Capacitors

Directions for use

FPCAP is a functional polymer capacitor with polarity, then do not reverse the polarity when using.
If it is used with the polarities reversed, swelled case, increased leakage current or a decreased life span may result.

2. Loading Voltages

Applying surge voltage is guaranteed, but over voltage exceeding the surge voltage may not be applied even for an instant as it may cause a short circuit or swelled case. Therefore, use the FPCAP within rated voltage when continuous load is applied.

3. Sudden charge and discharge

Sudden charge and discharge restricted (for maintenance of high-proof reliability).
A protection circuit is recommended for when a sudden charge or discharge causes excessive rush current because this is a main cause of short circuits and large leakage current.
Use protection circuit when the rush current value is ten times larger than the allowable ripple current value and for circuits whose rush current value exceeds 10A.
Be sure to insert a protection resister of about 1kΩ for charge and discharge when measuring the leakage current.

4. Soldering

The soldering conditions are to be within the range prescribed in the specification. If the specifications are not followed, there is the possibility of the appearance becoming defective and of increase of leak current and capacity reduction when soldering is conducted under conditions that are harsher than those stipulated.

5. PC board installations

The design must give consideration to the standard of lead position displacement giver in the specification.
The FPCAP may not be able to be inserted in the PC board if there is insufficient space.
If Lead wires are applied large stress like as tensile stress, inner contacts are given damages, then opened safety vent, occurred short circuit or increased leakage current may result, when applying power.

6. Directions for use circuits

Since problems can be expected due to the leakage current fluctuations that occur during soldering and other processes, the FPCAP cannot be used to the following circuits.

To insure reliability when the FPCAP is used in industrial equipment, design must allow for its capacitors, impedance, and other characteristics.

8. Using in equipment regarding human life

The above products are designed, developed and manufactured as contemplated for general use, including without limitation, ordinary industrial use, general office use, personal use, and household use.
