Overall Document Description:

This is a datasheet for a series of electrolytic capacitors manufactured by DBLECTRO Inc. It contains technical specifications, dimensions, ripple current ratings, and test conditions.

1. Key Capacitor Series Features

️· Type: Electrolytic Capacitor
️· Application: General purpose
️· Operating Temperature: Typically -40°C to +85°C (specific values may vary)

2. Capacitance Range & Dimensions

The table provides a range of capacitance values (0.1uF to 470uF) and their corresponding dimensions (length x width in millimeters). Here's a breakdown of a few highlights:

️· Lower Capacitance (0.1uF - 2.2uF): Generally uses a 4 x 7 mm form factor.
️· Higher Capacitance (10uF - 470uF): The dimensions increase with capacitance. 6.3 x 7mm, 8x7mm, and even larger sizes are used.
- For 100uF, the dimensions are 5 x 7mm.
- For 470uF, the dimensions are 8 x 7mm.

3. Electrical Specifications (Important Values):

️· Permissible Ripple Current: This is the maximum alternating current (RMS) the capacitor can handle at a given frequency and temperature without overheating. It increases with capacitance.
️· Load Test: These tests involve applying the rated voltage (WV) for extended periods at a high temperature (+85°C) to ensure long-term reliability.
- Capacitance Change: The capacitor's capacitance should remain within ±20% of its initial value after the load test.
- tan δ (Dissipation Factor): This should not exceed a certain percentage of its initial specified value after the load test.
- Leakage Current: This should remain below a set value after the load test.
️· Shelf Test: No voltage is applied, and the capacitor is stored at +85°C for 500 hours.
- Capacitance Change: The capacitor's capacitance should remain within ±20% of its initial value after the shelf test.
- tan δ (Dissipation Factor): This should not exceed a certain percentage of its initial specified value after the shelf test.
- Leakage Current: This should remain below a set value after the shelf test.

4. Terminology & Key Acronyms:

️· WV: Working Voltage (rated voltage)
️· uF: Microfarad (unit of capacitance)
️· mA (rms): Milliamps Root Mean Square (unit of AC current)
️· tan δ: Dissipation Factor
️· dBLECTRO: The manufacturer of these capacitors
