[Explanation of the Cause of Capacitor Failure] An electrolytic capacitor installed horizontally has burst.
A structure that eliminates the filler material and fixes the element with ribs has been adopted! The installation method has been changed to be at the "12 o'clock position"!
We would like to introduce a case where a horizontally mounted screw terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor failed and the sealing part burst. The failed screw terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor was mounted horizontally with the pressure relief valve positioned at the "6 o'clock" direction. When a capacitor deteriorates or fails, the temperature of the capacitor element rises rapidly, causing gas to be generated inside. This capacitor uses a filler material to secure the element, and as the element temperature increases, this filler material softens and flows, blocking the pressure relief valve. As a result, the smooth operation of the pressure relief valve was hindered, leading to a crack in the sealing part. [Countermeasures] - Change the mounting method so that the pressure relief valve of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor is positioned at the "12 o'clock" direction. - Adopt a structure that secures the element with ribs instead of using filler material. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
