APPLICATIONS
• Automotive, industrial and telecommunication
• Smoothing, filtering, coupling, decoupling, timing
• For use after very long storage (10 years) without voltage
applied
• Portable and mobile equipment (small size, low mass)
• Low mounting height boards, vibration and shock
resistant
• Outdoor applications, e.g. aerial amplifiers
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) at 125 °C and 85 °C
• Date code, in accordance with IEC 60062
• Code indicating factory of origin
• Name of manufacturer
• Negative terminal identification
• Series number (118)
