Products FAQs
Selected Category：Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors
Typical aluminum electrolytic capacitors cannot be used on circuits that repeatedly charge and discharge.
We recommend you use product designed specifically for your intended purpose.
Where a capacitor is once charged and discharged with both of the terminals short-circuiting and then left the terminals open for a while, a voltage across the capacitor spontaneously increases again.
Some characteristics of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor are temperature-dependent. The higher the temperature is, the more deteriorated the capacitor will be. An increase in temperature accelerates the increase in leakage current and tanδ and the decrease in capacitance.
Tips for Selecting Capacitors Appropriate for Individual Applications
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used mainly for the filtering application of power supplies. Select appropriate capacitors for the specific requirements of each application, referring to the following examples for typical applications
Failure modes depend on the application conditions that lead to fail.
The external sleeves of aluminum electrolytic capacitors are for display purposes only and their insulation is not guaranteed (excluding screw terminal products).
We standardized the base material used in screw terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitors to PPE. As a result of this change, digit 18 of the serial number will change from M to U.
Please contact the manufacturer of the electrical equipment.
Capacitor waste is categorized as industrial waste.
When disposing of capacitors, local government regulations should be strictly observed.
Our Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors in production are RoHS2 Directive compliant.
