Abstract:
A method of reforming a wet-tantalum capacitor is disclosed. The method comprises charging the capacitor to a voltage that is substantially less than one of a maximum and rated voltage for the capacitor. The method also comprises providing an open circuit condition and allowing the capacitor to at least partially discharge through leakage current.
