MOUNTING

Normal Use

The capacitors are designed for mounting on printed-circuit boards. The capacitors packed in bandoliers are designed for
mounting in printed-circuit boards by means of automatic insertion machines.

For detailed tape specifications refer to: “Packaging Information”: www.vishay.com/doc?28139

Specific Method of Mounting to Withstand Vibration and Shock

In order to withstand vibration and shock tests, it must be ensured that the stand-off pips are in good contact with the
printed-circuit board:

 For pitches  15 mm capacitors shall be mechanically fixed by the leads
 For longer pitches the capacitors shall be mounted in the same way and the body clamped

Space Requirements on Printed Circuit Board

The maximum space for length (I
board is shown in the drawings.

 For products with pitch  15 mm, w = l = 0.3 mm; h = 0.1 mm

Eccentricity defined as in drawing. The maximum eccentricity is smaller than or equal to the lead diameter of the product
concerned.

SOLDERING

For general soldering conditions and wave soldering profile, we refer to the application note:
“Soldering Guidelines for Film Capacitors”: www.vishay.com/doc?28171

Storage Temperature

 Storage temperature: T

Ratings and Characteristics Reference Conditions

Unless otherwise specified, all electrical values apply to an ambient temperature of 23 °C ± 1 °C, an atmospheric pressure of
86 kPa to 106 kPa and a relative humidity of 50 % ± 2 %.

For reference testing, a conditioning period shall be applied over 96 h ± 4 h by heating the products in a circulating air oven at
the rated temperature and a relative humidity not exceeding 20 %.

.

 For series impedance applications we refer to Application Note www.vishay.com/doc?28153

 For capacitors connected in parallel, normally the proof voltage and possibly the rated voltage must be reduced. For information

depending of the capacitance value and the number of parallel connections contact: [e-mail]

 These capacitors are not intended for continuous pulse applications. For these situations, capacitors of the AC and pulse

programs must be used.

 The maximum ambient temperature must not exceed 105 °C.

 Rated voltage pulse slope:

If the pulse voltage is lower than the rated voltage, the values of the specific reference data can be multiplied by 615 VDC and
divided by the applied voltage.
