3.Applied Voltage

1. Do not apply a voltage to the capacitor that exceeds the rated voltage as called-out in the specifications.

1-1. Applied voltage between the terminals of a capacitor shall be less than or equal to the rated voltage.

(1) When AC voltage is superimposed on DC voltage, the zero-to-peak voltage shall not exceed the

rated DC voltage.

When AC voltage or pulse voltage is applied, the peak-to-peak voltage shall not exceed the

rated DC voltage.

(2) Abnormal voltages (surge voltage, static electricity, pulse voltage, etc.) shall not exceed the

rated DC voltage.

Typical voltage applied to the DC capacitor

DC voltage

DC voltage+AC

AC voltage

Pulse voltage

（E：Maximum possible applied voltage.）

1-2. Influence of overvoltage

Overvoltage that is applied to the capacitor may result in an electrical short circuit caused by the

breakdown of the internal dielectric layers .

The time duration until breakdown depends on the applied voltage and the ambient temperature.

4. Applied Voltage and Self-heating Temperature

1. When the capacitor is used in a high-frequency voltage, pulse voltage, application,

be sure to take into account self-heating may be caused by resistant factors of the capacitor.

1-1. The load should be contained to the level such that when measuring at atomospheric temperature

of 25℃,the product's self-heating remains below 20℃ and surface temperature of the capacitor in the

actual circuit remains wiyhin the maximum operating temperature.
