Technical Specifications
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Polarity | DC electrolytic capacitors are polarized. Ensure correct polarity to prevent short circuits or damage. Use bipolar capacitors for uncertain or non-fixed polarity. DC electrolytic capacitors are not suitable for AC applications. |
| Bipolar Capacitors Usage | Suitable for pulse circuits and polarity reverse circuits. Not applicable for pure AC or high ripple current circuits. |
| Voltage Rating | Do not apply voltage greater than the rated voltage. Recommended working voltage is 70-80% of rated voltage for extended lifespan. |
| Ripple Current | Do not allow ripple current to exceed the permissible limit, generally not more than 80% of the rated value. Excessive ripple current can cause heating, capacitance reduction, and damage. |
| Charge/Discharge Circuits | For circuits with rapid charge/discharge cycles, use specially designed capacitors to prevent damage, capacitance decrease, and heat rise. |
| Operating Temperature | Capacitor characteristics vary with temperature. Lower operating temperatures ensure longer life. |
| Temperature and Life Relationship | Generally, a 10 reduction in operating temperature doubles the capacitor's life compared to rated temperature. A formula is provided for calculation. |
| Operating Frequency | Capacitance is typically measured at 100Hz or 120Hz. Capacitance decreases and tg increases with higher frequencies, leading to increased ambient temperature. |
| Storage and Handling | Capacitors stored for extended periods may experience increased leakage current and reduced withstand voltage. Before use, apply rated DC voltage gradually. |
| 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. |
| Force on Terminals/Leads | Avoid applying excessive force to terminals and 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 prevent internal structural damage. |
| Circuit Board Cleaning | Use recommended cleaning solvents (Methanol, isopropanol, ethanol, etc.). Do not use halogenated agents or solvents like trichlorethylene, xylene, or acetone to protect the capacitor body. |
| Soldering | Maintain distance between soldering iron and plastic sleeve. For solder dipping, keep temperature within 260 and duration under 10 seconds to prevent damage. |
| 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. |
