In electronic devices, capacitors are indispensable components, and the stability and reliability of their performance directly affect the operation of the entire device.
However, there are many counterfeit capacitors on the market, known as “three no” capacitors, which lack production dates, quality certificates, and manufacturer information.
These “three no” capacitors have poor quality and lack safety, posing significant risks to users, especially safety capacitors.
Safety capacitors are designed to protect circuits and personal safety. Their production process is rigorous, and they comply with safety standards. Even if they fail, they won’t cause electric shocks or endanger personal safety. They are used in power filters to filter out interference from power sources.
Counterfeit safety capacitors usually lack strict quality inspection and certification, so their electrical performance, operational performance, and service life cannot be guaranteed.
During use, dangerous situations such as leakage, short circuits, and explosions may occur, posing a serious threat to users’ personal safety and property.
Therefore, it is important to know how to avoid these counterfeit safety capacitors and choose high-quality and stable performance safety capacitors.
Purchase through legitimate channels
Legitimate channels have strict screening mechanisms and product quality inspection processes, ensuring the quality of safety capacitors.
Consumers can choose to purchase safety capacitors in large electronic markets, well-known e-commerce platforms, or brand stores. Products from these channels have clear sources, good quality, and after-sales service guarantees.
Don’t be tempted by low prices
When purchasing capacitors, don’t just look at the price; consider the performance of safety capacitors for a comprehensive comparison. Capacitors with excessively low prices may have poor quality, while those with excessively high prices may not necessarily have superior quality.
Therefore, consumers should choose safety capacitors with high cost performance based on their own needs and budget.
Check safety capacitor markings and certifications
Legitimate capacitor products usually have corresponding certification marks, such as UL, CE, TUV, etc. These certification marks indicate that safety capacitors comply with safety standards and quality standards.
These three points can help consumers reduce the risk of purchasing counterfeit safety capacitors, ensuring the normal operation of electronic devices and the safety of consumers.
