Modules POLARITY / REVERSE VOLTAGE In principal the positive and negative electrodes of the supercapacitors are symmetrical and in theory they should not have a polarity but for product consistency and for optimum performance the negative polarity is marked because the capacitors do not discharge completely when in use. It is recommended that the polarity should be used as marked. If the polarity is reversed the circuit will not have a catastrophic failure but the circuit will see a much higher leakage current for a short duration of time and the life time of the supercapacitors will be reduced. LIFE TIME AND TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE The life of a supercapacitor is impacted by a combination of operating voltage and the operating temperature according to the following equation: time to failure, t Vn * exp (-Q / k*T) ..............(1) where V is the voltage of operation, Q is the activation energy in electron volts (eV), k is the Boltzmann's constant in eV and T is the operating temperature in K (where K is in degrees Kelvin). Typical values for the voltage exponent, n, is between 2.5 - 3.5, and Q is between 1.0 - 1.2 eV in the normal operating temperature range of 40 to 65C. The industry standard for supercapacitor end of life is when the equivalent series resistance, ESR, increases to 200% of the original value and the capacitance drops by 30%. Typically a supercapacitor shows an initial change in the ESR value and then levels off. If the capacitors are exposed to excessive temperatures the ESR will show a continuous degradation In the extreme case, if the temperatures or voltages are substantially higher, than the rated voltage, this will lead to cell leakage or gas leakage and the product will show a faster change in the ESR which may increase to many times the original value.

We advise following these guidelines: * Do not immerse the supercapacitors in solder. Only the leads should come in contact with the solder. * Ensure that the body of the supercapacitor is not in contact with the PCB or other components during soldering. Temperature cycling during soldering may cause the case to shrink or crack, potentially damaging the PCB or other components. WAVE SOLDERING Only use wave soldering on Radial type supercapacitors. The PCB should be preheated for no longer than 60 seconds, with temperature at, or below, 100C. Soldering tin should be 0.8mm or thicker. Solder Temperature (C) 220 240 250 260 HAND SOLDERING Keep some distance between the supercapacitor body and the tip of the soldering iron; contact between supercapacitor body and soldering iron will cause extensive damage to the supercapacitor. It is recommended that the soldering iron temperature should be less than 350C, and contact time should be limited to no more than 4 seconds. Too much exposure to terminal heat during soldering can cause heat to transfer to the body of the supercapacitor, potentially damaging the supercapacitor. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Warnings * To avoid short circuit, after usage or test, supercapacitor voltage needs to discharge to 0.1V * Do not apply over-voltage, reverse charge, burn or heat higher than 150C, explosion-proof valve may break open * Do not press, damage or disassemble the supercapacitor, housing could heat to high temperature causing burns * If you observe overheating or burning smell from the capacitor disconnect power immediately, and do not touch Emergency Applications * If housing is leaking: * Skin contact: use soap and water thoroughly to wash the area of the skin * Eye contact: flush with flowing water or saline, and immediately seek medical treatment * Ingestion: immediately wash with water and seek medical treatment Transportation Suggested Solder Time (s) 7 7 5 3 Maximum Solder Time (s) 9 9 7 5 REFLOW SOLDERING Infrared or conveyor over reflow techniques can be used on these supercapacitors. Do not use a traditional reflow oven without clear rated reflow temperature for supercapacitors. Regulatory * UL 810A * RoHS Compliant * Reach Compliant / Halogen Free Storage * Capacitors may be stored within the operating temperature range of the capacitor * Lower storage temperature is preferred as it extends the shelf life of the capacitor * Do not store the supercapacitors in the following environments * High temperature / high humidity environments >70C / 40% RH * Direct sunlight * In direct contact with water, salt oil or other chemicals * In direct contact with corrosive materials, acids, alkalis, or toxic gases * Dusty environment * In environment with shock and vibration conditions Not subjected to US DOT or IATA regulations UN3499, <10Wh, Non-Hazardous Goods International shipping description - "Electronic Products - Capacitor" Licensed by CAP-XX 051818 11 NORTH AMERICA EUROPE Tel: +44 1276-697000 Tel: 864-967-2150 SOUTH AMERICA ASIA Tel: +65 6286-7555 JAPAN Tel: +81 740-321250 Tel: +55 11-46881960 Contact: http://www.avx.com
