5.3. Capacitors

The following parameters are extracted from manufacturer data:

  • Dielectric type (e.g. polyester, polypropylene, …)

  • Mechanical shape and dimensions

  • Mass

  • Capacitance

  • Maximum voltage

  • Admissible rms current with no frequency or temperature dependency

  • Equivalent series resistance (ESR) with no frequency or temperature dependency

  • Maximum internal temperature and internal-to-ambient thermal resistance if provided

Note

The current version of the capacitor library contains film capacitors only.
