Technical Specifications

ItemDescription
PolarityDC electrolytic capacitors are polarized. Ensure correct polarity to prevent short circuits or damage. Use bipolar capacitors for uncertain polarity. Not for AC applications.
Bipolar CapacitorsSuitable for pulse and polarity reverse circuits. Not for pure AC or high ripple current circuits.
VoltageDo not exceed rated voltage. Recommended working voltage is 70-80% of rated voltage for extended life.
Ripple CurrentDo not exceed permissible ripple current. Exceeding limits causes heating, capacitance reduction, and damage. Generally, not more than 80% of rated current.
Charge/Discharge CircuitsUse specially designed capacitors for circuits with rapid charge and discharge cycles to prevent damage, capacitance decrease, and heat rise.
Operating TemperatureCapacitor characteristics vary with temperature. Lower temperatures ensure longer life.
Temperature & Life RelationshipLife is inversely proportional to temperature. Reducing temperature by 10 doubles lifespan at rated temperature. Formula provided for calculation.
Operating FrequencyCapacitance is typically measured at 100Hz or 120Hz. Capacitance decreases and tg increases with higher frequencies, leading to higher ambient temperature.
StorageFor capacitors stored long-term, apply rated DC voltage gradually before use. Storage may increase leakage current and decrease withstand voltage.
Case InsulationThe capacitor case is not insulated from the cathode terminal. Insulation measures are required at the mounting point if case insulation is necessary.
Force on Terminals/LeadsDo not apply excessive force to terminals or leads to prevent breakage, separation, or internal connection failure.
Bending LeadsWhen bending leads for horizontal mounting, maintain a 2mm safe distance from the capacitor body to prevent internal structural damage.
Circuit Board CleaningUse recommended solvents like methanol, isopropanol, ethanol, etc. Avoid halogenated solvents (trichlorethylene, xylene, acetone) to protect sleeve, marking, and sealing materials.
SolderingKeep soldering iron away from plastic sleeves. Recommended solder bath temperature is within 260 for no more than 10 seconds to avoid damage.
Hole Layout on PCBEnsure hole spacing on PCBs matches lead spacing to avoid stress on leads. Consider hole layout carefully to prevent solder splashing onto the capacitor body.
