Application Guidelines

• Circuit Design: Considerations for operating temperature, frequency, and common application conditions to avoid (reverse voltage, charge/discharge, over voltage, ripple current, pulse current).
• Capacitor Mounting: Considerations for double-sided circuit boards, circuit board hole positioning and spacing, clearance for pressure relief vents, wiring near vents, circuit board patterns under capacitor, and screw terminal mounting.
• Electrical Isolation: Requirements for isolating cathode, case, and extra mounting terminals.
• Capacitor Handling: Considerations before use, insertion, manual soldering, flow soldering, other soldering, handling after solder, circuit board cleaning, mounting adhesives, and coating agents.
• Precautions for Using Capacitors: Environmental conditions (temperature, water, humidity, gases, radiation, vibration/shock) and electrical precautions (electric shock, short circuits).
• Emergency Procedures: Actions to take if the pressure relief vent operates.
• Long Term Storage: Reconditioning procedures for capacitors stored for extended periods.
• Capacitor Disposal: Recommended disposal methods.
