Capacitors

dispersion

Electronic components; Capacitors

Finely divided particles in suspension in another substance.

displacement current

Electronic components; Capacitors

A current which exists in addition to ordinary conduction current in ACcircuits. It is proportional to the rate of change of the electric field.

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 ...

tensile strength

Electronic components; Capacitors

The pulling stress required to break a given specimen.

thermal conductivity

Electronic components; Capacitors

Ability of a material to conduct heat.

thermal endurance

Electronic components; Capacitors

The time at a selected temperature for an insulating material or system of materials to deteriorate to some predetermined level of electrical, mechanical, or chemical performance under prescribed ...
