Attachment: Application Guidelines

1. Circuit Design:

• Operating Temperature and Frequency: Electrical parameters vary with temperature and frequency. Higher temperatures increase leakage current and capacitance, decrease ESR. Lower temperatures decrease leakage current and capacitance, increase ESR. Higher frequencies decrease capacitance and impedance, increase tan. Lower frequencies increase ESR, leading to ripple current generated heat.
• Common Application Conditions to Avoid: Reverse Voltage (use DC bipolar for changing polarity, not for AC circuits), Charge/Discharge Applications (consult manufacturer), Over voltage (do not exceed rated voltage; sum of DC and AC ripple must not exceed rated voltage), Ripple Current (do not exceed maximum specified value; use high ripple current capacitors or contact manufacturer).
• Using Two or More Capacitors in Series or Parallel: Parallel connection can cause ripple current imbalance; series connection can cause voltage imbalance due to leakage current differences (use shunt resistors).
• Capacitor Mounting Considerations: Avoid wiring patterns between capacitor and board on double-sided boards. Ensure proper hole spacing to avoid lead stress. Provide clearance for pressure relief vents (minimum 2mm for 6.3~ 16mm, 3mm for 18~ 35mm, 5mm for 40mm+). Ensure a hole under seal mounted vents. Avoid high voltage/current wiring above pressure relief vents. Avoid circuit board patterns under the capacitor. Tighten screw terminals within specified torque.
• Electrical Isolation: Isolate cathode from case (except axially leaded B types), anode terminal from other paths, and extra mounting terminals from anode/cathode/other paths.
• Capacitor Sleeve: Vinyl sleeve is for marking and identification, not electrical insulation. May split/crack with solvents like toluene/xylene and high temperatures.
• Safety Precautions: Plan for worst-case failure modes (short/open circuits). Provide protection circuits and devices. Design redundant circuits where possible.

2. Capacitor Handling Techniques:

• Considerations Before Using: Capacitors have finite life; do not reuse from used equipment. Transient recovery voltage may occur; discharge with ~1k resistor if needed. Long storage may increase leakage current; recondition with rated voltage and ~1k resistor. Avoid using dropped, dented, or crushed capacitors.
• Capacitor Insertion: Verify capacitance, rated voltage, and polarity. Ensure correct hole spacing to avoid terminal stress. Prevent auto insertion equipment from stressing leads at the seal.
• Manual Soldering: Observe temperature/time specifications (do not exceed 400 for 3 sec). Avoid stressing leads at the seal. Avoid touching capacitor body with soldering iron.
• Flow Soldering: Do not immerse capacitor body into solder bath. Observe proper soldering conditions. Prevent other components from touching the capacitor during soldering.
• Other Soldering Considerations: Avoid rapid temperature rises during preheat/resin bonding. For heat curing, do not exceed 150 for max 2 minutes.
• Capacitor Handling after Solder: Avoid moving capacitor after soldering. Do not use capacitor as a handle. Avoid striking capacitor after assembly.
• Circuit Board Cleaning: Boards can be immersed/ultrasonically cleaned (up to 5 min, 60 max). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid ozone-depleting agents. Avoid halogenated, alkali, petroleum-based solvents, xylene, and acetone unless specified. Monitor contamination levels.
• Mounting Adhesives and Coating Agents: Avoid materials containing halogenated solvents or chloroprene-based polymers. Dry thoroughly after application.

3. Precautions for Using Capacitors:

• Environmental Conditions: Do not store or use outside rated temperature range. Avoid direct contact with water, saltwater, oil, high humidity, toxic gases (HS, HSO, HNO, Cl, NH), ozone, radiation, UV rays, or exceeding vibration/shock requirements.
• Electrical Precautions: Avoid touching terminals due to electric shock risk. Do not short terminals with conductive materials or liquids.

4. Emergency Procedures:

• If pressure relief vent operates, immediately turn off equipment and disconnect power. Avoid contact with escaping electrolyte gas (>100). Flush eyes with water if electrolyte enters eyes, gargle if ingested, wash skin with soap and water.

5. Long Term Storage:

• Leakage current increases with long storage. Recondition after one year by applying rated voltage in series with a 1000 resistor for 30 minutes. Avoid storage/use outside rated temperature range, direct contact with water/saltwater/oil, high humidity, toxic gases, ozone, radiation, UV rays, or exceeding vibration/shock requirements.

6. Capacitor Disposal:

• Incinerate after crushing or puncturing the can wall. Incinerate at high temperatures to prevent toxic gas release. Dispose of as solid waste. Follow local laws. Note: 5G outdoor power system is not applicable.
