Technical Specifications
| Item | Description | Details |
| 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 | Usage | Suitable for pulse circuits and polarity reverse circuits. Not applicable in pure AC or high ripple current circuits. |
| Voltage | Rated Voltage | Do not exceed rated voltage. Recommended working voltage is 70-80% of rated voltage for extended life. |
| Ripple Current | Permissible Limit | Do not allow excessive ripple current. Generally, not more than 80% of the rated current. Exceeding limits can cause heating, capacitance reduction, and damage. |
| Charge/Discharge Circuits | Special Design | For circuits with rapid charge/discharge cycles, use specially designed capacitors to prevent damage, capacitance decrease, and heat rise. |
| Operating Temperature | Range and Effect | Capacitor characteristics vary with temperature. Lower temperatures ensure longer life. |
| Temperature & Life | Relationship | Life is generally doubled for every 10C reduction in temperature from the rated temperature. Formula provided for calculation: Ls = L0 x 2^((T0-Tx)/10) x (I0/Ix)^m (Note: Formula components m, T0, Tx, I0, Ix, L0, Ls are not fully defined in the provided text for a complete calculation). |
| Operating Frequency | Measurement & Effect | Capacitance is typically measured at 100Hz or 120Hz. Capacitance decreases and tg increases with higher frequencies, leading to increased ambient temperature. |
| Storage | Treatment | For capacitors stored long-term, apply rated DC voltage treatment before use. This addresses potential increases in leakage current and decreased withstand voltage. |
| Case Insulation | Connection | The capacitor case is not insulated from the cathode terminal. Insulation measures are required at the mounting point if case insulation is necessary. |
| Terminal/Lead Force | Handling | Do not apply excessive force to terminals or leads to prevent breakage, separation, or internal connection failure. |
| Bending Leads | Assembly | When bending leads for horizontal mounting, maintain a 2mm safe spacing from the capacitor body to prevent internal structural damage. |
| Circuit Board Cleaning | Solvents | Do not use halogenated solvents (e.g., trichlorethylene, xylene, acetone). Recommended solvents include methanol, isopropanol, ethanol, isobutanol, petroleum ether, propane, and commercial detergents. |
| Soldering | Temperature & Time | Keep soldering irons away from plastic sleeves. Recommended solder bath temperature is within 260C for no more than 10 seconds to avoid damaging the capacitor unit. |
| Hole Layout | Circuit Board Design | Hole spacing on the circuit board should match lead spacing. Incorrect spacing can stress leads, causing short circuits or damage. Consider hole layout carefully to prevent solder splashing onto the capacitor body. |
