Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure the capacitor is mounted with the correct polarity. The positive lead is usually marked.
   • Use appropriate mounting hardware to secure the capacitor, ensuring it is not subjected to mechanical stress.

2. Voltage Application:

   • Do not exceed the rated voltage (25V DC). Exceeding this can lead to failure or reduced lifespan.
   • Ensure the ripple current does not exceed 1.3A at 100 Hz to avoid overheating.

3. Temperature Considerations:

   • Operate the capacitor within the temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.
   • Avoid exposing the capacitor to high temperatures for extended periods, as this can degrade performance.

4. Storage:

   • Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and corrosive environments.
   • If stored for extended periods, test the capacitance and ESR before use.

5. Handling:

   • Handle with care to avoid physical damage to the leads and body.
   • Use appropriate ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions to prevent damage.

6. Soldering:

   • Preheat the capacitor to reduce thermal shock during soldering.
   • Use a soldering iron with a temperature setting suitable for the component (typically 260°C to 300°C).
   • Solder quickly to minimize heat exposure.

7. Testing:

   • Test the capacitor using a capacitance meter to ensure it meets the specified capacitance value.
   • Check the ESR to ensure it is within the typical range to confirm proper functionality.

8. Disposal:

   • Dispose of the capacitor according to local environmental regulations.
   • Do not incinerate or dispose of in a manner that could release harmful substances.
