  2. 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 ...

  3. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

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

    Structurally, capacitors consist of electrodes separated by a dielectric, connecting leads, and housing; deterioration of any of these may cause parameter shifts or failure. Shorted failures and leakage due to increase of parallel parasitic resistance are the most common failure modes of capacitors, followed by open failures.

  5. Electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_capacitor

    From 1999 through at least 2010, a stolen recipe for such a water-based electrolyte, in which important stabilizers [47] [48] were absent, [49] led to the widespread problem of "bad caps" (failing electrolytic capacitors), leaking or occasionally bursting in computers, power supplies, and other electronic equipment, which became known as the ...

  6. Aluminum electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Aluminum_electrolytic_capacitor

    From 2000 to 2005, a stolen recipe of such a water-based electrolyte missing important stabilizing substances [18] [20] [36] led to the problem of mass-bursting capacitors in computers and power supplies, which became known as the "Capacitor Plague". In these capacitors the water reacts quite aggressively and even violently with aluminum ...

  7. Flyback transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyback_transformer

    The flyback transformer operates CRT-display devices such as television sets and CRT computer monitors. The voltage and frequency can each range over a wide scale, depending on the device. For example, a large color TV CRT may require 20 to 50 kV with a horizontal scan rate of 15.734 kHz for NTSC devices and 15.625 kHz for PAL devices.
