SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Warnings

• To avoid short circuit, after usage or test, SuperCapacitor

voltage needs to discharge to ≤ 0.1V

• Do not apply over-voltage, reverse charge, burn or heat higher

than 150°C, explosion-proof valve may break open

• Do not press, damage or disassemble the SuperCapacitor,

housing could heat to high temperature causing burns

• If you observe overheating or burning smell from the capacitor

disconnect power immediately, and do not touch

Emergency Applications

• If housing is leaking:

• Skin contact: use soap and water thoroughly to wash the

area of the skin

• Eye contact: flush with flowing water or saline, and

immediately seek medical treatment

• Ingestion: immediately wash with water and seek medical

treatment

Regulatory

• UL 810A

• RoHS Compliant

• Reach Compliant / Halogen Free

Storage

• Capacitors may be stored within the operating temperature

range of the capacitor

• Lower storage temperature is preferred as it extends the shelf

life of the capacitor

• Do not store the SuperCapacitors in the following environments

• High temperature / high humidity environments

>70°C / 40% RH

• Direct sunlight

• In direct contact with water, salt oil or other chemicals

• In direct contact with corrosive materials, acids, alkalis, or

toxic gases

• Dusty environment

• In environment with shock and vibration conditions

SOLDERING RECOMMENDATIONS

When soldering SuperCapacitors to a PCB, the temperature & time

that the body of the SuperCapacitor sees during soldering can have a

negative effect on performance. We advise following these guidelines:

• Do not immerse the SuperCapacitors in solder. Only the leads should

come in contact with the solder.

• Ensure that the body of the SuperCapacitor is not in contact with the

PCB or other components during soldering. Temperature cycling

during soldering may cause the case to shrink or crack, potentially

damaging the PCB or other components.

HAND SOLDERING

Keep some distance between the SuperCapacitor body and the tip

of the soldering iron; contact between SuperCapacitor body and

soldering iron will cause extensive damage to the SuperCapacitor. It is

recommended that the soldering iron temperature should be less than

350°C, and contact time should be limited to no more than 4 seconds.

Too much exposure to terminal heat during soldering can cause heat

to transfer to the body of the SuperCapacitor, potentially damaging the

SuperCapacitor.

WAVE SOLDERING

Only use wave soldering on Radial type SuperCapacitors. The PCB

should be preheated for no longer than 60 seconds, with temperature

at, or below, 100°C. Soldering tin should be 0.8mm or thicker.

REFLOW SOLDERING

Infrared or conveyor over reflow techniques can be used on these

SuperCapacitors. Do not use a traditional reflow oven without clear

rated reflow temperature for SuperCapacitors.
