Data Sheet

• Petroleum system solvents: may cause degeneration of the rubber seal material
• Alkali system solvents: may cause corrosion and dissolve of the casing
• Halogenated solvents: may cause corrosion and failure of the capacitor
• Acetone: component marking may be erased
• Aromatic solvents like xylene: may cause deterioration of the rubber seal material
• Verify the following points when washing is are applied to capacitors:
• Please monitor conductivity, ph-value, specific gravity and the water content of cleaning agents. Contamination adversely affects these
characteristics.
• Be sure to not expose the capacitors under solvent rich conditions or keep capacitors inside a closed container. In addition, please dry
the solvents on the PCB and the capacitor sufficiently with an air knife (temperature should be less than the maximum rated category
temperature of the capacitor) for 10 minutes.
• Capacitors can be characteristically and catastrophically damaged by halogen ions, particularly by chlorine ions. The degree of the
damage mainly depends upon the characteristics of the electrolyte and rubber seal material. When halogen ions come into contact with
the inside of the capacitors, the foil may corrode, when a voltage is applied. This corrosion causes an extremely high leakage current,
which results in venting and an open circuit defect.
All other cleaning processes and cleaning agents are not approved by Würth Elektronik eiSos. All cleaning methods need to be tested and
validated by the customer.
Adhesives and Coating Materials:
The usage of any adhesive or coating material, which is containing halogenated solvents, is not allowed.Before applying adhesives or
coating materials, make sure that the following points are fulfilled:
• Take care that the surface and capacitor is dry and clean before applying adhesive or coating, to avoid any contamination with flux
residues or cleaning solvents.
• Assure that no flux residue or spot is left between the rubber seal material of the capacitor and the PCB.
• Do not fully cover the entire rubber seal surface with adhesive, coating or molding materials. Otherwise the covering of the full rubber
seal surface may restrain the natural diffusion of hydrogen gas. Block maximum 80% of the sealed section of a capacitor.
• If the used adhesive, coating or molding material is containing halogen ions in a large amount, the halogen ions can diffuse and creep
into the capacitor and can damage the capacitor. Both above explained circumstances can result in serious failures.
• Follow the specified heating and curing instructions given by supplier of the used adhesive or coating material. Avoid excessive pressure
or heat on the capacitor by applying coating or adhesive.
• Take care that hardening of adhesive, coating material was correctly done, so that no solvents do remain.
• Be aware, that used solvents within adhesive and coating materials can damage the sleeve of the capacitor and can result in changes of
the appearance of the sleeve (color, shine and marking).
Mechanical Stress on lead wire and terminal:
Do not stress the capacitor with the following actions:
• Applying any excessive force to the lead wire or terminal.
• Move or turn the capacitor after soldering to the PCB.
• Bending pins after soldering.
• Carrying the PCB by picking / holding the board via a capacitor.
Operation and Usage of the Capacitor:
In operation and usage take care about the following points.Do not use the capacitor within the following environmental conditions:
• Environment with high mechanical stress / shocks or vibration (please see this specific datasheet for permitted limits).
• Environment with high amount of damp condensation, water or types of oil.
• Direct sunlight, ozone, any kind of radiation or ultraviolet rays.
• Toxic gases (e.g. ammonium, chlorine and compounds, bromine and compounds, hydrogen sulfide, sulfuric acid).
User should never touch the terminals of the capacitor directly.Avoid short circuit between terminals with any kind of conductive material (e.
g. metal, fluid, acid, alkaline solution).
Maintenance:
For industrial applications it is recommended to perform periodic inspections. Power supplies shall be turned off before inspection to
discharge the capacitor. Check the following points in case of an inspection:
• Visual inspection of the capacitor to see, if the vent operated for pressure relief and if any leakage of electrolyte has taken place.
• Measurement of electrical characteristics of the capacitor (according to datasheet, especially leakage current, capacitance and ESR).
In case of deviation or failure according to the specified characteristics, take care to start appropriate actions (e.g. replacement of capacitor).
Emergency Case:
In case of excessive pressure within the capacitor the vent may operate and release this pressure. In case of vent operation gas becomes
visible, when the component is in operation. If so, directly turn off the application and disconnect it from the power source. If the application
will not be turned off, a possible short circuit of capacitor or a short circuit due to bridging of liquefied gas can possibly damage the circuit
and in worst case the application may be dramatically damaged.Do not stay or position body or face above or in direction of the vent,
because in the event of any vent operation, the releasing gas temperature may have over 100 °C.In case of contact with the electrolyte on
skin, wash the skin immediately with soap and water. If the eyes will get in contact with the releasing gas, immediately wash the eyes with
water. Whether the gas was inhaled, directly use gargle.
Disposal:
This capacitor shall be disposed of as industrial waste in accordance with local laws and regulations. Discharge capacitor before disposal.
Never throw this device into fire. To avoid any explosion of capacitor, punch holes into the can or crush the capacitor before industrial waste
incineration.
