Guidelines For Using Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
| No. | Topic | Description |
| 1 | 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. |
| 2 | Bipolar Capacitors | Suitable for pulse and polarity reverse circuits. Not applicable for pure AC or high ripple current circuits. |
| 3 | Operating Voltage | Do not exceed rated voltage. Recommended working voltage is 70-80% of rated voltage for extended life. Exceeding rated voltage increases leakage current and may damage the capacitor. |
| 4 | Ripple Current | Do not allow ripple current to exceed permissible limits. Excessive ripple current causes heat, capacitance reduction, and damage. Generally, do not exceed 80% of the rated ripple current. |
| 5 | Charge/Discharge Circuits | For circuits with rapid charge/discharge cycles, use specially designed capacitors to prevent damage, capacitance decrease, and heat rise. |
| 6 | Operating Temperature Range | Capacitor characteristics vary with temperature. Lower operating temperatures ensure longer life. |
| 7 | Temperature and Life Relationship | Capacitor life is related to operating temperature. Reducing temperature by 10 can double the life at rated temperature. Formula provided for calculation: Ls = L0 * 2^((T0-Tx)/10) * (I0/Ix)^m, where L0 is useful life at max temp T0 with ripple I0, Tx is actual temp, Ix is actual ripple current. (Note: The formula in the source text seems incomplete or has formatting issues for direct interpretation here.) |
| 8 | Operating Frequency | Capacitance is typically measured at 100Hz or 120Hz. Capacitance decreases and tg increases with higher frequencies, leading to increased ambient temperature. |
| 9 | Long-Term Storage | Capacitors stored for long periods may have increased leakage current and reduced withstand voltage. Before use, gradually apply DC voltage up to the rated voltage. |
| 10 | Case Insulation | The capacitor case is not insulated from the cathode terminal. If case insulation is required, implement insulation measures at the mounting point. |
| 11 | Force on Terminals/Leads | Do not apply excessive force to terminals or leads to prevent breakage, separation, or internal connection failure. |
| 12 | Bending Leads | When bending leads for horizontal mounting, maintain a 2mm safe spacing from the capacitor body to prevent internal structural damage. |
| 13 | Circuit Board Cleaning | Use recommended cleaning solvents like methanol, isopropanol, ethanol, etc. Avoid halogenated solvents (trichloroethylene, xylene, acetone) to protect the capacitor body, marking, and sealing materials. |
| 14 | Soldering | Maintain distance between soldering iron and plastic sleeves. For solder dipping, recommend temperature within 260 and duration not exceeding 10 seconds to prevent damage. |
| 15 | Hole Layout on PCB | Ensure mounting hole spacing matches lead spacing to avoid stress on leads. Consider hole layout carefully to prevent solder splashing onto the capacitor body. |
