Aluminum Capacitors
Little-Lytic™ Electrolytics
FEATURES
• Proven dependable performance in the industrial
and electronic equipment with either transistor or
modified electron-tube circuits
• All terminal connections welded, eliminating
possibility of open or intermittent contacts occasionally
found in pressure joints of conventional capacitors
• Superior in size, performance characteristics, shelf life,
construction and reliability
• Metal-encased with clear plastic outer insulating sleeve
• Excellent circuit performance when used as coupling
capacitors
• Minimum drain and long battery life when used in battery
bypass applications
• Better performance under life test than most miniature
aluminum electrolytic capacitors
• Axial lead
• Material categorization: for definitions of compliance

DESCRIPTION VALUE
Operating temperature -40 °C to +105 °C
Tolerance on C
R
G = +75 %, -10 % and
F = +50 %, -10 %
Ripple current
10 mA to 600 mA max. at 120 Hz,
depending upon capacitance
and voltage.
Life validation test
2000 h at +85 °C
After test, capacitance value shall
not have changed by more than ± 20 %,
the equivalent series resistance in ohms
shall not have exceeded 150 % of initial
requirement and the leakage current
shall not have exceeded the
initial requirement.
DC leakage current
Maximum DC leakage current at +25 °C
for all capacitors is 15 μA, except units
in case code DD, which is 15.8 μA.
Shelf test
250 h at +85 °C,
with no voltage applied
The capacitance and equivalent series
resistance shall meet the initial
requirements and the DC leakage
current shall not exceed 300 % of the
initial requirement.
