Technical Specifications
| Item | Description |
| Polarity | DC electrolytic capacitors are polarized. Ensure correct polarity to prevent short circuits or damage. Use bipolar capacitors for uncertain polarity. Not suitable for AC applications. |
| Bipolar Capacitors | Suitable for pulse 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 life. |
| Ripple Current | Do not allow excessive ripple current, which can cause heating, capacitance decrease, and damage. Generally, do not exceed 80% of the rated 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 operating temperatures ensure longer life. |
| Temperature and 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 long-term, apply rated DC voltage gradually before use. Storage may increase leakage current and decrease withstand voltage. |
| Case Insulation | The capacitor case is not insulated from the cathode terminal. Insulation must be applied at the mounting point if required. |
| Force on Terminals/Leads | Avoid applying excessive force to terminals and leads to prevent breakage, separation, and 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 solvents (Methanol, isopropanol, ethanol, etc.) for cleaning after soldering. Avoid halogenated or similar solvents (trichlorethylene, xylene, acetone) to protect sleeve, marking, and sealing materials. |
| Soldering | Maintain distance from the plastic sleeve. Recommended soldering temperature is within 260C for no more than 10 seconds to avoid component damage. |
| Hole Layout on Circuit Board | Mounting hole spacing should match lead spacing. Incorrect spacing can cause stress on leads, leading to short circuits or damage. Consider hole layout carefully to prevent solder splashing onto the capacitor. |
