SMDs, i.e. SMT components, by their nature are very different to the traditional leaded components. They can be split into a number of categories:

• Passive SMDs
• Transistors
• Integrated circuits

Capacitors naturally wear out after extended periods of use. Most capacitors are designed to operate for several thousand hours. Here is the projected lifespan for a typical capacitor, rated for 4,000 hours of operation at an average core temperature of 167 degrees Fahrenheit (75℃).

Capacitors on a motherboard are used to absorb spikes in electrical current and to smooth the flow of power on the motherboard, protecting all of the computer’s components.

Voltage to Current Convertor

When driving the input (base) of a transistor gain stage:
you must convert the input voltage to a current by using  a voltage to current convertor --a resistor.

Current to Voltage Convertor

When deriving a voltage from the collector of a transistor amplifier stage:
you convert the output (collector) current into a voltage by using a Current to Voltage convertor in the collector circuit--you  guessed it--a resistor.

Polarized fixed capacitor

A polarized ("polar") capacitor is a type of capacitor that have implicit polarity -- it can only be connected one way in a circuit. The positive lead is shown on the schematic (and often on the capacitor) with a little "+" symbol. The negative lead is generally not shown on the schematic, but may be marked on the capacitor with a bar or "-" symbol. Polarized capacitors are generally electrolytics.

Note that you really need to pay attention to correctly hooking a polarized capacitor up (both with respect to polarity, as well as not pushing a capacitor past its rated voltage). If you "push" a polarized capacitor hard enough, it is possible to begin "electrolyzing" the moist electrolyte. Modern electrolytic capacitors usually have a pressure relief vent to prevent catastrophic failure of the aluminum can (but don't bet your eyesight on this).

A capacitor is an electronic device for storing charge. Capacitors can be found in almost any complex electronic device. They are second only to resistors in their There are many different types of capacitor but they all work in essentially the same way. A simplified view of a capacitor is a pair of metal plates separated by a gap in which there is an insulating material known as the dielectric. This simplified capacitor is also chosen as the electronic circuit symbol for a capacitor is a pair of parallel plates as shown .

When a capacitor discharges its charge throught a resistor, the charge of the capacitor decreases with time. The decreasing charge follows an exponential decay curve.

A super capacitor is also known as a double-layer capacitor. It polarizes an electrolytic solution to store energy electro statically. Though it is an electrochemical device, no chemical reactions are involved in its energy storage mechanism. This mechanism is highly reversible, and allows the ultra capacitor to be charged and discharged hundreds of thousands of times.

A super capacitor can be viewed as two non reactive porous plates, or collectors, suspended within an electrolyte, with a voltage potential applied across the collectors. In an individual super capacitor cell, the applied potential on the positive electrode attracts the negative ions in the electrolyte, while the potential on the negative electrode attracts the positive ions. A dielectric separator between the two electrodes prevents the charge from moving between the two electrodes.
