TEST PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS (1)
NAME OF TEST PROCEDURE
(quick reference)
Capacitance CR and ESRDC Measured by DC discharging method as described in “Measuring of Characteristics”. (2)
Maximum peak current
Non-repetitive current for maximum 1 s at specified operating temperature.
Maximum operating voltage (refer to derating table) must not be exceeded.
Usually to be tested with constant current discharge from UR to 0.5 x UR.
Maximum current should not be used in normal operation and is only provided as reference value.
Leakage current ILMeasured at UR. Capacitor is charged to the rated voltage at 20 °C. Leakage current is the current at specified
time that is required to keep the capacitor charged at the rated voltage.
Endurance
After loading the capacitor for specified time at maximum category temperature Tmax. = 85 °C and derated
permissible maximum operating voltage U = 2.3 V, following parameters are valid within a timeframe of
1000 h:
Capacitance Within ± 30 % of minimum initial specified value
ESR Less than 3 x initial specified value
Leakage Within specified value
Useful life
After loading the capacitor for specified time at maximum category temperature Tmax. = 85 °C and derated
permissible maximum operating voltage U = 2.3 V, following parameters are valid within a timeframe of
2000 h:
Capacitance Within ± 50 % of minimum initial specified value
ESR Less than 4 x initial specified value
Leakage Within specified value
Storage at upper
category temperature
After loading the capacitor of specified time at maximum category temperature Tmax. = 85 °C and without
charge and under 40 % RH, following parameters are valid within a timeframe of 1000 h:
Capacitance Within ± 30 % of minimum initial specified value
ESR Less than 3 x initial specified value
Leakage Within specified value
Shelf life Stored uncharged at 20 °C.
Parameter within initial specification
Cycle life
Cycles at 20 °C between rated voltage and half of rated voltage UR with constant current and 1 s rest between
charge and discharge: > 500 000 cycles
Capacitance Within ± 30 % of minimum initial specified value
ESR Less than 3 x initial specified value
Stored energy E,
specific energy Ed and Ev
E [Wh] = ½ x C x (UR)2 x 1/3600
Ed [Wh/kg] = ½ x C x (UR)2 x 1/3600 x 1/mass
Ev [Wh/L] = ½ x C x (UR)2 x 1/3600 x 1/volume
Soldering Hand or wave soldering allowed. For details refer to soldering requirements for radial aluminum electrolytic
capacitors in supplementary document.
Cleaning For printed circuit board cleaning apply non-aggressive cleaning agents only.
