Why do capacitors explode?

Hello,
Capacitors are often the first electrical components to fail due to their low resistance to heat (even though some are more resistant than others). Even if your computer isn't overheating, it isn't always at room temperature; it operates at a certain temperature. Capacitors wear out continuously due to your computer's normal operating temperature, and sometimes they burst and stop functioning properly.

So even if your computer doesn't get very hot, the reason remains the same for me: heat.

You can watch videos on YouTube that explain this to you.

Hello
the explanation is hidden in the name "electrochemical"; there is a rolled aluminum coil confined in a tube of aluminum, along with a dielectric insulator soaked in an "acid". If the capacitor overheats too much, the "dielectric dries out" and the capacitor can no longer perform its function, it short-circuits, and since it is confined, it "explodes". This is not without danger in terms of consequences.
I had written this not long ago:
"an electrochemical capacitor (see Wikipedia) can explode, it is unfortunately common IF
it overheats, there was a short circuit from the rectifiers before the filtering capacitor, if its rated voltage, which is written on it, is exceeded, or too close (this is common with Chinese and Korean products), the list is long... In case of replacement of the faulty one, it is necessary to put for instance; a 30 volts service for an original 20/25. The problem that can arise then is the available space, like on the power supply boards of Samsung flat screen TVs, very flat. "I experienced back in the days of radios and electronic tubes, where the service voltages were high (300/450V DC) with filtering capacitors on power supplies equipped with "valves" similar to pressure cookers! In case of a short circuit, the valve prevented the risky projection of the aluminum tube containing the capacitor. Unfortunately, this branded and secured product was relatively expensive and was reserved for so-called "professional" equipment. Today we unfortunately encounter problems with an irrational use of capacitors that are found hot next to so-called power elements (for example, ballasts for power supply), poorly ventilated and always used at the limits of performance (rated voltage too close for low cost reasons). Consumables, when you hold us!
Cheers

Thank you for your information, because I would have never thought that simply heating a condo (even at 30°C if I understood correctly) could damage it.
