Matters needing attention
Notes for using aluminum electrolytic capacitors
(1) DC aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be used according to
the correct polarity When the DC aluminum electrolytic capacitor is
connected to the circuit according to the reverse polarity, the capacitor will
short circuit, and the resulting current will cause damage to the
capacitor. If it is possible to apply a positive voltage to the negative lead,
select the nonpolar product.
(2) Use it below the rated working voltage When the applied voltage
on the capacitor is higher than the rated working voltage, the leakage
current of the capacitor will rise and its electrical characteristics will deteriorate in a short time until damage. Note that the peak
voltage does not exceed the rated working voltage.
(3) Rapid charge and discharge use When conventional capacitors are
used for rapid charging, their service life may be reduced by falling
capacity, sharp temperature rises, etc.
(4) Storage of the capacitor When the aluminum electrolytic
capacitor is stored for a long time, the leakage current usually increases, the
higher the storage temperature, the faster the leakage current rises, the
longer the storage time, the higher the leakage current value. Therefore,
attention should be paid to the storage environment and time. After the
voltage is applied to the capacitor, the leakage current value will drop
continuously. If the rise of the leakage current value of the aluminum
electrolytic capacitor has a bad effect on the circuit, please charge it before
use.
(5) The applied ripple current should be less than the rated value
When the applied ripple current exceeds the rated value, the capacitor
temperature will rise to be too high, the capacity will decrease, and the
impedance will increase (DF increases) will shorten. The peak value of the applied
ripple voltage shall be less than the rated operating voltage.
(6) Use of the ambient temperature The service life of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is affect by the ambient temperature. According to scientific statistics, the use of ambient temperature
decreased by 20℃ its service life increased by 10 times.
(7) Lead line strength When a tensile force is applied to the
capacitor lead line, the tension will act inside the capacitor, which may
cause a short circuit, open circuit or rising leakage current.weld the capacitor
to the circuit board, do not shake the capacitor strongly.
(8) Heat resistance during the welding process When the solid
polymer capacitor is loaded into the circuit board for immersion welding or
wave welding, the product body may degrade the polymer layer and
increase the leakage due to the long welding time and high temperature.
(9) The installation hole distance and the installation position of
the circuit board The design of the mounting hole of the circuit board
shall be consistent with the lead pin distance in the product specification.
If the capacitor is forced into the circuit board with unmatched
hole distance, there will be stress on the lead line, which may lead to short
circuit or leakage current rise.
(10) About the cleaning after welding
① Capacitors cannot be cleaned with halogenated organic matter
series of cleaning agents. If cleaning is necessary, use a cleaning agent
that guarantees the capacitor quality. ② For the cleaning agent that can
ensure the quality of capacitors,please do not keep it in the cleaning solution or sealed container
after cleaning. After cleaning, please dry with the circuit board in the
hot air for more than 10 minutes, and the temperature of the hot air should
not be higher than the upper limit of the capacitor.
(11) About fixative and coating (coating agent)
① Please do not use fixatives and coatings (coatings) containing halogenated organic matter series. ② Please do not allow the
fixative and coating (coating agent) to seal the capacitor seal part (terminal side).
