  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.

  4. Two capacitor paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_capacitor_paradox

    Another equivalent version is a single charged capacitor short circuited by a perfect conductor. In these cases in the final state the entire charge has been neutralized, the final voltage on the capacitors is zero, so the entire initial energy has vanished. The solutions to where the energy went are similar to those described in the previous ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Parasitic capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_capacitance

    At low frequencies parasitic capacitance can usually be ignored, but in high frequency circuits it can be a major problem. In amplifier circuits with extended frequency response, parasitic capacitance between the output and the input can act as a feedback path, causing the circuit to oscillate at high frequency.

    Download all attachments in a single zip file, or download individual attachments. While this is often a seamless process, you should also be aware of how to troubleshoot common errors. Emails with attachments can be identified with Attachment icon in the message preview from the inbox.

  8. Leakage (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    Leakage may also mean an unwanted transfer of energy from one circuit to another. For example, magnetic lines of flux will not be entirely confined within the core of a power transformer; another circuit may couple to the transformer and receive some leaked energy at the frequency of the electric mains, which will cause audible hum in an audio application.

    It has apparently been a similar story behind the scenes, as ESPN reported Butler has indeed indicated to the Heat he wants a trade. He reportedly did not provide a list of preferred destinations ...
