Matters to Be Observed When Using This Product / Reference information

■ A capacitor left for a long period is prone to have a greater flow of leak current. This happens because the oxide film

deteriorates under a no-load condition. Voltage application to the capacitor reduces the leak current.

However, at the start of voltage application, a large flow of film recovery current increases the leak current, which may

cause a circuit failure, etc.

■ The storage period of a capacitor is 42 months from the shipment inspection day. However, the storage period of

capacitors not listed in the following table is specified as 12 months.

Store the capacitor in a place where a normal temperature condition (5°C to 35°C) and a normal humidity condition

(45% to 85%) are maintained and direct sunlight is blocked.

■ Avoid storing the capacitor in environments not specified in the delivery specification sheet or in the following

environments or conditions.

(1) Used at a temperature higher than the upper limit category temperature or lower than the lower limit category

temperature

(2) Environments where the capacitor is exposed to water, salt water, or oil

(3) Environments where dew concentrates on the capacitor

(4) Environments filled with a toxic gas (hydrogen sulfide, sulfurous acid, nitrous acid, chlorine and chlorine compound,

bromine and bromine compound, ammonia, etc.)

(5) Environments where the product is exposed to ozone, radiation, UV-rays, etc.

(6) Environments where vibrations or mechanical shocks exceeding a specified range is applied to the capacitor
