Guidelines For Using Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
| No. | Item | Description |
| 1 | Polarity | DC electrolytic capacitors are polarized. Ensure correct polarity to avoid short circuits or damage. Use bipolar capacitors for uncertain polarity. Not suitable for AC applications. |
| 2 | Bipolar Capacitors | Suitable for pulse and polarity reverse circuits only. Not applicable for pure AC or high ripple current circuits. |
| 3 | Operating Voltage | 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 cause damage. |
| 4 | Ripple Current | Do not allow ripple current to exceed permissible limits. Excessive ripple current causes heating, capacitance reduction, and damage. Generally, do not exceed 80% of rated current. |
| 5 | Charge/Discharge Circuits | For circuits with rapid charge/discharge cycles, use specially designed capacitors to prevent damage, capacitance decrease, and heat rise. |
| 6 | Operating Temperature | Capacitor characteristics vary with temperature. Lower temperatures ensure longer life. |
| 7 | Temperature and Life Relationship | Capacitor life doubles with a 10C reduction in operating temperature. Formula provided for calculation. |
| 8 | Operating Frequency | Capacitance is typically measured at 100Hz or 120Hz. Capacitance decreases and tg increases with higher frequencies, leading to increased ambient temperature. |
| 9 | Long-Term Storage | Capacitors stored for extended periods may experience increased leakage current and reduced withstand voltage. Before use, gradually apply DC voltage up to the rated voltage. |
| 10 | Case Insulation | The capacitor case is not insulated from the cathode terminal. Insulate at the mounting point if case insulation is required. |
| 11 | Terminal/Lead Force | Do not apply excessive force to terminals or leads to prevent breakage, separation, or internal connection failure. |
| 12 | Bending Leads | When bending leads for horizontal mounting, maintain a 2mm safe spacing from the capacitor body to avoid internal structural damage. |
| 13 | Circuit Board Cleaning | Use recommended solvents (Methanol, Isopropanol, Ethanol, etc.) for cleaning. Avoid halogen agents or solvents like trichlorethylene, xylene, or acetone to protect the capacitor body. |
| 14 | Soldering | Maintain distance from the plastic sleeve. Recommended soldering temperature is within 260C for no more than 10 seconds to prevent damage. |
| 15 | Hole Layout on PCB | Ensure hole spacing on the circuit board matches lead spacing to avoid stress on leads. Consider hole layout to prevent solder splashing onto the capacitor body. |
