MOUNTING
Normal use
The capacitors are designed for mounting on printed-circuit boards. The capacitors packed in bandoliers are designed for
mounting on printed-circuit boards by means of automatic insertion machines.
For detailed tape specifications refer to “Packaging Information”
www.vishay.com/doc?28139 or end of catalog
Specific Method of Mounting to Withstand Vibration and Shock
In order to withstand vibration and shock tests, it must be ensured that the stand-off pips are in good contact with the
printed-circuit board. The capacitors shall be mechanically fixed by the leads.
Space Requirements on Printed-Circuit Board
The maximum length and width of film capacitors is shown in the drawing:
Eccentricity as in drawing. The maximum eccentricity is smaller than or equal to the lead diameter of the product concerned.
