Application Guidelines:

• Circuit Design: Considerations for operating temperature, frequency, reverse voltage, charge/discharge, over voltage, ripple current, series/parallel capacitor usage.
• Capacitor Mounting: Considerations for double-sided circuit boards, hole positioning, hole spacing, clearance for pressure relief vents, wiring near vents, circuit board patterns, and screw terminal mounting.
• Electrical Isolation: Requirements for isolating cathode, case, anode terminal, and extra mounting terminals.
• Capacitor Handling: Pre-use considerations, insertion, manual soldering, flow soldering, other soldering considerations, post-solder handling, circuit board cleaning, mounting adhesives, and coating agents.
