Supercapacitors – FC Series
Notes on Using Supercapacitors or Electric Double-Layer Capacitors (EDLCs) cont’d
2. Mounting
2.1Mountingontoareowfurnace
ExceptfortheFCseries,itisnotpossibletomountthiscapacitorontoanIR/VPSreowfurnace.Donotimmersethe
capacitor into a soldering dip tank.
2.2 Flow soldering conditions
SeeRecommendedReowCurvesinSection–PrecautionsforUse
2.3 Installation using a soldering iron
Care must be taken to prevent the soldering iron from touching other parts when soldering. Keep the tip of the soldering
ironunder400°Candsolderingtimetowithin3seconds.Alwaysmakesurethatthetemperatureofthetipiscontrolled.
Internal capacitor resistance is likely to increase if the terminals are overheated.
2.4 Lead terminal processing
Do not attempt to bend or polish the capacitor terminals with sand paper, etc. Soldering may not be possible if the
metallic plating is removed from the top of the terminals.
2.5 Cleaning, Coating, and Potting
Except for the FM series, cleaning, coating and potting must not be carried out. Consult KEMET if this type of procedure
is necessary. Terminals should be dried at less than the maximum operating temperature after cleaning.
3. Storage
3.1 Temperature and humidity
Makesurethatthesupercapacitorisstoredaccordingtothefollowingconditions:Temperature:5–35°C(Standard
25°C),Humidity:20–70%(Standard:50%).Donotallowthebuildupofcondensationthroughsuddentemperature
change.
3.2 Environment conditions
Make sure there are no corrosive gasses such as sulfur dioxide, as penetration of the lead terminals is possible. Always
store this item in an area with low dust and dirt levels. Make sure that the packaging will not be deformed through heavy
loading, movement and/or knocks. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from radiation, static electricity and magnetic
elds.
3.3 Maximum storage period
This item may be stored up to one year from the date of delivery if stored at the conditions stated above.
