Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure that the leads are not bent sharply close to the body of the capacitor.
   • Solder the leads quickly to avoid excessive heat which can damage the component.
   • Allow the solder to cool naturally without moving the capacitor.

2. Polarity:

   • This capacitor is non-polarized. It can be inserted in either direction.

3. Voltage:

   • Do not exceed the maximum voltage rating of 400 VDC.
   • Continuous operation at or near the maximum voltage should be avoided to ensure long-term reliability.

4. Temperature:

   • Operate the capacitor within the temperature range of -55°C to +85°C.
   • Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or rapid temperature changes.

5. Ripple Current:

   • The maximum ripple current should not exceed 120 mA at 100 kHz with a 20°C temperature rise.
   • Higher ripple currents may reduce the lifespan of the capacitor.

6. Storage:

   • Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and corrosive environments.
   • If stored for extended periods, recondition the capacitor by applying a low voltage and gradually increasing it to the rated voltage over several minutes.

7. Inspection:

   • Regularly inspect the capacitor for signs of physical damage, such as cracks or bulges.
   • Test the capacitance and insulation resistance periodically to ensure continued performance.

8. Disposal:

   • Dispose of the capacitor in accordance with local environmental regulations.
   • Do not incinerate or crush the capacitor.
