Usage Precautions

Users must adhere to the following precautions to ensure safe and reliable operation:

• Design Circuit: Design within the rated performance range, considering temperature and frequency effects on electrical characteristics. Calculate capacitor life based on operating temperature.
• Load Conditions: Avoid reverse voltage, AC voltage, overvoltage, overcurrent, rapid charge/discharge, and frequent switching. Use appropriate configurations for series and parallel connections.
• Installation Position: Design for safe installation, considering potential for leakage, short circuits, and the need for space around pressure relief vents.
• Mounting: Ensure correct polarity, rated capacity, and voltage. Handle with care to avoid mechanical stress or damage.
• Soldering: Follow specified temperature and time limits for manual, flow, and reflow soldering. Avoid immersing the capacitor body in solder.
• Post-Soldering: Handle the circuit board carefully to avoid stressing the capacitor terminals.
• Board Cleaning: Use specified cleaning agents and conditions. Avoid halogenated or alkaline solvents.
• Adhesives/Coatings: Use compatible materials and avoid sealing the entire capacitor body.
• Fumigation Treatment: Ensure thorough drying after fumigation to prevent corrosion.
• Terminal Contact: Do not directly touch capacitor terminals to avoid electric shock.
• Short Circuit: Do not short capacitor terminals with conductive materials or liquids.
• Inspection & Maintenance: Regularly inspect for external abnormalities and electrical performance. Disconnect power and discharge before maintenance.
• In Case of Failure: If the pressure relief valve operates, disconnect power immediately. Avoid contact with ejected gas.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Adhere to shelf-life recommendations.
• Disposal: Dispose of waste capacitors according to regulations, either by controlled incineration or through professional waste disposal services.
