7. Instructions of Capacitors
7.1 Cautions on use of Capacitor
7.1.1 Polarity
Solid electrolytic capacitors are polarized capacitors. Use capacitors after verifying their
positive and negative polarities. If these capacitors are installed in the reverse polarity,
its life may shorten because of increasing leakage current or short circuit.
7.1.2 Types of circuits in which capacitors are prohibited from being used AR5K series may
be heated by soldering to increase in its leakage current slightly. This may have some
influence on the characteristics capacitors in the following circuits.
(1) Time constant circuit
(2) Coupling circuit
(3) High impedance voltage holding circuit
(4) Connection of two or more capacitors in series for higher withstand voltage.
7.1.3 Over voltage
If AR5K series is applied a voltage higher than the rated voltage for an instantaneous
period, it may be defected due to short circuit. Note that the voltage over the rated
voltage must not be applied to capacitors.
7.1.4 Repeat of rapid charging and discharging
If AR5K series is used in a rapid charging and discharging circuit or receive the flow of
excess rush current, its life may shorten by large leakage current or short circuit. The
charging and discharging current through AR5K series should be less than 10A.
7.1.5 Soldering
Capacitors should be soldered under the soldering conditions defined in the delivery
specifications. Some improper soldering condition may cause the leakage current of
capacitors to increase or other parameters to change.
7.1.6 Use of capacitors for industrial equipment
When capacitors are used for industrial equipment, the circuits should be designed to
have sufficient margins in the ratings of capacitors including capacitance and
impedance. Without sufficient margins in the characteristics, the reliability of the
capacitors may be reduced by their shorter life. Always contact us if you want to use
capacitors for equipment affecting human lives such as space, aviation, atomic power,
and medical devices. Never use capacitors for the used without our prior approval.

7.2 Notes on circuit designs for capacitors
7.2.1 Rating and performance
Use capacitors within the rating and performance ranges defined in the brochures and
delivery specification of capacitors after checking the operating and installation
environments.
7.2.2 Operating temperature
If AR5K series is used at a temperature higher than the upper specified temperature
(105oC), its life may be remarkably shortened or the leakage current may increase to
cause defective.
7.2.3 Ripple current
Never make current larger than the rated ripple current through AR5K series. If excess
ripple current flows through AR5K series, internal heat may be generated largely to
make its life shortened or cause it to be defected due to short circuit.
7.2.4 Leakage current
Depending on the soldering conditions, the leakage current of AR5K series may
increase slightly. The application of DC voltage enables the capacitors to be repaired by
itself. This leads the leakage current to be smaller gradually. The leakage current can be
reduced fast if the DC voltage, which is less than the rating voltage, is applied at the
temperature close to the upper specified temperature.
7.2.5 Applied voltage
(1) To secure the reliability of capacitors, it is recommended that the voltage applied to
them should be less than 80% of the rated voltage.
(2) The peak value of the ripple voltage superimposed with the DC voltage should be
less than the rated voltage.
7.2.6 Failure mode
AR5K series contains a conductive polymer as material of cathode electrode.
Therefore, like other solid electrolyte capacitors, the life ends mostly due to random
failure mode, mainly short circuit. If a current continuously flow through the capacitor
due to short circuit, the capacitor would be overheated higher than 300°C and then
aluminum case of the capacitor would be removed by increasing internal pressure due
to the vaporization of materials.

7.2.7 Insulation
(1) Plastic coated case of capacitors is not secured to insulate. Do not use capacitors in
areas requiring insulation.
(2) Isolate the case of AR5K series from the positive and negative terminals and
adjacent circuit patterns.
7.2.8 Design of printed circuit board
Take note on the following subjects when capacitors are installed on printed circuit
boards:
(1) Verify that the lead spacing fit hole pitches on printed circuit board.
(2) Do not place heating components on boards to be close to capacitors or in the
backside of them.
(3) If capacitors are mounted on a double-sided PC board, design the board so that
extra or through holes may not be opened below them.
7.2.9 Parallel connection
If AR5K series is connected with another type of a capacitor in parallel, larger ripple
current may flow through one of capacitors. Take the current balance among them into
account in circuit designs.
7.2.10 Using temperature and frequency
The electric characteristics of capacitors depend on the variations of the ambient
temperature and frequency. Check the variations in designing circuits.
7.3 Notes on installation of capacitors
7.3.1 Notes on pre-installation of capacitors
(1) Do not reuse capacitors installed in a unit with the power supply turned on for
another unit. No used capacitors shall be reused excluding those removed to
measure their electric characteristics in periodical inspection.
(2) If AR5K series stored for a long period may often increase in its leakage current,
connect a resistor of approximately 1k to the capacitors for voltage treatment.
7.3.2 Notes at installation of capacitors
(1) Install capacitors in a unit after confirming that their ratings (rated capacitance and
rated voltages) meet the conditions of the unit.
(2) Install capacitors in the correct polarities.
(3) Take care not to drop capacitors on floors. Do not use capacitors dropped on floors.
(4) Do not deform capacitors to install them in units.

