Abstract: Electrolytic capacitors are notorious for short lifetimes in high-temperature applications such as LED light bulbs. The careful selection of these devices with proper interpretation of their ...
Offering a capacitance range from 68 to 820 µF, the 093 PMG-SI family of aluminum electrolytic capacitors feature a 2,000-hour useful lifetime rating at 85°C. The capacitors come in 400-, 420-, and ...
Intelligent control is increasingly used in automotive devices where electric drives are now specified for power steering units, water pumps, and air-conditioning compressors. The automotive ...
Although not all applications are safety critical or mission critical, reliability is still a vital consideration for many electronic products. Making informed choices at the component selection stage ...
What causes the degradation of aluminum electrolytic capacitors in power-supply designs? What is ripple current and how can it influence capacitors in power-conversion circuits? Step-by-step ...
