PRECAUTIONS
(1) During transportation and storage
Do not transport or store where the capacitor will be exposed to
high temperature or high humidity.
Do not expose to poisonous gases such as H2SO4, HCl, or
HNO3.
Avoid excessive impact such as that caused by falling.
(2) During operation
Avoid contact with electrolytes such as perspiration. Do not
touch with bare hands.
Avoid excessive impact such as that caused by falling.
Do not apply solder to stud terminals.
Do not re-machine the terminals.
(3) Usage
When the capacitor is used for high-speed pulses such as with a
laser, make sure that the impressed voltage (peak-to-peak volt-
age) is within the capacitors rated specifications.
Make sure that the capacitor is not exposed to radiant heat from
chambers or transformers.
