Attachment: Application Guidelines

• Circuit Design: Considerations for operating temperature, frequency, common application conditions to avoid (reverse voltage, charge/discharge, overvoltage, ripple current), series/parallel capacitor usage, and mounting considerations (circuit board layout, hole spacing, pressure relief vent clearance, wiring near vents, under-capacitor patterns, screw terminal mounting). Electrical isolation requirements are detailed.
• Capacitor Handling Techniques: Pre-use considerations (finite life, transient recovery voltage, leakage current increase with storage, impact of dropping, dents/crushes), insertion guidelines (polarity, hole spacing, lead clinching), manual and flow soldering best practices, post-solder handling, circuit board cleaning (solvent compatibility, drying, contamination monitoring), and mounting adhesives/coating agents.
• Precautions for Using Capacitors: Environmental conditions to avoid (temperature extremes, water/oil contact, high humidity, toxic gases, ozone/radiation, vibration/shock). Electrical precautions include avoiding terminal contact and short circuits.
• Emergency Procedures: Actions to take if the pressure relief vent operates, including immediate equipment shutdown and first aid for electrolyte contact.
• Long Term Storage: Reconditioning procedure for capacitors stored for over one year using a current limiting resistor.
• Capacitor Disposal: Recommended methods include incineration after crushing or puncturing, or disposal as solid waste, adhering to local laws.
