Hybrid polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitors

B40921

Very compact, very high ripple current – 125 °C

Cautions and warnings

Personal safety

The electrolytes used have been optimized both with a view to the intended application and with

regard to health and environmental compatibility. They do not contain any solvents that are de-

trimental to health, e.g. dimethyl formamide (DMF) or dimethyl acetamide (DMAC). Furthermore,

some of the high-voltage electrolytes used are self-extinguishing.

As far as possible, we do not use any dangerous chemicals or compounds to produce operating

electrolytes, although in exceptional cases, such materials must be used in order to achieve spe-

cific physical and electrical properties because no alternative materials are currently known.

We do, however, restrict the amount of dangerous materials used in our products to an absolute

minimum.

Materials and chemicals used in our aluminum electrolytic capacitors are continuously adapted in

compliance with the TDK Electronics Corporate Environmental Policy and the latest EU regula-

tions and guidelines such as RoHS, REACH/SVHC, GADSL, and ELV.

MDS (Material Data Sheets) are available on our website for all types listed in the data book.

MDS for customer specific capacitors are available upon request.

MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) are available for our electrolytes upon request.

Nevertheless, the following rules should be observed when handling aluminum electrolytic capa-

citors: No electrolyte should come into contact with eyes or skin. If electrolyte does come into con-

tact with the skin, wash the affected areas immediately with running water. If the eyes are affected,

rinse them for 10 minutes with plenty of water. If symptoms persist, seek medical treatment. Avoid

inhaling electrolyte vapor or mists. Workplaces and other affected areas should be well ventilated.

Clothing that has been contaminated by electrolyte must be changed and rinsed in water.
