These factors must be considered when selecting capacitors for many bypass applications or applications where the actual capacitance of the capacitor is important. Improper capacitor selection can result in circuit instability, excessive noise or power dissipation, shortened product life, and unpredictable circuit behavior.
Capacitive Technology
Capacitors come in a variety of sizes, voltage ratings, and other characteristics to meet the specific requirements of different applications. Commonly used dielectric materials include oil, paper, glass, air, mica, various polymer films, and metal oxides. Each electrolyte has a set of specific properties to meet the unique needs of each application.
