Safety Certified capacitors are designed to withstand high impulse voltages in applications where human beings might be exposed to voltage surges.
X2Y capacitors excel in low inductance performance for a myriad of applications including EMI/RFI filtering, power supply bypass / decoupling.
Soldering temperature profiles used must provide adequate temperature rise time and cool-down time to prevent damage due to thermal shock.
Historically the volume Dc-Dc converter market has been driven by telecommunications equipment powered by 48V isolated “Brick” DC/DC converters.
Historically, Tantalum capacitors have been used for smoothing and decoupling applications for switching power supplies, DC/DC converters, LCD drivers and general digital circuits.
X2Y capacitors are capable of extraordinary EMI Filtering performance when effectively applied to the PCB.
Soldering temperature profiles used must provide adequate temperature rise time and cool-down time to prevent damage due to thermal shock.
High voltage capacitors are used for isolation and transient protection in electronics that are connected to either phone lines using modems or Ethernet connections.
The X2Y Capacitor is a four terminal component consisting of two capacitors, A & B, each sharing a common connection at terminals G1 & G2.
Capacitors are usually rated in terms of DC voltage. This rating means that the part can be expected to operate reliably on a long-term basis.
Understanding conorna interactions between PWB and components is essential to design board layouts that are robust with minimum corona related failures during HiPot testing and operation in a system.
This years arcing season is just now fading into bad memories as another year is past but knowing that a new season is just a Monsoon away.
Cracked capacitors can manifest themselves as latent defects including increased leakage current, intermittent opens, shorts or no problem found when field returned assemblies are analyzed.
