Axial Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors – PEG130 Series, 105ºC

Shelf Life

The capacitance, ESR and impedance of a capacitor will not change significantly after extended storage periods, however the leakage

current will very slowly increase. KEMET products are particularly stable and allow a shelf life in excess of ten years at 40°C. See

sectional specification under each product series for specific data.

Failure Rate

Estimated field failure rate: ≤ 0.15 ppm (failures per year/produced number of capacitors per year).

The expected failure rate for this capacitor range is based on field experience for capacitors with structural similarity.

Environmental Compliance

As an environmentally conscious company, KEMET is working continuously with improvements concerning the environmental effects

of both our capacitors and their production. In Europe (RoHS Directive) and in some other geographical areas like China, legislation

has been put in place to prevent the use of some hazardous materials, such as lead (Pb), in electronic equipment. All products in this

catalog are produced to help our customers’ obligations to guarantee their products and fulfill these legislative requirements. The only

material of concern in our products has been lead (Pb), which has been removed from all designs to fulfill the requirement of containing

less than 0.1% of lead in any homogeneous material. KEMET will closely follow any changes in legislation world wide and makes any

necessary changes in its products, whenever needed.

Some customer segments such as medical, military and automotive electronics may still require the use of lead in electrode coatings.

To clarify the situation and distinguish products from each other, a special symbol is used on the packaging labels for RoHS compatible

capacitors.

Because of customer requirements, there may appear additional markings such as LF (Lead Free) or LFW (Lead Free Wires) on the

label.