(5) Install AR5K series on a printed circuit board after confirming that its lead pitch is
equivalent to the corresponding hole pitch.
(6) At the picking, mounting, and locating by an automatic inserter or the cutting of the
leads of AR5K series by an automatic mounter, some stress may be applied to the
AR5K series. Take note on the shock.
(7) Do not apply any excess force with the terminals of capacitors.
7.3.3 Heating
In preheating or heating for adhesion and fixing of other electronic components, the
temperature put to capacitors should be less than 120°C. The total heating period
should be shorter the 90 seconds.
7.3.4 Soldering by soldering iron
(1) Capacitors should be soldered under the conditions as follows:
The iron tip at the temperature of 40010°C or less may be put to each lead of AR5K
series for shorter than 3+1 seconds.
(2) The lead wire terminations of capacitors may be required to be processed because
the distance between the terminals is not equivalent to that of corresponding holes
on the printed circuit board. Process the terminations so that no stress may be
applied to the capacitors itself before soldering.
(3) Do not make the tip of a soldering iron be in contact with capacitors themselves.
(4) The leakage current of soldered capacitors may increase slightly depending on
several conditions including pre-heating, soldering temperature and period, and
board material and thickness. However, the leakage current decreases gradually by
the self-repair characteristic of capacitors when they are used with voltage
application.
7.3.5 Flow soldering
(1) Do not dip capacitors themselves into melted solder in soldering. Only provide
soldering for the board surface in the backside of the surface on which the capacitors
are mount
(2) Solder capacitors under the soldering conditions as follows.
(a) Pre-heat condition: atmosphere temperature 120°C or less for up to 90 seconds
(b) Soldering condition: solder temperature 260°C or less for up to 10 seconds.
(3) Note that flux may not adhere to any substances except lead wires.
(4) Do not make any other components fallen at capacitors in soldering.

7.3.6 Handling of capacitors after soldering
(1) Do not incline, bend, and twist capacitors.
(2) Do not grab capacitors as a handle to carry the printed circuit board.
(3) Do not hit objects against capacitors. When printed circuit boards are piled up, do not
make them and/or other components be in contact with capacitors.
(4) Do not drop printed circuit boards with capacitors installed.
7.3.7 Cleaning of printed circuit board
As long as the cleaning agents prescribed in the catalogue or the specification sheet are
used, the cleaning does not give the capacitors any damage. For CFCs substitutions
and other cleaning agents, consult us before actual use.
7.3.8 Fixing and coating materials
Contact us for fixing and coating materials appropriate for capacitors and their heat
curing conditions.
7.4 Notes on use of capacitors in unit
(1) Never make your fingers contact with the lead wire terminations of capacitors.

(3) Confirm that the unit including capacitors is placed in proper conditions. Do not place the
unit in the following areas:
(a) Area in which they are directly exposed to water, brine, or oil or in condensation
status.
(b) Area filled with poisonous gases including hydrogen sulfide, sulfurous acid, nitrous
acid, chlorine and ammonia.
(c) Area to which ultraviolet and/or radial rays are radiated
(4) Provide aging for a unit containing capacitors within the period defined for them.
(5) It is recommended to use a unit containing capacitors in the normal temperature range
of 15oC to 35oC and the normal humidity range of 75% or less.
7.5 Action at emergency
(1) At the occurrence of short circuit in AR5K series, some heat is generated from it if the
short-current rather small. If the short current exceeds the above value, the capacitors is
heated excessively. If so, turn off the power of the unit without your face and hands
being close to the capacitors.
(2) Never lick the electrolyte of conductive polymer in capacitors. If the electrolyte is put on
your skin, wash it away carefully with soap.
(3) The materials of seal rubber used for capacitors are flammable. If an adjacent
component is burned, seal rubber of the capacitors may burn. Take sufficient note on
the installation procedures and locations of capacitors and the pattern designs of printed
circuit boards.
7.6 Storage
(1) Store capacitors in an area in the temperature range between 15°C to 35°C and the
relative humidity of 75% or less without direct sunshine. In addition, store them in the
package states if possible.
(2) Capacitors should be stored for up to three years to maintain their good soldering
features and characteristics.
(3) Capacitors are recommended that you shall open the bag just before use and capacitors
shall be used up. If some quantity was not need, please seal it with adhesive tape.
(4) Never store capacitors in any area in which they are directly exposed to water, brine, or
oil or in condensation status.
(5) Never store capacitors in any area filled with poisonous gases including hydrogen
sulfide, sulfurous acid, nitrous acid, chlorine, and ammonia.
(6) Never store capacitors in any area to which ultraviolet and/or radial rays are radiated.
