Thermal Resistance of Snap-In Type Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor Attached to Heat Sink

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are standard components in power electronic equipment. Their performance and lifetime strongly depend on their operation temperature. Hence, controlling their temperature is essential for the reliable operation of the equipment. For standard snap-in type capacitors,...

Description
Summary:Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are standard components in power electronic equipment. Their performance and lifetime strongly depend on their operation temperature. Hence, controlling their temperature is essential for the reliable operation of the equipment. For standard snap-in type capacitors, which are common in low-power converters (
