PRECAUTIONS AND GUIDELINESFILM CAPACITORS

The circuits described as examples in this catalog and the "delivery specifications" are featured in order to show theoperations and usage of our products, however, this fact does not guarantee that the circuits are available to function in yourequipment systems.
We are not in any case responsible for any failures or damage caused by the use of information contained herein.
You should examine our products, of which the characteristics are described in the "delivery specifications" and otherdocuments, and determine whether or not our products suit your requirements according to the specifications of yourequipment systems. Therefore, you bear final responsibility regarding the use of our products.
Please make sure that you take appropriate safety measures such as use of redundant design and malfunction prevention
measures in order to prevent fatal accidents and/or fires in the event any of our products malfunction.

1 In designing device circuits(2) If a large-sized capacitor is installed and/or the device isexposed to a vibration shock, anchor the body of the capacitor to the board by means of a clamp or adhesive that
does not effect the capacitor.
(3) Do not touch the exterior cover of a capacitor to the metal
part of the device or other components.
(4) For soldering, follow the specified conditions. Because theplastic film of the capacitors is effected by heat, overheating
the capacitors during soldering causes tanδto increase.
(5) If the assembly boards are washed for the purposes of removing residual flux, follow the specified conditions.
①Alcohols, Water soluble solvents.
② Cleaning Methods Vaporized Cleaning, Dip Cleaning,
Ultrasonic Cleaning. When Cleaning, Temperature andPeriod Shall not Be Exceeded 50℃ and 5 Minutes.
③ After Treatment It is Necessary To Remove Cleaning Solvent From P.W.B. By enough Dryness.

(1) Confirming operating and installation environment,use capacitors within the performance limits prescribed in theircatalog or product specifications.
(2) Do not use capacitors at the environment of which temperature drastically changes even though it stays within theprescribed range.
(3) Do not use capacitors at the humid or dewy environment.
(4) Select the proper capacitors matching for an application.
(5) Do not use the capacitors, which have particularly been
designed for a specific application, into other applications.
In particular, do not use the capacitor samples, which areprovided for the purpose of appearance or electrical check,for other purpose.
(6) Charge and discharge cycles that are rapidly repeated atmore than the prescribed conditions causes capacitors todeteriorate in their characteristics or breakdown.

(7) Unless otherwise prescribed, do not apply the surge orripple voltage of which peak voltage exceeds the specified
full rated voltage.

3 While devices are operating(1) Do not touch a capacitor, while under load, directly withbare hands.Touching the capacitor causes a shock hazard.
(2) Even under non‒load condition, a capacitor may havecharge. Also, the capacitor that has been discharged may
be spontaneously recharged by dielectric absorption. Handle the capacitor after discharging with a discharge resistor.

(8) Where using capacitors at a rated temperature, do not apply voltage more than the derating voltage specified at thetemperature.
(9) Where using capacitors into AC or pulsing circuits, do not
apply current more than the specified maximum permissible
current. For the details, consult us.
(10) A rise in capacitor temperature, which is caused by a ripple
current, shall be so set as not to exceed the specified limit
at non-circulating air condition. Note that a capacitor changes in the temperature rise by the operating temperature as
its capacitance changes.

(3) Do not short the terminals of a capacitor by applying any
conductive object. Do not spillany electric‒conductive liquidsuch as acid or alkaline solution over the capacitor as Well.
(4) Do not use capacitors at the following environment；①Water, chemicals or oil spatters on the capacitors.
②Direct sunlight pours down onto the capacitors.

(11) The sum of ambient temperature, including the influence ofheat from other components, and the rise of temperature by
self-heating must be within the specified upper category.
(12) Do not connect capacitors in series or parallel. Consult usfor it.

③Ozone, ultraviolet rays or radiation is applied to the ca-pacitors.

④Corrosive gas is exposed to the capacitors.

2 Installation and assembly board washing

4 If a capacitor should fail while under load,(1) Do not pull or twist the lead wires of a capacitor by applying
the force more than the limits when installing the capacitor into the printed circuit board. In particular, the capacitor
shall be so installed into the board as not to have a crack inthe covering resin of the capacitor. If it cannot be avoided,use capacitors with pre-formed lead wires.

follow the below

If smoke, fire or stench should be emitted while the device isoperating, turn off or unplug the power supply of the device andthen extinguish a fire.

FILM CAPACITORSPRECAUTIONS AND GUIDELINES

5 Storage and handling(1) For the capacitors that are stored for more than a year, makesure of their characteristics and lead solder ability before use.
(2) Don't increase an excessive vibration, a shock, pressure, andso on to the capacitors.

(3) Don't add the excessive power to the lead wire.
(4) Scratching the dielectric film of a capacitor causes If a capacitor body is scratched or damaged so deep that the dielectric film is damaged, the dielectric will be destructively
damaged.Handle capacitors with care.

6 Disposal
Burning capacitors may discharge toxic gas. Ask a specialist forthe disposal of industrial wastes.

8 Response to the Substances of Concern(1) Nippon Chemi-Con aims for developing products that meetlaws and regulations concerning substances of concern.
(Some products may contain regulated substances forexempted application.)
Please contact us for more information about law-compliancestatus.
(2) According to the content of REACH handbook (Guidance onrequirements for substances in articles which is published onMay 2008), our electronic components are "articles without
any intended release". Therefore they are not applicable for"Registration" for EU REACH Regulation Article 7 (1).
