Why electrolytic capacitors blow up

September 30, 2020 By Lee Teschler

Electrolytic capacitors have a reputation for failing spectacularly when mistreated. Leland Teschler • Executive Editor Pop open a common LED bulb and you’ll often find an electrolytic capacitor occupying a place in the input from the ac line. Though illumination-grade LEDs generally have lifetimes exceeding 10,000 hours, the electrolytic caps in their base may not […]

First online custom catalog generator

March 3, 2016 By Abby Esposito Leave a Comment

As manufacturers have gradually phased out printed catalogs, replaced instead by parametric search tools and downloadable PDF data sheets, there has been an outcry for something more. With that in mind, Illinois Capacitor has developed an on-line tool that allows engineers to create their own customized PDF catalogs. A catalog can include just the product […]
