filled with a corrosive gas, such as Cl2, H2S, NH3, SO2, or NOX.
(4) Used in an environment where static electricity and electromagnetic waves are strong.
(5) The product is located close to a heating component or a flammable material, such as a vinyl cable, is placed near
the product.
(6) The product is used sealed with a resin, etc.
(7) Solder flux of the soldered product is cleansed with a solvent, water, and a water-soluble cleaner.
(Be careful with water soluble solder flux.)
(8) Used in an environment where an acidic or alkali atmosphere is present.
(9) Used in an environment where excessive vibration or impact is applied to the product.
(10) Used under a low atmospheric pressure condition or depressurized condition.
■ Cleaning can be performed with cleaning agents, including higher-grade alcohol-based cleaning solutions such as
Pine Alpha ST-100S, Cleanthru 750H, 750L, 710M, 750K, Techno Care FRW14-17, CFC substitutes such as
AK-225AES, and IPA. Please confirm the following precautions before cleaning.
(1) Use an immersion, ultrasonic wave, or other cleaning method, and the cleaning time should not exceed
2 minutes.
(2) The temperature of the cleaning solution should be less than or equal to 60°C.
(3) Control contamination of cleaning agents (conductivity, pH, specific gravity, water content, etc.).
(4) After cleaning, do not store the product in the atmosphere of the cleaning solution or in an airtight container.
(5) When drying the circuit board or this product, use hot air below the upper limit temperature of their category.
(6) Please be mindful that rubbing the printed surface of this product after cleaning may erase the markings
depending on the cleaning agent used.
(7) Please contact us separately for details on cleaning agents, cleaning methods, etc., and for cleaning
solutions other than those listed above.
■ Fixing agents and coating agents
(1) Select appropriate materials for the outer packaging and sealing materials of this product. Do not use acetone,
especially in fixing agents, coating agents, or diluents.
(2) When using a fixing agent or coating agent, ensure that no flux residue or contamination remains between
the circuit board and the sealing area of this product.
(3) Allow cleaning agents, etc. to dry before using fixing agents or coating agents.
(4) Please contact us for thermal curing conditions for fixing agents or coating agents.
■ When the capacitor is used in a circuit where an impact voltage is applied or a high voltage is applied in a short period
(transient phenomenon) or a high pulse voltage is applied, make sure to use the capacitor at a voltage equal to or
lower than its rated voltage.

Matters to Be Observed When Using This Product
Response to anomalies and handling conditions
■ The main failure mode is a short-circuit mode caused mainly by thermal stress, electrical stress, and mechanical
stress due to soldering and operating temperature environments. To prevent the occurrence of short circuits, the
following measures should be adequately taken to ensure safety.
(1) If odorous gases are generated, then turn off the main power of the set equipment and stop using it.
In this case, keep your face and hands away from the equipment.
(2) Depending on conditions, it may take several seconds to several minutes before odorous gases are generated.
When using a protection circuit, design it so that it operates during this period.
(3) If odorous gases get into your eyes or are inhaled, immediately wash your eyes with water or gargle.
(4) Do not lick the electrolyte of the product. If the electrolyte gets on your skin, then wash it off with soap.
(5) When a current value after the short of the product is extremely large, the shorted capacitor may spark out,
which, in the worst scenario, may result in ignition. Ensure the safety of the circuit by, for example, giving it a
redundant circuit structure or providing it with a protective circuit.
Reliability and product life
The failure rate of the capacitor is specified based on 0.5%*/1000 h (reliability level 60%), a failure rate conforming to
JIS C 5003 (failure rate level). This indicates that the possibility of occurrence of a failure is by no means zero.
One of the failure modes is a wear out failure. This happens when the period of guaranteeing the durability and
high-temperature/high-humidity resistance of the capacitor is over, changes in the electrical characteristics of the
capacitor (product) get larger and its electrolyte gradually deteriorates into an insulating material to create an open mode.
Another failure mode is a random failure in which a short mode results mainly because of thermal, electrical,
or mechanical stress, etc.
Circuit design and circuit board design
■ Due to reasons such as increased leakage currents, do not use this product in high impedance circuits, coupling
circuits, time constant circuits, and circuits that are significantly affected by leakage currents.
■ During circuit design, be mindful that the electrical characteristics of this product, such as capacitance and ESR, may
fluctuate within the specified ranges even under conditions that meet the rated electrical and mechanical performance.
■ Leakage currents may increase due to mechanical and thermal stress (soldering, high-temperature no-load test, etc.).
However, when the voltage (lower than or equal to the category voltage and upper limit temperature) is applied,
leakage currents gradually decrease due to the self-recovery function.
■ If an excessive rush current flows due to rapid charging and discharging, then it may lead to short circuits and increased
leakage currents. Therefore, apply a protection circuit to this product if the rush current value flowing through it is as
follows.
(1) When a rush current of 10 A or more flows through a product whose tenfold allowable ripple current is less
than 10 A.
(2) With regard to a product whose tenfold allowable ripple current is 10 A or more, when a rush current exceeding
the tenfold value flows through the product.
■ The resin on the surface of the case does not guarantee insulation. In addition, there is an indefinite resistance between
the case and the cathode terminal, and they are not insulated. Therefore, completely isolate the case from the cathode
terminal, anode terminal, and circuit pattern.
Mounting and storage conditions
■ Soldering with a soldering iron
(1) Since the lead wire pitch dimension of the radial lead type capacitor and the printed circuit board hole pitch dimension
do not match, when processing the lead wires, do not apply stress to the body before soldering.
(2) When soldering, do not apply excessive stress to the body of this product.
(3) Once the product has been soldered, when using a soldering iron to remove it, remove it after the solder has
completely melted so as not to apply stress to the electrode terminals of the product.
(4) Do not allow the tip of the soldering iron to touch the body of this product.
