and considerations should be given to avoid Thermal shock of the component.
Application Note 103 is intended for Manufacturing engineers and Technicians to help understand general guidelines and protocols for proper soldering techniques. Additional Application Notes are located on our web site for other types of soldering techniques such as Wave solder, Infrared, etc.
CalRamic Technologies provides High Voltage Capacitors for a variety of applications: Geothermal/Geophysical, Commercial and Military, Medical, and Hi-Reliability Space level. A variety of environmental conditions exist in all of these applications, and understanding the Protocols and screening criteria can be a bit confusing.
The level of reliability associated with capacitor selection is generally dictated by the intended application in which a capacitor will be used and the associated environmental conditions to which the part will be subjected. These applications can differ significantly, from basic commercial applications, to more demanding industrial, military/aerospace or automotive programs, to system critical space applications. Ensuring that the chosen capacitor matches its intended application is critical to achieving long term success. This application note reviews the more
common applications and presents testing protocols most often associated with the governing specifications that exist.
Feel free to contact our Applications Engineering team to discuss the definitions and options to help find the correct part and screening for you.

CalRamic is announcing two new Administrative Team Members that have been selected to best serve our Clients, Representatives and Distributors.
Our new Office Manager, Marcie Obrien, comes to us with 18-years of office management experience. She will be handling accounts and may be the first person you speak with when calling CalRamic. We are looking forward to her contributions during this growth period.
Gina Izykowski is our new Customer Service Specialist. She has over 15-years sales experience. She will be working with Founder and Lead Engineer, Jeff Day, on your capacitor orders and application questions.
We are excited to have the experience and enthusiasm these ladies bring to CalRamic!
Most of us think of High-Reliability applications as limited to Spacecraft missions. The fact is a non-repairable application can also be defined as high cost or limited access of the power supply. Reliability of the high voltage capacitor being used in these type of applications is of the utmost importance. CalRamic Technologies focuses on the proper designs, materials used, and strict processing of its components to ensure reliability. Screening and testing for final inspection is vitally important to qualify the component.
For high reliability applications, Partial Discharge Corona testing is a final screening test. It is one of the most practical tests to detect minor and major defects in Ceramic Capacitors. Application Note 106 outlines the general theory and screening criteria for High Voltage Ceramic Capacitors. Please feel free to contact one of our Technical Representatives with questions regarding your specific application at info@calramic.com.

CAPACITOR BASICS II – Capacitor Types
Continuing with our educational series we discuss the various types of capacitors and their functions. In practice, capacitors are available in many different forms. They can vary by the type dielectric utilized, the size, shape and nature of the electrodes used and the type of packaging employed. All of these variables can strongly affect the characteristics of the capacitor and the type of application for which these devices are most suitable.
For high voltage capacitors, CalRamic only offers ceramic dielectrics, but awareness of the other dielectrics is important when designing a high voltage power supply.
The entire series can be found on our Application Notes page.
During the next couple months, we will be releasing our high voltage ceramic capacitor educational series. Each application requires different capacitor specifications, which include design, material and screening. Our educational series will help you integrate our capacitors into your specific application. AN109-1 starts with the basics on how capacitors work.
CAPACITOR BASICS I – How Capacitors Work
A capacitor is an electrical device which serves to store up electrical energy for release at a predetermined time. In its most basic form, it is comprised of three essential components, two (2) metal plates or conductors, separated and insulated by the third part called the dielectric. A capacitor should not be confused with a battery inasmuch as both devices store energy, but unlike a battery that relies on a chemical reaction to generate electrons, a capacitor can’t produce electrons, it can only store them...
AN109-1 can be read in its entirety through our Application Notes Page.
We joined our partner company, VMI, Inc., in Munich November 8-11 for electronica 2016, the world's largest electronic trade show.
