Matters to Be Observed When Using This Product
Matters to Be Observed When Using This Product
(Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid Capacitors / POSCAP)
Use environments and cleaning conditions
■ This product (capacitor) is intended for standard general-purpose use in electronic equipment, and is not designed for
use in the specific environments described below. Using the product in such specific environments or service conditions,
therefore, may affect the performance of the product.
Please check with us about the performance and reliability of the product first before using the product.
(1) Used in liquid, such as water, oil, chemicals, and organic solvents.
(2) Used in a place exposed to direct sunlight, an outdoor place with no shielding, or a dusty place.
(3) Used in a wet place (dew concentration on a resistor, water leakage, etc.), a place exposed to sea breeze, or a place
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.
■ 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.
Response to anomalies and handling conditions
■ A short mode is a major failure mode in a capacitor. A short mode is caused by thermal stress created by soldering or
a high service temperature, electric stress, mechanical stress, etc. When the capacitor has shorted, take the following
steps to ensure your safety.
(1) When you see smoke coming out of the shorted product, turn off the main power supply to stop using the capacitor.
Do not place your face or hand near to the smoldering capacitor.
(2) The time a shorted capacitor takes to generate smoke ranges from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on
service conditions. If you incorporate a protective circuit, design the circuit to activate in the time preceding the smoke
generation.
(3) In case smoke gets into your eyes or comes into your mouth, wash the eyes with water or rinse out the mouth
immediately.
(4) 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.
* The failure rate of a small POSCAP of a B2 size or smaller is 1.0%.

Matters to Be Observed When Using This Product / Reference Information
Circuit design and circuit board design
■ Do not use this capacitor in a high-impedance voltage holding circuit, a coupling circuit, a time constant circuit, or a circuit
widely affected by leak current.
■ The capacitor is incorporated and used in a circuit where the capacitor operates within a rating range specified in the
specifications. Set a service temperature within a specified category temperature range. Do not let a current larger than
the allowable ripple current flow in the circuit. Reduce a ripple current to the extent at which the surface temperature of
the capacitor’s top does not exceed the rated temperature.
(For information about TQC series, please contact us separately.)
■ Electrical characteristics values listed in a characteristics table, such as a capacitance and an ESR, are values specified
at shipment of the capacitor. These values may change when departing from the specified values in the table under certain
electrical or mechanical performance condition. Be careful in choosing a capacitor with the intended electrical characteristics
in your design work. Besides, temperature/frequency fluctuations can cause the capacitor’s electrical characteristics to
change. Confirm such changes in the electrical characteristics and then proceed with your circuit design.
■ A leak current may increase even when soldering conditions are within a specified range. The leak current may increase
also in a high-temperature non-load test or humidity-resistance non-load test, in which no voltage is applied, a temperature
cycle test, etc. In such cases, applying a voltage at a temperature equal to or lower than the highest service temperature
of the capacitor reduces the leak current gradually.
■ A flow of excessively large rush current created by rapid charge/discharge may result in short circuit or an increase in
leak current. When a rush current value exceeds 20 A*, apply a protective circuit to the product.
Note that at leak current measurement, a protective resistance of about 1 kΩ is put in the circuit before the capacitance
is charged or discharges.
Mounting and storage conditions
■ Set soldering conditions within a specified range. Stricter soldering conditions outside the specified range will cause the
deterioration of the electrical characteristics and service life characteristics.
■ The capacitor must be kept in storage in an environment that avoids dropping soldering performance or caused trouble
with soldering because of moisture absorption by an exterior resin. Store the capacitor, which is put together with a reel
in an airtight moisture-proof bag, in a place where a normal temperature and humidity (15 ℃ to 35 ℃ and 45%RH to 75%RH)
are maintained and direct sunlight is blocked. The storage period is 18 months or less after shipment from the factory.
■ Unseal the bag to take out the capacitor right before mounting it on a circuit. Once you take out the capacitor, make sure
to use it up. Storage periods for capacitors taken out of bags are as follows.
* These products do not conform to the entire requirements defined in JEDEC J-STD-020 and J-STD-033.
(1) Level 2a
(2) Level 3
(3) Level 5
: four weeks at a temperature and a humidity equal to or lower than 30 ℃ and 60 %RH
