What is a soldering Star capacitor?

The soldering star capacitor and the axial-lead design with double-sided plates provide high vibra-tion stability even without additional clamping on the PCB, thanks to the rugged plates (negative terminals) welded to the capacitor case.

Why is Panasonic a vibration-proof capacitor?

Vibration resistance is also greatly enhanced by the Panasonic anti-vibration features along with the reduced height, volume and weight. Applications, where vibration resistance is critical, are becoming more common and manufacturer Panasonic is responding with vibration-proof components in their capacitor ranges.

What is the risk of vibration damage to a capacitor?

There is most risk of vibration damage to capacitors in applications where high μF values are used where the parts are physically large, often with many paralleled. Examples would be in DC-link connections in inverters or motor controllers or output filters in high power AC-DC and DC-DC converters.

What is an example of a vibration plate?

The walls of industrial ducts, ship hauls, rectangular bins and aircraft wings are examples of such plates. The vibration of rectangular plates has gained the attention of many researchers in the past decades. Structural vibration analysis involves studying the vibration properties of any structure that is subjected to any form of vibrating force.

Can a capacitor be mounted without a fixation on the PCB?

When the capacitor is mounted without any fixation on the PCB, or in case of high vibra-tion applications with common fixation on the PCB using special holders, potting or gluing, this will lead to additional vibration between the wire leads and the capacitor body as well as between the wire leads and the PCB.

Why do rectangular plates need a vibration-induced limit state?

While the main aspects of the structural design of rectangular plates are the load-deformation and load-stress behavior, vibration-induced limit states such as fatigue and loosening of connections might cause unforeseen deficiencies during the service life of the structure if it is prone to resonance with the applied dynamic loads.
