Environment-related Substances:

Refers to the latest document of Environment-related Substances standard (WI-HSPM-QA-072). Controlled substances include Heavy metals (Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium), Chlorinated organic compounds, Brominated organic compounds, Tributyltin compounds, Asbestos, Formaldehyde, Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Beryllium oxide, Beryllium copper, Specific phthalates, Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC), Perfluorocarbon (PFC), Perfluorooctane sulfonates (PFOS), Specific Benzotriazole.

Application Guidelines:

• Circuit Design: Consider effects of operating temperature and frequency on electrical parameters. Avoid common misapplication conditions such as reverse voltage, repeating charge/discharge, over voltage, and exceeding ripple current limits.
• Series/Parallel Connection: Use shunt resistors for series connections to balance voltage. Careful wiring is needed for parallel connections to balance ripple current.
• Mounting Considerations: Avoid wiring patterns under capacitors, ensure proper hole spacing, and maintain clearance for pressure relief vents.
• Electrical Isolation: Ensure complete electrical isolation between cathode and case, anode terminal and other paths.
• Product Endurance: Sample collection for life tests should be from within 6 months of the date code.
• Capacitor Sleeve: The sleeve is for marking and identification; it is not for electrical insulation and may be damaged by certain solvents and high temperatures.
• Safety: Plan for worst-case failure modes and provide protection circuits.

Capacitor Handling Techniques:

• Before Using: Do not reuse capacitors from used equipment. Discharge transient recovery voltage if necessary. Recondition capacitors stored for long periods by applying rated voltage through a resistor. Avoid using dropped, dented, or crushed capacitors.
• Insertion: Verify capacitance, voltage, and polarity. Ensure correct hole spacing and avoid stress on leads.
• Soldering: Observe temperature and time specifications. Avoid stress on leads and do not touch the capacitor body with the soldering iron.
• Cleaning: Use suitable cleaning solvents and temperatures. Thorough drying is required. Avoid specific solvent groups (halogenated, alkali, petroleum-based, xylene, acetone) unless specified.
• Adhesives/Coatings: Avoid halogenated solvents and chloroprene based polymers. Ensure thorough drying.

Precautions for Using Capacitors:

• Environmental Conditions: Avoid extreme temperatures, direct contact with water/oil, high humidity, toxic gases, ozone, radiation, and excessive vibration/shock.
• Electrical Precautions: Avoid touching terminals due to electric shock risk. Prevent short circuits between terminals.

Emergency Procedures:

• If the pressure relief vent operates, immediately turn off equipment. Avoid contact with escaping electrolyte gas. Follow first aid procedures for eye/skin contact or ingestion.

Long Term Storage:

• Leakage current increases with storage time. Recondition capacitors stored for over one year by applying rated voltage through a 1000 resistor for 30 minutes. Products over eighteen months from date code require confirmation.

Capacitor Disposal:

• Incinerate after crushing or puncturing to prevent explosion. Incinerate at high temperatures to prevent toxic gas release. Dispose of as solid waste, following local laws.
