Capacitors

Tracking

Electronic components; Capacitors

Scintillation of the surface of an insulator, may produce enough heat to leave a degraded track of carbon.

Transients

Electronic components; Capacitors

High voltage surges through an electrical system caused by lightning strikes to nearby transformers, overhead lines, or the ground. May also be caused by switching of motors and compressors, as well ...

UL (Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc)

Electronic components; Capacitors

Laboratory that sets safety standards for building materials, electrical appliances, and other products.

Yield strength

Electronic components; Capacitors

The lowest stress at which a material undergoes plastic deformation. Below this stress, the material is elastic; above it, viscous.

Volt

Electronic components; Capacitors

Unit of Electromotive Force. It is the difference of potential required to make a current of one ampere flow through a resistance of one ohm.

Viscosity

Electronic components; Capacitors

A measure of the resistance of a fluid to flow (usually through a specific orifice).

Vinyl resin

Electronic components; Capacitors

A synthetic resin formed by the polymerization of compounds containing the group CH2 = CH-.
