Capacitor Leakage Current
Hi I'm leaning the capacitor world and I would like to know if the
Capacitor Leakage Current high or lower is better. which one?
Thank you

Re: Capacitor Leakage Current
Lower. Capacitors with high leakage current (or low insulation resistance) won't hold a voltage very well. -

In an audio circuit they can cause a high noise floor(hiss).sigpicThe Sky Is Falling

Re: Capacitor Leakage Current
I was checking the
nichicon UKA
I can't find the leakage on this cap
the UKA here don't have leakage on the datasheet. or even @ Mouser.com
and
nichicon UFW
has a Leakage Current: 3300 uA Mouser.com
the datasheet from both cap UKA and UFW looks almost the same accept the UFW that has 63v and 100v caps besides that its very identical.
can you guys give some light in my dark tunnel and tell me if both caps has the same leakage.
Thank you.Comment

Power Supplies should be boring: No loud noises, no bright flashes, and no bad smells.

Re: Capacitor Leakage Current
Capacitor leakage current is an important parameter in amplifier coupling circuits or in power supply circuits. Best choices for coupling and storage applications being Teflon and the other plastic capacitor types (polypropylene, polystyrene, etc) because the lower the dielectric constant, the higher the insulation resistance.Comment

Title:
Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition
Description:
During maintenance on an RTX 2070 SUPER Founders Edition, I found a capacitor lying on my desk after reassembly.
I did not notice it detaching, so I am unsure of its original location on the PCB.
Procedure performed:
- Removed backplate
- Cleaned heatsink and PCB with isopropyl alcohol + soft ESD brush
- Reapplied thermal compound
- Reassembled card
Observed behavior after reassembly:
- GPU powers on and operates normally under... -
When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.
Judging from above ESR Meter Table,I think It is necessary to replace this sms capacitor.So I visited local electronics shop,and I purchased 160v 2.2uf rubycon YK capacitor.
But when I browse through rubycon YK datasheet,I found that there is no ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf specification. But On the contrary, I found 39 mA ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf SMS capacitor.
Rubycon YK DataSheet (b... -
I'd like to start out by thanking this forum for providing the info to be able to repair my 15 year old CP1500AVRLCD UPS. Here is all the info I gathered during my trouble-shooting and re-capping.
Like clockwork, I've had to replace the SLA batteries every 4 years. It was about that time and the UPS was acting like it needed new batteries... randomly shutting off with AC present, not being able to charge fully, and poor runtime when AC was removed. So, I replaced the batteries but noticed that it was not charging properly.
I decided to verify that the batteries were... -
Hi, I'm super new to this capacitor stuff but I've some basic soldering experience with old cellphones PCBs and headphones. I have this APAQ AR5K 820∆μF 3V Dc Capacitor from a motherboard that I'm looking to replace, photos I've attached. But I'm unable to find a 3V one like I've marked in the spec sheet in red (This is the one currently present in the motherboard). But the 6.3V one I can find (marked in blue) is of similar dimensions but different specs as mentioned in the table. Is it okay to replace it with higher voltage cap, slightly higher ESR, slightly lower ripple current, and double... -
I have a battery operated tab welder and the battery does not have enough current for the battery tab welder because after about 30 welded it does not have the same current output it voltage has gone down by at least 0.500 volts or maybe a more than that
I can fit 21700 battery cells in the enclosure it is very tight fit for four of them that are 35 amp high current capacity 35X4=140 high current output this should work a lot better than what is installed right now
I tested the battery cells there are installed right now and they are testing good with no issues that I...
