Advances in the Environmental Performance of Polymer Capacitors

How to Manage Supercapacitors Leakage Current and Self Discharge 

Qualification of Commercial Supercapacitors for Space Applications

SERMA TECHNOLOGIES is presenting failure statistics of all return parts analyzed during the last 5 years. For each family of passives components ( ceramic, tantalum, film capacitors and resistors) , percentage of defect will be given. The origin of defect (suppliers, board assembly process, or environment ) will also be discussed. Specific technics was also developed to address precise failure mode : for example, voltage contrast was developed for ceramic capacitors to state on inhomogeneous dielectric materials defect.
