3rd PCNS Passive Components Symposium that will be held September 7th to 10th 2021 in Milano joins EPCIA Student Award initiative to support graduate and PhD students working in the field of passive components. Passive components, such as capacitors, resistors, inductors or filters, are crucial to make the (electronics) world “go round”. There is no semiconductor component and no electronic circuitry which can work...

PCNS Passive Components Networking Symposium organizing committee is pleased to announce Call for Papers for the 3rd international symposium dedicated to passive components. The event will be held on September 7th to 10th 2021 in Milano, Italy hosted by Politecnico di Milano university. PCNS Passive Components Networking Symposium is a bi-annual international symposium organized by EPCI European Passive Components Institute in co-operation with an...

EPCI European Passive Components Institute would like to thank to all our supporters, sponsors, and anyone interested in passive components. We wish everyone happy new year 2021 and success in challenges that 2020 brought to our lives. EPCI team

The next revolutionary step in supercapacitor technology development is closing its energy density gap to batteries while power density is closer to capacitors. New supercapacitor active electrode materials based on graphene, that enable quick and safe energy charging at record-high level of energy and power density, have been developed and demonstrated by RCPTM Regional Centre of Advanced Technologies and Materials in Olomouc, Czech Republic....

The ability of tantalum capacitors to answer requirements for reliability, robustness and high energy density make them critically important for advanced medical applications such as lung ventilators and life support monitoring equipment. EPCI president Tomas Zednicek published an article tracking use of tantalum capacitors in lung ventilators. The article was published by T.I.C. Bulletin No. 181 in April 2020. Medical ventilators provide assistance for...
