Before we turn the page to a new year, let’s revisit the five blogs that captured the most attention in 2025.
1. Taking Big Steps on Our Journey as a Premier Industrial Technology Company
In 2024, we took bold strides on our journey to become an industrial technology company dedicated to providing customers with the high-performance parts required for their most demanding applications. First, we made the strategic acquisition of Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE), adding a broad range of high-performance film, electrolytic, and mica capacitors to our extensive range of ceramic and thin film components. We also sold our consumer MEMS-microphone business, allowing us to deepen our focus on our growth markets: MedTech, defense, and industrial. Read more.
2. Specifying Capacitors for High-Energy Pulse Applications
Energy storage capacitor banks are needed to supply pulsed power in high-current applications. As the technology behind capacitor banks advances with more precise switching and higher energy density, fast discharge capacitors can reliably support more advanced applications. Check out our deep dive into the questions you need to consider to address the crucial factors that influence capacitor performance, reliability, and longevity in high-energy pulse applications.

3. How Ceramic Capacitor Assemblies Improve Efficiency in Power and RF Applications
By utilizing stacked configurations and advanced dielectric materials, capacitor assemblies optimize performance in power conversion and radio frequency (RF) signal management. These assemblies are designed to meet the demands of power electronics and RF applications, where stability, efficiency, and compact design are important factors. Read more.
4. How High-Q Ceramic Filters Help Engineers Overcome GNSS Jamming
As engineers embed receivers for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), like GPS and Galileo, into systems ranging from autonomous vehicles to precision agriculture, the RF environment is becoming more crowded, and it’s more difficult to maintain signal integrity. High-Q ceramic bandpass filters present a technical opportunity to build jamming-resistant GNSS for mission-critical applications. Read more.
5. Introducing Knowles’ High-Q Ceramic-Core Inductors
Alongside capacitors, inductors are essential components in RF and microwave applications. Ceramic core inductors provide stable inductance values, ensuring consistent performance across a broad frequency range. These qualities make them ideal for applications where low loss and high efficiency at high frequency are critical. Read more.
As we head into 2026, we remain committed to providing you with both high-reliability solutions and the insights you need to be successful with your demanding defense, medtech, and industrial applications.
