Application Guidelines
1. Circuit Design
E n s u r e t h a t operational and mounting conditions
follw the specified conditions detailed in the catalog
and specification sheets.
1.2 Operating Temperature and Life Expectancy
(1) Expected life is affected by operating temperature.
Generally, each 10°C reduction in temperature
will double the expected life. Use capacitors at
the lowest possible temperature below the
maximum guaranteed temperature.
(2) I f o p e ra t i n g c o n d i t i o n s ex c e e d t h e m a x i m u m
guaranteed limit, rapid eIectrical parameter
deterioration will occur, and irreversible damage
will result.
Check for maximum capacitor operating tempera-
tures including ambient temperature, inter nal
capacitor temperature rise caused by ripple current,
a n d t h e e f fe c t s o f r a d i a t e d h e a t f r o m p ow e r
transistors, IC?s or resistors.
Avoid placing components which could conduct
heat to the capacitor from the back side of the circuit
board.

operating temperatures is as fllows;

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
1.3 Common Application Conditions to Avoid
The following misapplication load conditions will
cause rapid deter ioration to capacitor electr ical
p a r a m e t e r s. l n a d d i t i o n , ra p i d h e a t i n g a n d g a s
generation within the capacitor can occur causing
the pressure relief vent to operate and resuItant
leakage of electrolyte. Under extreme conditions,
explosion and fire could result. Leakinq electrolyte
is combustible and electrically conductive.
The vinyl sleeve of the capacitor can be damaged
i f s o l d e r p a s s e s t h r o u g h a l e a d h o l e for
subsequently processed parts. Special care when
locating hole positions in proximity to capacitors is
recommended.
(3) Circuit Board Hole Spacing
The circuit board holes spacing should match the
capacitor lead wire spacing within the specified
tolerances. Incorrect spacing can cause excessive
lead wire stress during the insertion process. This
may resuIt in premature capacitor failure due to
short or open circuit, increased leakage current,
or electrolyte leakage.
(1) Reverse Voltaqe
DC capacitors have polarity. Verify correct polarity
before inser tion. For circuits with changing or
uncertain polarity,use DC bipolar capacitors. DC
bipolar capacitors are not suitable for use in AC
circuits.
(4)Land/Pad Pattern
The circuit board land/pad pattern size for chip
capacitors is specified in the following table.
(2) Charqe/Discharqe Applications
Standard capacitors are not suitable for use in
repeating charge/discharge applications. For
charqe/discharqe applications consult us and advise
actual conditions.
[ Table of Board Land Size vs. Capacitor Size ]
(3) Overvoltage
Do not appIy voltaqes exceeding the maximum
specified rated voltages. Voltage up to the surge
voltage rating are acceptable for short periods of
time. Ensure that the sum of the DC voltage and
the superimposed AC ripple vo l t a g e does not
exceed the rated voltage.

(4) Ripple Current
Do not apply ripple currents exceeding the maximum
specified value. For high ripple current applications,
use a capacitor designed for high rippIe currents
or contact us with your requirements.
Ensure that allowable ripple currents superimposed
on low DC bias voltages do not cause reverse voltage
conditions.

1.4 Using Two or More Capacitors in Series
or Parallel
(1) Capacitors Connected in Parallel
The circuit resistance can closely approximate the
ser ies resistance of the capacitor causing an
imbalance of ripple current loads w i t h in the
capacitors. Careful design of wiring methods can
minimize the possibility of excessive ripple currents
applied to a capacitor.
Among others, when the size a is wide , back fillet can
not be made, decreasing fitting strength.
h
Decide considering mounting condition, solderability
and fitting strength, etc. based on the design
standards of your company.
(2) Capacitors Connected in Series
Normal DC leakage current differences among
capacitors can cause voltage imbalances. The use
of voltage divider shunt resistors with consideration
to leakage currents, can prevent capacitor voltage
imbaIances.
1.5 Capacitor Mounting Considerations
(1) DoubIe - Sided Circuit Boards
Avoid wiring Pattern runs which pass between
the mounted capacitor and the circuit board. When
dipping into a solder bath, excess solder may collect
u n d e r t h e c a p a c i t o r by c a p i l l a r y a c t i o n a n d
shortcircuit the anode and cathode terminals.
(2) Circuit Board Hole Positioning
