Application Guidelines:

• Considerations for operating temperature, frequency, and life expectancy.
• Avoidance of common misapplication conditions: reverse voltage, charge/discharge applications, over voltage, ripple current, and pulse current.
• Guidelines for series and parallel capacitor usage.
• Capacitor mounting considerations for circuit boards, including hole positioning, spacing, and clearance for pressure relief vents.
• Electrical isolation requirements.
• Capacitor sleeve is for marking and identification, not electrical insulation.
• Safety precautions for design and circuit protection.

Capacitor Handling Techniques:

• Considerations before using: finite life, transient recovery voltage, leakage current increase after long storage, mechanical/electrical damage from dropping, and use of dented/crushed capacitors.
• Capacitor insertion: verify capacitance, voltage, polarity, and hole spacing; avoid stress on leads.
• Soldering: observe temperature and time specifications, avoid stress on leads, avoid touching capacitor body with soldering iron.
• Flow soldering: do not immerse capacitor body, observe soldering conditions, avoid contact with other components.
• Handling after solder: avoid movement, do not use capacitor as a handle, avoid striking capacitor.
• Circuit board cleaning: use suitable solvents, rinse and dry thoroughly, avoid specific solvent groups (halogenated, alkali, petroleum-based, xylene, acetone).
• Mounting adhesives and coating agents: avoid halogenated solvents and chloroprene-based polymers.

Precautions for Using Capacitors:

• Environmental conditions: avoid extreme temperatures, water/salt water/oil contact, high humidity, toxic gases, ozone/radiation/UV rays, and excessive vibration/shock.
• Electrical precautions: avoid touching terminals, avoid short-circuiting terminals with conductive materials.

Emergency Procedures:

• If pressure relief vent operates, turn off equipment immediately.
• Avoid contact with escaping electrolyte gas/liquid.
• First aid for eye contact, ingestion, and skin contact.

Long Term Storage:

• Leakage current increases with long storage; reconditioning by applying rated voltage with a current limiting resistor is recommended after one year.
• Environmental conditions for storage are the same as for use.

Capacitor Disposal:

• Methods include incineration after crushing/puncturing or disposal as solid waste.
• Follow local disposal requirements.
