However, existing electrolytic capacitors are easily subjected to impacts and pressure during production and use. The aluminum shell provides poor protection, and after being impacted or pressured, the aluminum shell is prone to deformation, causing misalignment of the insulating material and ultimately leading to a short circuit. Therefore, a short-circuit resistant electrolytic capacitor is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
