RATED VOLTAGE SURGE VOLTAGE
350 400
400 450
450 500
500 550

Charge/discharge
10,000,000 cycles at 25°C and rated voltage. One cycle per second with a time constant of 0.1.

DC leakage current
After application of rated d.c. voltage for 5 minutes at 20°C, the d.c. leakage current shall not exceed 0.006 CR UR or 6mA whichever is the smaller. Where CR is the rated capacitance in µF and UR is the rated d.c. voltage.

Vibration
10Hz to 55Hz at 0.75mm or 10g for 3 x 2hrs duration. Except 220mm long cans 10 - 55Hz at 0.35mm or 5g for 3 x 0.5hrs duration.

Insulation resistance
=> 100MW at 100V d.c., across the insulating sleeve.

Voltage proof
=> 2500V d.c., across the insulating sleeve.

Ripple current
The following values are approximate only, to give an indication of the effects of frequency and temperature on ripple current. More accurate data can be obtained by referring to the Application Notes.

FREQUENCY CORRECTION
Capacitors shall withstand the rated r.m.s. ripple current as given in the table at upper category temperature in circulating air. For frequencies other than those shown in the tables, the following formula should be used:

Ripple current=

A = 120Hz ripple current
B = 20kHz ripple current
F = Required frequency

TEMPERATURE CORRECTION
For ambient temperature other than 85°C the following multipliers should be applied to the 85°C ripple current.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE FACTOR
50°C 2.1
60°C 1.9
70°C 1.7
85°C 1.0

N.B. The sum of the d.c. and a.c. voltage components should not exceed the d.c. voltage rating.

Life expectancy
At rated temperature with rated voltage and ripple current applied.
