Application Guidelines
1. Circuit Design
E n s u r e t h a t operational and mounting conditions
follw the specified conditions detailed in the catalog
and specification sheets.
1.2 Operating Temperature and Life Expectancy
(1) Expected life is affected by operating temperature.
Generally, each 10°C reduction in temperature
will double the expected life. Use capacitors at
the lowest possible temperature below the
maximum guaranteed temperature.
(2) I f o p e ra t i n g c o n d i t i o n s ex c e e d t h e m a x i m u m
guaranteed limit, rapid eIectrical parameter
deterioration will occur, and irreversible damage
will result.
Check for maximum capacitor operating tempera-
tures including ambient temperature, inter nal
capacitor temperature rise caused by ripple current,
a n d t h e e f fe c t s o f r a d i a t e d h e a t f r o m p ow e r
transistors, IC?s or resistors.
Avoid placing components which could conduct
heat to the capacitor from the back side of the circuit
board.
(3)The formula for calculating expected Iife at lower
operating temperatures is as fllows;

t e m p e r a t u r e a n d f r e q u e n c y. C i r c u i t d e s i g n e r s
should take these changes into consideration.

(2) Effects of fr e q u e n c y on e l e c t r i c a l p a r a m e t e r s
a)At higher frequencies, capacitance and
impedance decrease while tan

increases.
b)At lower frequencies, r ipple current generated
