C 3.4 SOLID ALUMINUM ELECTROLYTICS (SAL) with MANGANESE DIOXIDE (obsolete capacitor technology) The SAL are aluminum electrolytic capacitors with anodic oxidized aluminum oxide as dielectric and with the semiconducting solid manganese dioxide as electrolyte. They are made of...

C 3.3 WET ALUMINUM ELECTROLYTICS C 3.3.1 Introduction Wet aluminum (Al) electrolytic capacitors continuously generate hydrogen gas under operation, even under a small residual charge. (note: if capacitors are stored voltage-free no hydrogen is being released during storage)....

C 3.2 CONCEPTS AND MEASUREMENTS C 3.2.1 The CV product The product CR x VR is called the CV product and is a measure of the charge quantity. CR is expressed in µF and VR in volt. The...

C 3 ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS Electrolytic capacitors are more complicated than electrostatic capacitors in their construction. The function of electrolyte is to provide electric connection to the first electrode with very high surface with fine structure and thus to...

C 2.12 OTHER INORGANIC DIELECTRICS C 2.12.1 Class 3 ceramics The headlined type of ceramic capacitor are also called barrier layer capacitor. It consists of sintered granules of titanium oxides with semiconductor properties. On the surface of every...

C 2.11 CERAMIC CAPACITORS CLASS 2 Ceramic Class 2 capacitors can be divided in two main groups, one with a moderate temperature dependence for the class - ΔC ≤ ±15% within the temperature range – and the other...
