he world is constantly changing and along with this comes developments and changes in electronic applications and technologies in the field of capacitors. The PSMA Capacitor Committee is a group of volunteers from the industry who are knowledgeable about capacitors and power electronics. Members include people from capacitor makers, the power electronics industry, people from academia and leading consultants. Through the PSMA Capacitor Technical Committee you can have access to excellent resources for designers and users of capacitors.

The PSMA Capacitor Committee, through Workshops, Webinars and APEC Industry Sessions, shares knowledge and insight explaining how capacitors can be used best, as well as techniques on how to overcome challenges through the proper capacitor choices to help you find the best solution for your application. Over the last few years, the Committee has addressed topics such as basic fundamentals, influences on materials, evolving new technologies, challenging applications and current trends. As we plan the PSMA Capacitor Committee activities for the coming year, we would like your input so we can meet your needs. Please take a few minutes to complete the PSMA Capacitor Survey.

Please feel free to share the survey link with colleagues and friends. The more feedback we receive the better we can plan our next steps for educational webinars, workshops as well as other committee actions to support all capacitor users in the best possible manner.

Thank you very much for your input and support.
