All Solid Capacitors
Capacitors are the most important component for electronic product's power supply.
The quality of the capacitors can impact the stability of the entire system and risk of
product failure. Currently there are two types of capacitors, electrolytic capacitors and
solid capacitors. Compared to electrolytic capacitors, solid capacitors have a longer lifespan,
and provide a more stable power under high temperatures. More importantly, solid capacitors do
not have any liquid materials inside, and thus will not suffer a leak which would infringe upon
the products stability. With such benefits is it no wonder that solid capacitors are very
important for product quality's improvement.
