My DOG just swallowed a 470uF electrolytic cap (SMD type)

<< < (12/15) > >>

golden_labels:
See the attached photo. That’s a hot dog sausage(1), which had a CR2032 inserted into it for 3 hours, though noticeable damage was already present after the first hour. That is due to electric current alone: no leak from the battery and no heat damage (everything was sitting below 22°C in 24°C ambient).

A hot dog sausage is not representing human body well,(citation needed) but I the picture is giving the right idea about the kind of damage you may expect in esophagus and intestines.

(1) EAN-13: 5900567001753

These caps are suddenly not cool. Had one trying to murder me 6 months ago. Had a 16V on a 24V rail (careless mistake) and it exploded like a nuke 2 feet away from my face.
Still picking up its paper internal here and there still today. Then boom, the dog thinks it's a treat and throat it down like a pcs of cheese.
We're haunted by the Evil Caps it seems

Hope y'all had a good laugh with this canine eeAdventure. I certainly did, in a way!

I used to allow our cats in the lab until one day one of those capacitors exploded quite next to one of them. I also don't allow them in the kitchen while I'm cooking. Lab and kitchen are dangerous places.

I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. Now I can't un-see it! Thanks for that.

Give him a diode to swallow too.
That should rectify the problem.

Like Civet cat coffee - this cap was organically selected for low ESR - effective stomach resistance
