MOUNTING
Normal Use
The capacitors are designed for mounting on printed-circuit boards. The capacitors packed in bandoliers are designed for
mounting in printed-circuit boards by means of automatic insertion machines.
For detailed tape specifications refer to packaging information: www.vishay.com/doc?28139
Specific Method of Mounting to Withstand Vibration and Shock
In order to withstand vibration and shock tests, it must be ensured that stand-off pips are in good contact with the printed-circuit
board:
• For pitches  15 mm capacitors shall be mechanically fixed by the leads
• For larger pitches the capacitors shall be mounted in the same way and the body clamped
Space Requirements On Printed-Circuit Board
The maximum space for length (I_max.), width (w_max.) and height (h_max.) of film capacitors to take in account on the printed-circuit
board is shown in the drawing:
• For products with pitch  15 mm, w = l = 0.3 mm and h = 0.1 mm
• For products with 15 mm < pitch  27.5 mm, w = l = 0.5 mm and h = 0.1 mm
Eccentricity defined as in drawing. The maximum eccentricity is smaller than or equal to the lead diameter of the product
concerned.

W_max. = W + Δ
I_max. = I + Δ

SOLDERING
For general soldering conditions and wave soldering profile, we refer to the application note: 
“Soldering Guidelines for Film Capacitors”: www.vishay.com/doc?28171
Storage Temperature
T_stg = - 25 °C to + 35 °C with RH maximum 75 % without condensation
Ratings and Characteristics Reference Conditions
Unless otherwise specified, all electrical values apply to an ambient free air temperature of 23 °C ± 1 °C, an atmospheric
pressure of 86 kPa to 106 kPa and a relative humidity of 50 % ± 2 %.
For reference testing, a conditioning period shall be applied over 96 h ± 4 h by heating the products in a circulating air oven at
the rated temperature and a relative humidity not exceeding 20 %.
