  2. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    Microelectromechanical systems suffer from various types of failures: Stiction causing moving parts to stick; an external impulse sometimes restores functionality. Non-stick coatings, reduction of contact area, and increased awareness mitigate the problem in contemporary systems. [9] Particles migrating in the system and blocking their movements.

  3. Capacitor plague - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague

    Failed aluminium electrolytic capacitors with open vents in the top of the can, and visible dried electrolyte residue (reddish-brown color) The capacitor plague was a problem related to a higher-than-expected failure rate of non-solid aluminium electrolytic capacitors between 1999 and 2007, especially those from some Taiwanese manufacturers, [1] [2] due to faulty electrolyte composition that ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Capacitor_plague

    Swollen but not exploded caps are hot to the touch indicating a internal current leak. Think firecracker about to explode or vent. Looking at a system powered on with the case off is not safe. Acidic electrolyte and a can aimed at your eye for example. Just the spray from the top vent opening can 'paint' the case cover with electrolyte.

  5. Leakage (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leakage_(electronics)

    The current that flows through these capacitors is due to the capacitors' impedance at power line frequencies. [6] [7] Some amount of leakage current is generally considered acceptable, however excessive leakage current, exceeding 30 mA, can create a hazard for users of the equipment. In some applications, e.g. medical devices with patient ...

  6. Dissipation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissipation_factor

    The loss tangent is defined by the angle between the capacitor's impedance vector and the negative reactive axis. If the capacitor is used in an AC circuit, the dissipation factor due to the non-ideal capacitor is expressed as the ratio of the resistive power loss in the ESR to the reactive power oscillating in the capacitor, or

  7. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    Instantaneous current declines to steady-state current as the capacitor reaches full charge. In the case of open circuit, the capacitor will be charged to the peak AC voltage (one cannot actually charge a capacitor with AC line power, so this refers to a varying but unidirectional voltage; e.g., the voltage output from a rectifier).

  8. Bleeder resistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeder_resistor

    In electronics, a bleeder resistor, bleeder load, leakage resistor, capacitor discharge resistor or safety discharge resistor is a resistor connected in parallel with the output of a high-voltage power supply circuit for the purpose of discharging the electric charge stored in the power supply's filter capacitors when the equipment is turned off, for safety reasons.

  9. Dielectric absorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_absorption

    Dielectric absorption is the name given to the effect by which a capacitor, that has been charged for a long time, discharges only incompletely when briefly discharged.. Although an ideal capacitor would remain at zero volts after being discharged, real capacitors will develop a small voltage from time-delayed dipole discharging, [1] a phenomenon that is also called dielectric relaxation ...
