MOUNTING
Normal Use
The capacitors are designed for mounting on printed-circuit boards. The capacitors packed in bandoliers are designed for
mounting in printed-circuit boards by means of automatic insertion machines.
For detailed tape specifications refer to type detail information: www.vishay.com/doc?28139
Specific Method of Mounting to Withstand Vibration and Shock
In order to withstand vibration and shock tests, it must be ensured that the underside of this product is in good contact with the

POWER DISSIPATION AND MAXIMUM COMPONENT TEMPERATURE RISE
The power dissipation must be limited in order not to exceed the maximum allowed component temperature rise as a function
of the free ambient temperature.
The power dissipation can be calculated according type detail specification “HQN-384-01/101: Technical Information Film
Capacitors”, www.vishay.com/doc?28147.
The component temperature rise (ΔT) can be measured (see section “Measuring the component temperature” for more details)
or calculated by ΔT = P/G:
• ΔT = component temperature rise (°C)
• P = power dissipation of the component (mW)
• G = heat conductivity of the component (mW/°C)
MEASURING THE COMPONENT TEMPERATURE
A thermocouple must be attached to the capacitor body as in:
Thermocouple
The temperature is measured in unloaded (Tamb) and maximum loaded condition (TC).
The temperature rise is given by ΔT = TC - Tamb.
To avoid radiation or convection, the capacitor should be tested in a wind-free box.
APPLICATION NOTE AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
These capacitors are not suitable for mains applications as across-the-line capacitors.
For capacitors connected in parallel, normally the proof voltage and possibly the rated voltage must be reduced. For information
depending of the capacitance value and the number of parallel connections contact: dc-film@vishay.com
To select the capacitor for a certain application, the following conditions must be checked:
1. The peak voltage (UP) shall not be greater than the rated DC voltage (URDC)
2. The peak-to-peak voltage (UP-P) shall not be greater than 2√2 x URAC to avoid the ionization inception level
3. The voltage peak slope (dU/dt) shall not exceed the rated voltage pulse slope in an RC-circuit at rated voltage and without
ringing. If the pulse voltage is lower than the rated DC voltage, the rated voltage pulse slope may be multiplied by URDC and
divided by the applied voltage.
For all other pulses following equation must be fulfilled:
T
dU 2
dU
2 x ------- x dt < U RDC x -------
dt
dt rated
0
4.
5.
6.
7.
T is the pulse duration.
The rated voltage pulse slope is valid for ambient temperatures up to 85 °C. For higher temperatures a derating factor of
3 % per K shall be applied.
The maximum component surface temperature rise must be lower than the limits (see figure Max. Allowed Component
Temperature Rise).
Since in circuits used at voltages over 280 V peak-to-peak the risk for an intrinsically active flammability after a capacitor
breakdown (short circuit) increases, it is recommended that the power to the component is limited to 100 times the values
mentioned in the table: “Heat Conductivity”
When using these capacitors as across-the-line capacitor in the input filter for mains applications the applicant must
guarantee that the following conditions are fulfilled in any case (spikes and surge voltages from the mains included).
For continuous use as series connection with an impedance to the mains, please refer to application note
www.vishay.com/doc?28153.
