Radial Leaded Ceramic Disc Capacitors
Safety Standard Recognized, ERK610 Series, Encapsulated, X1 440 VAC/Y2 300 VAC (Industrial Grade)
Application Notes:
Storage and Operating Conditions:
The insulating coating of these devices does not form an air and moisture-tight seal. Avoid exposure to moisture and do not
use or store these devices in a corrosive atmosphere, especially where chloride gas, sulfide gas, acid, alkali, salt, or the like
are present. Before cleaning, bonding or molding these devices, it is important to verify that your process does not affect
product quality and performance. KEMET recommends testing and evaluating the performance of a cleaned, bonded or
molded product prior to implementing and/or qualifying any of these processes. Store the capacitors where the temperature
and relative humidity do not exceed 40 degrees Centigrade and 70% respectively. For optimum solderability, capacitor stock
should be used promptly, preferably within 6 months of receipt.
Working Voltage:
Application voltage (Vp-p or Vo-p) must not exceed the voltage rating of the capacitor. Irregular voltages can be generated
for a transient period of time when voltage is initially applied and/or removed from a circuit. It is important to choose a
capacitor with a voltage rating greater than or equal to these irregular voltages.
Operating Temperature and Self-Generating Heat:
The surface temperature of a capacitor should be kept below the upper limit of its rated operating temperature range. Be
sure to take into account the heat generated by the capacitor itself. When the capacitor is used in a high-frequency current,
pulse current or similar current, it may self-generate heat due to dielectric loss. Temperature rise due to self-generated
heating should not exceed 20°C (while operated at an atmosphere temperature of 25°C).
Handling - Vibration and Impact:
Do not expose these devices or their leads to excessive shock or vibration during use.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE CAUTIONS MAY RESULT, WORST CASE, IN A SHORT CIRCUIT AND CAUSE FUMING OR
PARTIAL DISPERSION WHEN THE PRODUCT IS USED.
