Snap-In Supercapacitors – S501 Series, Snap-In, 2.7 V, 65ºC
Mounting
Donotscratchorletheleadterminals.Theterminalsareplatedwithmetalandtheremovaloftheplatedmaterialwillcausepoor
solderability.
Do not overheat when soldering. Solder temperature lower than 260°C and time shorter than 5 seconds are recommended. For
hand soldering, tip temperature should be no higher than 350°C (662°F) for a maximum contact time of 3 seconds. Only the snap-in
terminals should come into contact with liquid solder or iron. Excessive heat on the snap-in terminal boards can cause damage to
seals, shrink sleeve, and electrodes resulting in shortened life or premature part failure.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT DEFORM, PULL or TWIST the terminals. The terminals are attached to the electrodes in the interior of the
aluminum casing and are tightly embedded in the rubber-plug sealing the casing. Repeated or forceful bending, pulling, or twisting
of the terminal may create a path opening along the terminal in the rubber for electrolyte to leak out. The electrolyte leakage may not
only shorten the useful life of the product, but it may also cause corrosion and/or short-circuit of neighboring circuitry. If deforming the
terminal is unavoidable or essential to the assembly process, please use needle-nose pliers to bend the lead wire while holding the
base of the same terminal using another needle-nose pliers so that the force applied to the wire is not transmitted to the rubber seal.
KEMET recommends utilizing a PC board when connecting the cells to the circuit or electronic devices. In addition, avoid placing
exothermic components near the supercapacitor or on the opposite side of the PC board.
Please maintain a minimum distance of 3 mm between the bottom surface (opposite terminals) of the cell and other components/
housings in order to allow for unimpeded venting of gas through the safety vent.
