moulded with flame retardant plastic material)
Pb-free
Available
RoHS*
COMPLIANT
• Mounting ring version not available in insulated form
• Taped versions up to
case ∅ 15 x 30 mm available for automatic insertion
• Charge and discharge proof
• Long useful life: 2000 to 10 000 hours at 105 °C,
high reliability
• High ripple current capability

• Stand-by applications
• 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 (105 °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 (138)
* Pb containing terminations are not RoHS compliant, exemptions may apply
