Technical Specifications
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Polarity | DC electrolytic capacitors are polarized. Ensure correct polarity to prevent short circuits or damage. Use bipolar capacitors if polarity is uncertain. DC electrolytic capacitors are not suitable for AC applications. |
| Bipolar Capacitors | Suitable for pulse circuits and polarity reverse circuits only. Not applicable for pure AC or high ripple current circuits. |
| Voltage Usage | 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. |
| Ripple Current | Do not allow excessive ripple current. Exceeding permissible limits causes heating, capacitance reduction, and damage. Ripple current should generally not exceed 80% of the rated value. |
| Fast Charge/Discharge Circuits | Use specially designed capacitors for circuits with frequent charge and discharge cycles to prevent damage, capacitance decrease, and heat rise. |
| Operating Temperature | Capacitor characteristics vary with temperature. Lower operating temperatures ensure longer life. |
| Temperature vs. Life | Capacitor life is temperature-dependent. Reducing operating temperature by 10 can double its life compared to rated temperature. Calculation formula provided. |
| Operating Frequency | Capacitance is typically measured at 100Hz or 120Hz. Capacitance decreases and tg increases with higher frequencies, leading to increased ambient temperature. |
| Long-Term Storage | Capacitors stored for extended periods may experience increased leakage current and reduced withstand voltage. Before use, apply rated DC voltage gradually to the rated voltage. |
| Case Insulation | The capacitor case is not insulated from the cathode terminal. If case insulation is required, implement insulation at the mounting point. |
| Terminal/Lead Force | Do not apply excessive force to terminals or leads to prevent breakage, separation, or internal connection failure. |
| Bending Leads | When bending leads for horizontal mounting, maintain a 2mm safe spacing from the capacitor body to avoid internal structural damage. |
| Circuit Board Cleaning | Clean circuit boards using recommended solvents (Methanol, isopropanol, ethanol, isobutanol, petroleum ether, propane, commercial detergents). Avoid halogenated solvents like trichlorethylene, xylene, or acetone to protect the capacitor body. |
| Soldering | Maintain distance between soldering iron and the plastic sleeve. For solder dipping, recommended temperature is within 260 for no more than 10 seconds to prevent component damage. |
| Hole Layout | Ensure mounting hole spacing on printed circuit boards matches lead spacing to avoid stress on leads. Consider hole layout carefully to prevent solder splashing onto the capacitor body. |
