Aluminum Capacitors
Radial Standard Ultra Miniature
FEATURES
• Polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors,
non-solid electrolyte.
• Radial leads, cylindrical aluminum case,
insulated with a blue vinyl sleeve.
• Pressure relief for case ∅D ≥ 6.3 mm.
• Charge and discharge proof.
• Miniaturized, high CV-product per unit volume.
• Lead (Pb)-Free versions are RoHS compliant.
APPLICATIONS
• General purpose, industrial, automotive and audio-video.
• Coupling, decoupling, timing, smoothing, filtering,
buffering in SMPS.
• Portable and mobile equipment (small size, low mass).
MARKING
The capacitors are marked (where possible)
with the following information:
• Rated capacitance (in µF).
• Tolerance on rated capacitance, code letter in accordance
with IEC 60062 (M for ± 20 %).
• Rated voltage (in V).
• Date code, in accordance with IEC 60062.
• Code indicating factory of origin.
• Name of manufacturer.
• Negative terminal identification.
• Series number (038).
