Capacitors
Electron
Electronic components; Capacitors
That portion of an atom, which circles around the center, or nucleus. An electron possesses a negative electric charge, and is the smallest charge of electricity known.
Encapsulating
Electronic components; Capacitors
Enclosing an article in a closed envelope of plastic or other material.
Epoxy resins
Electronic components; Capacitors
Straight-chain thermoplastics and thermosetting resins based on ethylene oxide, its derivatives or homologs.
Equivalent series resistance (ESR)
Electronic components; Capacitors
A resistive element of the capacitor model found in both the AC and DC domains. Contributing factors: electrodes, leads, dielectric. This value can change with frequency, time, etc. A measure of the ...
Farad
Electronic components; Capacitors
Unit of capacitance. The capacitance of a capacitor which, when charged with one coulomb, gives a difference of a potential of one volt.
Fibre
Electronic components; Capacitors
A thread or threadlike structure such as comprises cellulose, wool, silk, or glass yarn.
Filler
Electronic components; Capacitors
A substance, often inert, added to a plastic to improve properties and/or decrease cost.
