Technical Specifications
| Item | Description |
| Polarity | DC electrolytic capacitors are polarized. Ensure correct polarity to avoid short circuits or damage. Use bipolar capacitors if polarity is uncertain. Not suitable for AC applications. |
| Bipolar Capacitors | Suitable for pulse circuits and polarity reverse circuits. Not applicable for pure AC or high ripple current circuits. |
| Voltage Rating | Do not exceed rated voltage. Recommended working voltage is 70-80% of rated voltage for extended life. |
| Ripple Current | Do not allow ripple current to exceed permissible limits (generally not more than 80% of rated value) to prevent overheating, capacitance reduction, and damage. |
| Charge/Discharge Circuits | Use specially designed capacitors for circuits with rapid charge and discharge cycles to prevent damage, capacitance decrease, and heat rise. |
| Operating Temperature | Capacitor characteristics vary with temperature. Lower temperatures generally ensure longer life. |
| Temperature & Life Relationship | Life is approximately doubled for every 10C reduction in temperature from the maximum operating temperature. Formula provided for calculation. |
| Operating Frequency | Capacitance is typically measured at 100Hz or 120Hz. Capacitance decreases and tg increases with higher frequencies, potentially increasing ambient temperature. |
| Long-Term Storage | Capacitors stored for extended periods may have increased leakage current and reduced withstand voltage. Apply rated DC voltage gradually before use. |
| Case Insulation | The capacitor case is not insulated from the cathode terminal. Insulation measures are required at the mounting point if case insulation is necessary. |
| Terminal/Lead Force | Avoid applying excessive force to terminals and leads to prevent breakage, separation, or internal connection failure. |
| Lead Bending | When bending leads for horizontal mounting, maintain a 2mm safe spacing from the capacitor body to prevent internal structural damage. |
| Circuit Board Cleaning | Use recommended cleaning solvents (Methanol, Isopropanol, Ethanol, etc.). Avoid halogenated solvents (trichlorethylene, xylene, acetone) to protect the capacitor body. |
| Soldering | Maintain distance from plastic sleeves. Recommended soldering temperature: within 260C for no more than 10 seconds to avoid component damage. |
| Hole Layout | Mounting hole spacing should match lead spacing. Improper spacing can cause stress on leads, short circuits, or damage. Consider hole layout carefully to prevent solder splashing onto the capacitor. |
