Electrolytic capacitor for power component circuit - has reflective plastics foil applied to outside surface of capacitor housing

摘要

The electrolytic capacitor has a cylindrical capacitor housing (5) with its outside surface allowing reflection of the heat radiation received by the capacitor. pref the outside surface of the capacitor housing (5) has an applied plastics foil with a heat reflective surface (6). The plastics foil may cover selected areas of the outside surface of the capacitor housing, the remaining areas allowing the heat generated by the capacitor to be dissipated. ADVANTAGE - Allows capacitor to be positioned closed to power components.
