Application Guidelines Summary:

• Circuit Design: Ensure operating conditions are within catalog specifications. Respect operating temperature and ripple current limits. Capacitors are polarized; avoid reverse/AC voltage. Use non-polar types for circuits with potential polarity reversal. Avoid rapid charge/discharge circuits unless using special design capacitors. Do not exceed rated voltage (consider peak voltage). Use balancing resistors for series capacitors. Standard sleeves are not electrically insulating. Do not connect blank terminals of snap-in types. Avoid water, brine, oil, toxic gases, ozone, UV, radiation, and excessive vibration/shock. Ensure proper PC board hole spacing and clearance above safety vents. For screw terminal capacitors, avoid end seal side down mounting; positive terminal should be upper in horizontal mount. Electrolyte is conductive and combustible.
• Mounting: Do not reuse assembled capacitors in other circuits. Discharge capacitors before handling (1k resistor). Voltage treatment may be needed for capacitors stored >6 months. Confirm ratings and polarity before installation. Do not drop or deform capacitors. Ensure lead spacing matches PC board hole spacing. Snap-in types should be installed tightly to the PC board. Avoid excessive clinch force during automatic insertion.
• Soldering Conditions: Pb/Sn Type: Flow 2355C 10 sec; Hand 35010C 3 sec. Pb-free Type: Flow 2605C 10 sec; Hand 40010C 3 sec. Do not tilt, lay down, twist, or carry PC boards by soldered capacitors. Keep capacitors free from contact after soldering. Avoid radiated heat. Do not clean with halogenated cleaning agents.
• Cleaning Precautions: Avoid halogen-containing fixing/coating materials. Remove flux and contamination from end seal gaps before coating. Apply coating materials partially. Consult sales for curing condition compatibility.
• Storage: Store at 5C to 35C, <75% RH, out of direct sunlight. Capacitors stored over one year may require voltage aging treatment.
• Disposal: Dispose of as industrial waste through specialists.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS Directive compliance (Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr6+, PBBs, PBDEs within specified limits). Halogen Free Compliant (Br, Cl within specified limits).

Basic Electrical Characteristics:

• Capacitance: Measured at 120Hz, 0.5Vrms AC with 1.5-2.0V DC bias. Decreases with increasing frequency and decreasing temperature.
• Tan (Dissipation Factor): Increases with increasing frequency and decreasing temperature.
• ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance): Affected by aluminum oxide layer, electrolyte/separator, foil length/area. Increases as temperature decreases. Decreases with increasing frequency.
• Impedance (Z): Predominantly capacitive reactance at low frequencies, ESR at mid-frequencies, and inductive reactance at high frequencies. Varies with temperature due to electrolyte resistivity.
• Leakage Current: Small DC current to reform the oxide layer. Initially high, then stabilizes. Increases with temperature and voltage. Measured at 20C with rated voltage through a 1,000 resistor.
