Cautions and warnings
Do not exceed the upper category temperature (UCT).
Do not apply any mechanical stress to the capacitor terminals.
Avoid any compressive, tensile or flexural stress.
Do not move the capacitor after it has been soldered to the PC board.
Do not pick up the PC board by the soldered capacitor.
Do not place the capacitor on a PC board whose PTH hole spacing differs from the specified
lead spacing.
Do not exceed the specified time or temperature limits during soldering.
Avoid external energy inputs, such as fire or electricity.
Avoid overload of the capacitors.
The table below summarizes the safety instructions that must always be observed. A detailed de-
scription can be found in the relevant sections of the chapters "General technical information" and
"Mounting guidelines".

information"
Storage
conditions
Make sure that capacitors are stored within the specified
range of time, temperature and humidity conditions.
4.5
"Storage conditions"
Flammability Avoid external energy, such as fire or electricity (passive
flammability), avoid overload of the capacitors (active
flammability) and consider the flammability of materials.
5.3
"Flammability"
Resistance to
vibration
Do not exceed the tested ability to withstand vibration.
The capacitors are tested to IEC 60068-2-6.
EPCOS offers film capacitors specially designed for
operation under more severe vibration regimes such as
those found in automotive applications. Consult our
catalog "Film Capacitors for Automotive Electronics".

Cleaning Use only suitable solvents for cleaning capacitors. 2 "Cleaning"
Embedding of
capacitors in
finished
assemblies
When embedding finished circuit assemblies in plastic
resins, chemical and thermal influences must be taken
into account.
Caution: Consult us first, if you also wish to embed other
uncoated component types!
