Snap-In Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors
PEH526 Series, +125°C
Overview
Applications
KEMET's PEH526 is a high performance electrolytic
capacitor designed for automotive applications with high
vibrations and high ambient temperatures.
KEMET's PEH526 is an electrolytic capacitor with
outstanding electrical performance. The device is polarized,
has a negative pole connected to the case and a plastic
cover for the outer case.
Low ESR is the result of a low resistive electrolyte/paper
system. Together with the TDC thermal concept, this range
gives the PEH526 a very high ripple current capability. It is
suitable for use in both mobile and aircraft applications with
operation up to +125°C.

Shelf Life
The capacitance, ESR and impedance of a capacitor will not change significantly after extended storage periods, however
the leakage current will very slowly increase. KEMET products are particularly stable and allow a shelf life in excess of three
years at 40°C. See sectional specification under each product series for specific data.
Re-age (Reforming) Procedure
Apply the rated voltage to the capacitor at room temperature for a period of one hour, or until the leakage current has fallen
to a steady value below the specified limit. During re-aging a maximum charging current of twice the specified leakage
current or 5 mA (whichever is greater) is suggested.
Reliability
The reliability of a component can be defined as the probability that it will perform satisfactorily under a given set of
conditions for a given length of time.
In practice, it is impossible to predict with absolute certainty how any individual component will perform; thus, we must
utilize probability theory. It is also necessary to clearly define the level of stress involved (e.g. operating voltage, ripple
current, temperature and time). Finally, the meaning of satisfactory performance must be defined by specifying a set of
conditions which determine the end of life of the component.
Reliability as a function of time, R(t), is normally expressed as: R(t)=e-
λt
where R(t) is the probability that the component will perform satisfactorily for time t, and λ is the failure rate.
Failure Rate
The failure rate is the number of components failing per unit time. The failure rate of most electronic components follows
the characteristic pattern:
• Early failures are removed during the manufacturing process.
• The operational life is characterized by a constant failure rate.
• The wear out period is characterized by a rapidly increasing failure rate.
The failures in time (FIT) are given with a 60% confidence level for the various type codes. By convention, FIT is expressed as
1 x 10
-9
failures per hour. Failure rate is also expressed as a percentage of failures per 1,000 hours.
e.g., 100 FIT = 1 x 10
-7
failures per hour = 0.01%/1,000 hours
End of Life Definition
Catastrophic Failure: short circuit, open circuit or safety vent operation
Parametric Failure:
• Change in capacitance > ±10%
• Leakage current > specified limit
• ESR > 2 x initial ESR value

Environmental Compliance
As an environmentally conscious company, KEMET is working continuously with improvements concerning the environmental
effects of both our capacitors and their production. In Europe (RoHS Directive) and in some other geographical areas like
China, legislation has been put in place to prevent the use of some hazardous materials, such as lead (Pb), in electronic
equipment. All products in this catalog are produced to help our customers’ obligations to guarantee their products and fulfill
these legislative requirements. The only material of concern in our products has been lead (Pb), which has been removed
from all designs to fulfill the requirement of containing less than 0.1% of lead in any homogeneous material. KEMET will
closely follow any changes in legislation world wide and makes any necessary changes in its products, whenever needed.
Some customer segments such as medical, military and automotive electronics may still require the use of lead in electrode
coatings. To clarify the situation and distinguish products from each other, a special symbol is used on the packaging labels
for RoHS compatible capacitors.
Because of customer requirements, there may appear additional markings such as LF = Lead Free or LFW = Lead Free Wires
on the label.
