Identified by a scourge of electrolytic capacitors violently exploding ... ultimately leading to build-up of pressure and the capacitor ultimately failing in a way that could be rather benign ...

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are constructed with foils placed on opposite sides of paper saturated with an electrolyte. This electrolyte evaporates over the capacitor’s lifetime, altering its ...

New Yorker Electronics has announced the release of a new ultra-thin polymer electrolytic capacitor that represents a totally new capacitor form factor. The Cornell Dubilier Electronics’ PPC Series, ...

According to the university, “the new capacitor is at least four times smaller than current electrolytic capacitors and is several times faster [at charging and discharging] than current ceramic ...

In normal operation, when the P-channel MOSFET Q1 is on, the flag PFO is low and the electrolytic capacitor array C STORAGE is charged to 40V. When the input voltage is interrupted, the LTC3643 turns ...
