resistance allowed

• Reverse DC voltage up to 0.3 x U

• AC voltage up to 0.8 x U

APPLICATIONS

• Audio-video, automotive, industrial high temperature and

telecommunication

• Smoothing, filtering and buffering

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) and category voltage if applicable

• Date code in accordance with IEC60062

• Name of manufacturer

• ‘I’ sign to indicate the negative terminal

• ‘+’ sign to identify the positive terminal

• Series number

MOUNTING

When bending, cutting or straightening the leads, ensure that

the capacitor body is relieved of stress.

Bending after soldering must be avoided.
