Electrolytic Capacitor Selection for Power Supply Applications
Electrolytic capacitor for power supply systems plays a critical role in smoothing, filtering, and energy storage. These capacitors are widely used in switching power supplies, industrial power modules, and control power systems.
Common failure modes in power supply electrolytic capacitors include high temperature stress, excessive ripple current, and insufficient voltage derating.
To ensure reliability, engineers should consider voltage margin, ripple current rating, temperature class, and lifetime when selecting electrolytic capacitors for power supply applications.
Leaded capacitors are commonly used in low to medium power supplies, while snap-in capacitors are preferred for higher power designs requiring larger capacitance.
LORIDA provides aluminum electrolytic capacitors for power supply applications, supporting stable performance in demanding industrial environments.
