Technical Specifications

The following guidelines detail crucial parameters and usage recommendations for Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors:

Guideline Number	Description	Key Considerations
1	Polarity of DC Electrolytic Capacitors	Ensure correct polarity to prevent short circuits or damage. Use bipolar capacitors if polarity is uncertain. Not suitable for AC applications.
2	Bipolar Capacitors Usage	Suitable for pulse and polarity reverse circuits. Not 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.
4	Ripple Current	Do not exceed permissible ripple current limits to prevent overheating, capacitance reduction, and damage. Generally, not more than 80% of rated current.
5	Charge and Discharge Circuits	Use specially designed capacitors for circuits with frequent charge/discharge cycles to prevent damage and premature failure.
6	Operating Temperature Range	Capacitor characteristics vary with temperature. Lower temperatures generally ensure longer life.
7	Relationship Between Temperature and Life	Life is approximately doubled for every 10 decrease in operating temperature from the maximum rated temperature. Formula provided for calculation.
8	Operating Frequency	Capacitance is typically measured at 100Hz or 120Hz. Capacitance decreases and Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) increases with higher frequencies, potentially increasing ambient temperature.
9	Long-Term Storage Treatment	Capacitors stored for extended periods may exhibit increased leakage current and reduced withstand voltage. Apply rated DC voltage gradually before use.
10	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.
11	Force on Terminals and Leads	Avoid applying excessive force to terminals and leads to prevent breakage, separation, and internal connection damage.
12	Bending Leads (Horizontal Mount)	Maintain a 2mm safe spacing between the bend and the capacitor body to prevent internal structural damage.
13	Circuit Board Cleaning	Use recommended solvents (e.g., methanol, isopropanol, ethanol) and avoid halogenated or similar solvents (e.g., trichlorethylene, xylene, acetone) to protect the capacitor body, marking, and sealing materials.
14	Soldering Temperature and Duration	Keep soldering irons away from plastic sleeves. For solder dipping, maintain temperature within 260 and duration not exceeding 10 seconds to prevent damage.
15	Hole Layout on Circuit Board	Ensure mounting hole spacing matches lead spacing to avoid stress on leads. Consider hole layout carefully to prevent solder splashing onto the capacitor.
