Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Description |
| Polarity | DC electrolytic capacitors are polarized. Ensure correct polarity to prevent short circuits or damage. Use bipolar capacitors if polarity is not fixed or determined. 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. |
| Operating Voltage | Do not exceed rated voltage. Recommended working voltage is 70-80% of rated voltage for extended lifespan. |
| Ripple Current | Do not allow ripple current to exceed permissible limits. Excessive ripple current can cause heating, capacitance reduction, and damage. Generally, do not exceed 80% of rated ripple current. |
| 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 temperatures generally ensure longer life. |
| Temperature & Life Relationship | Life is approximately doubled for every 10C reduction in temperature from the 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. |
| Storage | For capacitors stored for extended periods, apply rated DC voltage gradually before use to restore leakage current and withstand voltage. |
| 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. |
| Handling | 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 structural damage. |
| Circuit Board Cleaning | Use recommended solvents (e.g., methanol, isopropanol, ethanol) for cleaning. Avoid halogenated or similar solvents (e.g., trichlorethylene, xylene, acetone) to prevent damage to the capacitor body. |
| Soldering | Maintain distance from plastic sleeves. Recommended soldering temperature is within 260C for no more than 10 seconds to prevent damage. |
| Hole Layout | Ensure circuit board hole spacing matches lead spacing to avoid stress on leads. Consider hole layout to prevent solder splashing onto the capacitor body. |
