Cautions and warnings

Do not exceed the upper category temperature (UCT).

Do not apply any mechanical stress to the capacitor terminals.

Avoid any compressive, tensile or flexural stress.

Do not move the capacitor after it has been soldered to the PC board.

Do not pick up the PC board by the soldered capacitor.

Do not place the capacitor on a PC board whose PTH hole spacing differs from the specified

lead spacing.

Do not exceed the specified time or temperature limits during soldering.

Avoid external energy inputs, such as fire or electricity.

Avoid overload of the capacitors.

Consult us if application is with severe temperature and humidity condition.

There are no serviceable or repairable parts inside the capacitor. Opening the capacitor or

any attempts to open or repair the capacitor will void the warranty and liability of

TDK Electronics.

Please note that the standards referred to in this publication may have been revised in the

meantime.

The table below summarizes the safety instructions that must always be observed. A detailed

description can be found in the relevant sections of the chapters "General technical information"

and "Mounting guidelines".

Storage

conditions

Make sure that capacitors are stored within the

specified range of time, temperature and humidity

conditions.

"Storage conditions"

Flammability

Avoid external energy, such as fire or electricity

(passive flammability), avoid overload of the capacitors

(active flammability) and consider the flammability of

materials.

5.3

"Flammability"

Resistance to

vibration

Do not exceed the tested ability to withstand vibration.

The capacitors are tested to IEC 60068-2-6:2007.

TDK Electronics offers film capacitors specially

designed for operation under more severe vibration

regimes such as those found in automotive

applications. Consult our catalog "Film Capacitors for

Automotive Electronics".
