Superficial coverage May 26, 2003

OK we can't expect miracles for [this price] and 128 pages, but this book does not fulfill its promise of being a 'handbook'. It is best characterized as a 'primer' on capacitors, and not a good one at that. The treatment is very superficial with little hard data or usable reference links. Missing are any specific characteristic curves, concrete discussion of packaging, solderability (what are the soldering issues for metallized SMT polyester caps?), surface mount package styles and characteristics, inductive effects, silicon capacitors, voltage and frequency and pulse nonlinearities, safety rated capacitors, and so on. Diagrams where included are of a highly generic nature only. Also missing is a basic exemplar list of capacitor vendors and what they make - or any resource list except for a 6-entry bibliography of outdated or out of print material. It is also out of date generally (polycarbonates are discussed altho they have been discontinued for a year now). While I agree with the author that capacitors are largely 'misunderstood and misused', this book does not do much to clarify matters in a concrete way.

A perfect reference manual December 4, 2000

This handbook is one of the original trilogy of electronic components by Mr. Kaiser. It pulls together in one manual the basic concepts and principles on capacitors and is an essential refernce manual for the electonics techinician as well as a core curriculum for the teacher.

Great reference book September 12, 2000

This is a great book for the design engineer. The book is unlike most on the subject, in that it covers the "real world" aspects of using capacitors. The book thoroughly covers the strengths and weaknesses of each type of capacitor as it relates to various applications. Highly recommended.
