Capacitors

temperature coefficient

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

The change in capacitance with temperature expressed linearly as parts per million per degree centigrade (PPM/°C), or as a percent change over a specified temperature range. Most film capacitors are ...

thermal conductivity

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

Ability of a material to conduct heat.

thermal expansion (coefficient of transients)

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

The fractional change in length (sometimes volume) of a material for a unit change in temperature.

transients

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

High voltage surges through an electrical system caused by lightning strikes to nearby transformers, overhead lines, or the ground. May also be caused by switching of motors and compressors, as well ...

ul (underwriters' laboratories, inc)

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

Laboratory that sets safety standards for building materials, electrical appliances, and other products.

ultra broadband capacitor (UBC)

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

A tiny box shaped component that provides ultra-low insertion loss, flat frequency response and an excellent match over multiple octaves of frequency spectrum in a one piece configuration.

ultracapacitors

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

Also known as supercapacitor, or electrochemical capacitor, or electric double layer capacitor (EDLC). Made from carbon aerogel, carbon nanotubes, or highly porous electrode materials. Extremely high ...
