2. Heat-generation characteristics of capacitors In order to measure the heat-generation characteristics of a capacitor, the capacitor temperature must be measured in the condition with heat dissipation from the surface due to convection and radiation and heat dissipation due to heat transfer via the jig minimized.
If the ESR and current are known, the power dissipation and thus, the heat generated in the capacitor can be calculated. From this, plus the thermal resistance of the ca-pacitor and its external connections to a heat sink, it be-comes possible to determine the temperature rise above ambient of the capacitor.
1. Capacitor heat generation As electronic devices become smaller and lighter in weight, the component mounting density increases, with the result that heat dissipation performance decreases, causing the device temperature to rise easily.
Every 10° C increase in internal temperature halves the component lifetime. The structure and materials used in the capacitor make heat dissipation more difficult. To operate properly, the case must be electrically isolated from the core where heat is generated. The voltage breakdown of the insulation materials is often in excess of 350 volts DC.
As previously stated, the allow-able power dissipation can be determined by the knowledge of the thermal resistance Θcap, the equivalent series resistance ESR of the capacitor, the maximum allowable internal temperature and the maximum temperature that solder or epoxy on the ter-mination can tolerate without destruction.
In most cases, the primary thermal conduction path (the path of least resistance) is from the closed or flat end of the capacitor. Some heat also passes through the terminal end. Capacitor heat loads are small: typically 5 to 10 Watts in a 3 inch diameter capacitor.
