MOUNTING
NORMAL USE
The capacitors are designed for mounting on printed-wiring boards. The capacitors packed in
bandollers are designed for mounting on printed-wiring boards by means of automatic
insertion machines.
For detailed specifications refer to chapter packaging
SPECIFIED METHOD OF MOUNTING TO WITHSTAND VIBRATION AND SHOCK
In order to withstand vibration and shock tests, it must be ensured that the underside of the crimps are
in good contact with the printed-wiring board.
- For pitches of 15 mm the capacitors shall be mechanically fixed by the leads.
- For larger pitches the capacitors shall be mounted in the same way and the body clamped.
RATINGS AND CHARACTERISTICS
Unless otherwise specified, all electrical values apply to an ambient free air temperature of 23±1,
an atmospheric pressure of 86 to 106 kPa and a relative humidity of 50±2%.
For reference testing, a conditioning period shall be applied over 96±4 hours by heating the products
in a circulating air oven at the rated temperature and a relative humidity not exceeding 20%.

Insulation Resistance
The insulation resistance is measured after a voltage has been applied for 1 minute ±5 seconds,
the voltage being 100±15V for the 100, 250 and 400V versions and 500±50V for the 630V versions.

APPLICATION NOTE
To select this capacitor for a certain application, 6 conditions must be checked :
1. The peak voltage (Vp) shall not be greater than the rated DC voltage.
2. The peak-to-peak voltage (Vp-p) shall not be greater than 22 times the rated AC voltage to avoid the
ionization inception level.
3. The peak current (Ip) shall not exceed the maximum peak current, defined as maximum voltage
pulse slope (dV/dt) multiplied by the capacitance.
Ip max. = C (dV/dt) max
Or the voltage pulse slope shall not exceed the rated voltage pulse slope. If the pulse voltage is
Lower than the rated voltage, the values of the table may be multiplied by VRdc and divided by the
applied voltage.
4. The dissipated power shall not be greater than the maximum permissible power dissipation
stated above.
5. The free air ambient temperature for the capacitor is not exceeding the category temperature.
6. Since all metallized film capacitors have an intrinsically active flammability risk, it is recommended
that these capacitors should only be used in circuits where the power can be limited to less than
5W to the capacitor should a failure occur.
PRODUCT MARKING
The capacitors are marked in black ink on the side with the following information :
. Rated capacitance code in or
. Tolerance on rated capacitance : J = ±5 % , K = ±10 %
. Rated DC voltage
