Technical Specifications
| Item | Description |
| Polarity | DC electrolytic capacitors are polarized. Ensure correct polarity to avoid short circuits or damage. Use bipolar capacitors when polarity is not fixed or determined. 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 apply voltage greater than the rated voltage. Recommended working voltage is 70-80% of rated voltage for extended lifespan. |
| Ripple Current | Do not allow excessive ripple current. Exceeding the permissible limit can cause heating, capacitance reduction, and damage. Generally, ripple current should not exceed 80% of the rated value. |
| Fast Charge/Discharge Circuits | Use specially designed capacitors for circuits with rapid, repeated 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 related to operating temperature. Generally, a 10 reduction in temperature doubles the lifespan at rated temperature. Formula 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. |
| Long-Term Storage | 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 connected to the cathode terminal through the electrolyte. If insulation is required, implement it 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 distance from the capacitor body to prevent internal structural damage. |
| Circuit Board Cleaning | Do not use halogenated solvents (e.g., trichlorethylene, xylene, acetone) for cleaning. Recommended solvents: methanol, isopropanol, ethanol, isobutanol, petroleum ether, propanol, and commercial detergents. |
| Soldering | Keep soldering irons away from plastic sleeves. Recommended soldering temperature: within 260 for no more than 10 seconds in a solder bath. |
| Hole Layout on PCB | Ensure mounting hole spacing matches lead spacing to avoid stress on leads. Consider hole layout to prevent solder splashing onto the capacitor body. |
