Hello, I have a few questions regarding some of the specifications found on capacitor datasheets.
1.) Which specification of capacitors is more important, endurance or rated ripple? Nichicon HE capacitors have a higher endurance rating than HZ, so wouldn't they be better?
2.) Not all data sheets list esr, so how can I tell what capacitor would be better than another one?
3.) Nichicon HZ capacitors have a higher ripple rating than Rubycon MCZ capacitors, so would the nichicon HZ be better than the Rubycon in this case?
4.) Also, what range would be considered a good esr reading, and what range would be considered bad?
Thanks for taking the time to review my post!
