The high-voltage ceramic capacitors on computer motherboards age due to long-term use, causing explosions that have become a common problem in the computer repair industry. Depending on the frequency of computer use and maintenance, the degree of explosion of high-voltage ceramic capacitors will vary. Slight explosions may not directly cause computer failure, but severe explosions may cause frequent computer problems or even failure to start.
On computer motherboards, various types of capacitors perform their own duties, but the faults of high-voltage ceramic capacitors are particularly prominent. So, what exactly causes the high-voltage ceramic capacitors on computer motherboards to frequently explode?
First of all, when the temperature of the motherboard is overheated, it will cause the internal electrolyte to expand due to heat. When it exceeds the boiling point, it will cause the high-voltage ceramic capacitor to expand and burst. In addition, if the computer has not been used for a long time, the electrolyte will easily react chemically with the aluminum oxide, which may cause the motherboard to explode once the motherboard is powered on.
Possible reasons for explosion of high-voltage ceramic capacitors include:
1. Storage time issue: The performance of high-voltage ceramic capacitors stored for a long time may change.
2. Poor heat dissipation: Even high-voltage ceramic capacitors with good quality may exceed their rated temperature range under long-term high-temperature working conditions, causing the electrolyte volume to increase and even generate bubbles, eventually leading to explosion.
3. The voltage of the power supply part is too high: Exceeding the withstand voltage range of the capacitor will cause the temperature of the electrolyte to rise, causing explosion.
To prevent these problems, it is recommended to pay attention to product quality when selecting high-voltage ceramic capacitors and conduct aging tests. Zhixu Electronics specializes in the production of high-voltage ceramic capacitors and has 30 years of experience. It has complete product specifications and advanced production equipment.
