Capacitors AC Power

Below is a list of technical and application notes relevant to Johanson Dielectrics AC Power Capacitors.

Title	Purpose / Key Insight
AC Power Computations for DC Rated Caps	Explains how to calculate the safe AC voltage and power dissipation when using capacitors rated for DC. Shows how dielectric losses generate heat at AC frequencies, potentially leading to failure if not accounted for.
PCB Pad Layout Recommendations	Covers pad sizes, spacing, and solder fillet control to ensure reliable solder joints. Includes guidance on minimizing mechanical stress that can cause capacitor cracking during reflow or handling.
Recommended Storage Conditions	Lists environmental requirements for long-term capacitor storage before assembly. Emphasizes humidity and temperature control to prevent oxidation or degradation.
Part Number Explanation	Breaks down Johanson’s capacitor part numbering system into clear segments. Each section of the code represents attributes such as dielectric, capacitance value, tolerance, case size, termination, and voltage rating.
