Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is market for capacitor, electrolyte type, < 2cm height. The Reference Product is capacitor, electrolyte type, < 2cm height. This is an electric component usually soldered to a printed wiring board (PWB) in electronic circuits. A capacitor stores electrical energy in an electric field between at least two electrical conductors. Electrolyte capacitors consist on an insulating oxide layer and an electrolyte in solid, liquid or gel form. For this product it is assumed that a typical small electrolyte capacitor has an average weight of 1.29 g. This product represents electrolyte capacitors smaller than 2cm. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity.
