Attachment: Application Guidelines

• Circuit Design: Considerations for operating temperature, frequency effects on parameters (leakage current, capacitance, ESR, impedance, tan), life expectancy, and common application conditions to avoid (reverse voltage, charge/discharge, over voltage, ripple current).
• Series/Parallel Connection: Guidelines for using multiple capacitors in series or parallel to manage voltage and ripple current imbalances.
• Capacitor Mounting Considerations: Advice on circuit board design, hole positioning, hole spacing, clearance for pressure relief vents, wiring near vents, circuit board patterns under capacitors, and screw terminal mounting.
• Electrical Isolation: Requirements for isolating the capacitor from the case and other circuit paths.
• Capacitor Sleeve: Note that the sleeve is for marking and identification, not electrical insulation.
• Safety Precautions: Designing for worst-case failure modes, providing protection circuits, and designing redundant circuits.
• Capacitor Handling Techniques: Considerations before using (finite life, transient recovery voltage, leakage current increase with storage, damage from dropping/denting), insertion (polarity, hole spacing, lead clinching), manual soldering (temperature, time, lead forming), flow soldering (immersion, conditions), other soldering considerations (preheat, resin bonding), handling after solder (stress, using capacitor as handle, shock), and circuit board cleaning (solvents, drying, contamination monitoring).
• Mounting Adhesives and Coating Agents: Avoid materials containing halogenated solvents and chloroprene based polymers. Ensure thorough drying.
• Precautions for using capacitors: Environmental conditions to avoid (temperature extremes, water, salt water, oil, high humidity, toxic gases, ozone, radiation, vibration, shock).
• Electrical Precautions: Avoid touching terminals, exposed aluminum case. Avoid short-circuiting terminals with conductive materials.
• Emergency Procedures: Actions to take if the pressure relief vent operates (turn off equipment, disconnect power), and first aid for electrolyte contact (eyes, ingestion, skin).
• Long Term Storage: Reconditioning process for capacitors stored for over one year (applying rated voltage in series with a 1000 resistor for 30 minutes).
• Capacitor Disposal: Recommended methods include incineration after crushing/puncturing or disposal as solid waste, following local laws.
