Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document is a technical catalog for Panasonic's Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors, specifically the radial lead type, as of July 2019. It includes specifications, application guidelines, and handling techniques for these capacitors.
Applicable Laws and Regulations: The capacitors comply with the RoHS Directive and do not use ozone-depleting chemicals or brominated flame retardants. Export procedures must adhere to relevant regulations.
Limited Applications: These capacitors are intended for use in general electronic circuits such as audio/visual equipment and computers. They are not suitable for high-reliability applications without specific delivery specifications.
Specifications and Safety: The document emphasizes the importance of not exceeding specified limits and ensuring compatibility with the intended application. Fail-safe designs are recommended for critical applications.
Conditions of Use: Capacitors should not be used in extreme environments such as high humidity, corrosive gases, or excessive vibration. Voltage and ripple current should not exceed specified ratings.
Application Guidelines:
  • Operating Temperature and Frequency: Electrical characteristics vary with temperature and frequency. Lower temperatures generally extend life expectancy.
  • Common Application Conditions to Avoid: Misapplications like reverse voltage and excessive charge/discharge cycles can lead to rapid deterioration.
  • Using Capacitors in Series or Parallel: Proper design considerations are necessary to prevent imbalances and excessive stress.
  • Mounting Considerations: Proper spacing and clearance are crucial to avoid mechanical stress and ensure pressure relief functionality.
Handling Techniques:
  • Before Use: Capacitors should not be reused from old equipment. Proper voltage application and handling are necessary to maintain integrity.
  • Insertion and Soldering: Correct insertion and soldering techniques are critical to avoid damage. Radial lead capacitors are not suitable for reflow soldering.
  • Post-Soldering Handling: Avoid mechanical stress and excessive shock to prevent failure.
  • Circuit Board Cleaning: Use appropriate solvents and avoid ozone-depleting agents.
Specifications:
  • Category Temperature Range: -40°C to +105°C
  • Rated Voltage Range: 6.3 V.DC to 100 V.DC
  • Capacitance Range: 4.7 µF to 8200 µF
  • Capacitance Tolerance: ±20% at 120 Hz/+20°C
  • Leakage Current: I < 0.01 CV (µA) after 2 minutes
  • Dissipation Factor (tan δ): Varies with voltage, e.g., 0.22 for 6.3 V.DC, 0.08 for 100 V.DC
Endurance: Capacitors are tested with DC voltage and ripple current at +105°C. Endurance varies by size, ranging from 5000 to 10000 hours. After testing, capacitance change should be within ±25% of the initial value, and DC leakage current should remain within the initial limit.
Shelf Life: After 1000 hours of storage at +105°C without voltage, capacitors should meet endurance limits after stabilization at +20°C.
Frequency Correction Factor for Ripple Current: Varies by capacitance and frequency, e.g., 0.45 at 60 Hz for 4.7 to 33 µF, 1.00 at 100 kHz for 1200 to 8200 µF.
Case Size and Impedance: Detailed tables provide impedance and ripple current values at different temperatures and frequencies for various case sizes and voltages.
Packaging: Capacitors are available in straight and taped lead configurations, with specific packaging quantities for each.
Attention: Specifications are subject to change without notice. Users should verify current specifications before purchase or use. The product is not suitable for automotive applications.
Procedures and Recommendations:
  • Ensure to verify the latest specifications before purchase or use.
  • Contact the manufacturer immediately if any safety concerns arise.
  • For taped products, specific letters (e.g., "B" or "H") should be included in the part number to indicate lead wire pitch.
Key Features:
  • High ripple current capability at high frequencies.
  • RoHS compliant across all series.
  • Low profile options available in certain series.
Performance Characteristics:
  • Leakage Current: Defined as I < 0.06 CV +10 (µA) after 2 minutes at rated voltage.
  • Dissipation Factor (tan δ): Varies by series and is detailed in the characteristics list.
  • Impedance Ratio: Specified for low temperatures, indicating performance stability.
Tables and Data: The document includes detailed tables listing part numbers, case sizes, ripple currents, ESR values, and packaging quantities for various capacitor models. These tables are essential for selecting the appropriate capacitor based on specific application requirements.
Warnings and Cautions: The document emphasizes that these components are designed for general-purpose electronic devices. For applications requiring high safety, such as medical or aerospace equipment, users must contact the manufacturer and implement protective circuits. It also advises on the necessity of a written agreement on specifications and highlights export restrictions under Japanese law.
Environmental Compliance: The manufacturing process does not use ozone-depleting substances, complying with the Montreal Protocol.

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors (Radial Lead Type) Application Guidelines (Radial Lead Type) 1. Circuit design 1.1 Operating Temperature and Frequency Electrical characteristics of the capacitor are likely to change due to variation in temperature and/or frequency. Circuit designers should take these changes into consideration. (1) Effects of operating temperature on electrical parameters (a) At higher temperatures, leakage current and capacitance increase while equivalent series resistance (ESR) decreases. (b) At lower temperatures, leakage current and capacitance decrease while equivalent...

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors (Radial Lead Type) 1.4 Using Two or More Capacitors in Series or Parallel (1) Capacitors Connected in Parallel The circuit resistance can closely approximate the series resistance of the capacitor, causing an imbalance of ripple current loads within the capacitors. Careful wiring methods can minimize the possible application of an excessive ripple current to a capacitor. (2) Capacitors Connected in Series Differences in normal DC leakage current among capacitors can cause voltage imbalances. The use of voltage divider shunt resistors with consideration to leakage...

Verify the correct polarity of the capacitor before insertion. Verify the correct hole spacing and land pattern size before insertion to avoid stress on the terminals. Ensure that the lead clinching operation done by auto insertion equipments does not stress the capacitor leads where they enter the seal of the capacitor. Do not immerse the capacitor body into the solder bath as excessive internal pressure could result. Apply proper soldering...

aluminum oxide film deteriorates as a to restore the oxide film. 2.9 Fumigation In exporting electronic appliances with aluminum electrolytic capacitors, in some cases fumigation treatment using such halogen compound as methyl bromide is conducted for wooden boxes. If such boxes are not dried well, the halogen left in the box is dispersed while transported and enters in the capacitors inside. This possibly causes electrical corrosion of the capacitors. Therefore, after performing fumigation and drying make sure that no halogen is left. Don’t perform fumigation treatment to the whole electronic...
