FEATURES

• Polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors,

non-solid electrolyte

• Axial leads, cylindrical aluminum case,

insulated with a blue sleeve

• Mounting ring version not available in insulated form

• Taped versions up to case Ø 15 x 30 mm available for

automatic insertion

• Charge and discharge proof

• Miniaturized, high CV-product per unit volume

• Lead (Pb)-free versions are RoHS compliant

APPLICATIONS

• General purpose, industrial, automotive, audio-video

• Coupling, decoupling, smoothing, filtering, buffering

• Portable and mobile equipment (small size, low mass)

• Low mounting height boards, vibration and shock resistant

MARKING

The capacitors are marked (where possible) with the

following information:

• Rated capacitance (in µF)

• Tolerance on rated capacitance, code letter in accordance

with IEC 60062 (M for ± 20 %)

• Rated voltage (in V)

• Upper category temperature (85 °C)

• Date code in accordance with IEC 60062

• Code for factory of origin

• Name of manufacturer

• Band to indicate the negative terminal

• “+” sign to identify the positive terminal

(not for case sizes L < 18 mm)

• Series number (021)
