6 FAQs about [Abnormal capacitor charging]

What causes a capacitor to fail?

And it depends on the type of capacitor, but factors that can cause open failures include vibration and shock during mounting on the board and transportation, as well as placement of the device on the board. When a capacitor fails a short circuit (Figure 3), DC current flows through the capacitor and the shorted capacitor behaves like a resistor.

What causes a capacitor to bulge outward?

Normally, the top of these capacitors is flat, but as they fail, the top can dome or bulge outward. Causes: This bulging is typically due to gas buildup inside the capacitor. The gas is produced when the electrolyte inside the capacitor begins to break down due to overheating, overvoltage, or age-related wear.
