MOUNTING

Normal Use

The capacitors are designed for mounting on printed-circuit boards. The capacitors packed in bandoliers are designed for

mounting in printed-circuit boards by means of automatic insertion machines.

For detailed tape specifications refer to “Packaging Information” www.vishay.com/doc?28139 or end of catalog

Specific Method of Mounting to Withstand Vibration and Shock

In order to withstand vibration and shock tests, it must be ensure that the stand-off pips are in good contact with the

printed-circuit board:

•For pitches ≤ 15 mm capacitors shall be mechanically fixed by the leads

•For larger pitches the capacitors shall be mounted in the same way and the body clamped

Space Requirements on Printed-Circuit Board

The maximum length and width of film capacitors is shown in the drawing:

• Eccentricity as in drawing. The maximum eccentricity is smaller than or equal to the lead diameter of the product concerned

•Product height with seating plane as given by “IEC 60717” as reference: hmax. ≤ h + 0.4 mm or hmax. ≤ h’ + 0.4 mm

Storage Temperature

•Storage temperature: Tstg = - 25 °C to + 40 °C with RH maximum 80 % without condensation

Ratings and Characteristics Reference Conditions

Unless otherwise specified, all electrical values apply to an ambient free temperature of 23 °C ± 1 °C, an atmospheric pressure

of 86 kPa to 106 kPa and a relative humidity of 50 % ± 2 %.

For reference testing, a conditioning period shall be applied over 96 h ± 4 h by heating the products in a circulating air oven at

the rated temperature and a relative humidity not exceeding 20 %.

Eccentricity

Imax. = I + 0.3 mm

bmax. = b + 0.3 mm

HEAT CONDUCTIVITY (G) AS A FUNCTION OF ORIGINAL PITCH AND CAPACITOR BODY THICKNESS IN mW/°C

POWER DISSIPATION AND MAXIMUM COMPONENT TEMPERATURE RISE

The power dissipation must be limited in order not to exceed the maximum allowed component temperature rise as a function of

the free air ambient temperature.

The power dissipation can be calculated according type detail specification “HQN-384-01/101: Technical Information Film

Capacitors” with the typical tgd of the curves.

The component temperature rise (ΔT) can be measured (see section “Measuring the Component Temperature” for more details)

or calculated by ΔT = P/G:

•ΔT = Component temperature rise (°C)

•P = Power dissipation of the component (mW)

•G = Heat conductivity of the component (mW/°C)

MEASURING THE COMPONENT TEMPERATURE

A thermocouple must be attached to the capacitor body as in:

The temperature is measured in unloaded (Tamb) and maximum loaded condition (TC).

The temperature rise is given by ΔT = Tc - Tamb.

To avoid radiation or convection, the capacitor should be tested in a wind-free box.

APPLICATION NOTE AND LIMITING CONDITIONS

These capacitors are not suitable for mains applications as across-the-line capacitors without additional protection, as described

hereunder. These mains applications are strictly regulated in safety standards and therefore electromagnetic interference

suppression capacitors conforming the standards must be used.

To select the capacitor for a certain application, the following conditions must be checked:

1. The peak voltage (UP) shall not be greater than the rated DC voltage (URdc)

2. The peak-to-peak voltage (UP-P) shall not be greater than the maximum (Up-p) to avoid the ionisation inception level

3. The voltage peak slope (dU/dt) shall not exceed the rated voltage pulse slope in an RC-circuit at rated voltage and without

ringing. If the pulse voltage is lower than the rated DC voltage, the rated voltage pulse slope may be multiplied by URdc and

divided by the applied voltage.

For all other pulses following equation must be fulfilled:

T is the pulse duration

4. The maximum component surface temperature rise must be lower than the limits (see graph max. allowed component

temperature rise).

5. Since in circuits used at voltages over 280 V peak-to-peak the risk for an intrinsically active flammability after a capacitor

breakdown (short circuit) increases, it is recommended that the power to the component is limited to 100 times the values

mentioned in the table: “Heat conductivity”

6. When using these capacitors as across-the-line capacitor in the input filter for mains applications or as series connected with

an impedance to the mains the applicant must guarantee that the following conditions are fulfilled in any case (spikes and

surge voltages from the mains included).
