11. Cautions for Use
Please be careful for following points when you use STARCAP.
1) Do not apply more than rated voltage.
If you apply more than rated voltage, STARCAP's electrolyte will be decomposed and its
ESR increase. At the worst, it may be broken.
2) Do not use STARCAP for ripple absorption.
3) Polarity
Please mount it in accordance with its polarity.
4) Operating temperature and life
Generally, STARCAP has a lower leakage current, longer back-up time and longer life
in the low temperature i.e. the room temperature. But it has a higher leakage
current, shorter back-up time and shorter life in the high temperature.
Please design to keep STARCAP away from calorific parts.
5) Cleaning
Some detergent or high temperature drying causes deterioration of STARCAP.
If you wash STARCAP, Consult us.
6) Following figure shows the general back-up circuit.
D : Diode to prevent the reverse current
R : Resistor to control the charging
current
7) Short-circuit STARCAP
You can short-circuit between terminals of STARCAP without resistor.
