Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitors (Hybrid type)
Which is the failure mode of PZ-CAP?
It is open mode.
However if excessive voltage, excessive ripple current or reverse voltage is applied to the capacitor, the capacitor may short-circuit. It is the same as for non-solid electrolytic capacitor.
Is voltage derating necessary?
It is no need of voltage derating for PZ-CAP.
You can apply up to the rated voltage within the specified condition.
How long is the life of PZ-CAP?
The life of PZ-CAP depends on operating temperature and heating with ripple current.
Some item is different from the electrolyte type of life estimation.
