SPA Capacitors
Solid Polymer Aluminum Capacitors
Specifications
Operating Temperature Range;
-55°C to +105°C, at 100% rated voltage
Surge Voltage;
125% of the rated working Vdc
Capacitance Range;
2.2 µF to 390 µF
Capacitance Tolerance;
±20% at 120 Hz and +20°C
DC Leakage Current (DCL);
After a two minute application of the rated
working voltage at +20°C:
2V - 4V: I ≤ 0.06CV
6.3V - 16V: I ≤ 0.04CV or 3µA
(whichever greater)
Dissipation Factor (DF);
The ratio of the capacitorís equivalent series
resistance to its reactance at 120Hz and +20°C.
ESRL & ESRD (1.8 mm ht.): D.F. is .06 Max.
ESRE & ESRD (2.8 mm ht.): D.F. is .10 Max.
Resistance to Soldering Heat;
Heat the capacitors at 235°C in an oven for 200
seconds. The capacitors will meet the following
limits after stabilizing at 20°C:
∆C = ±10% of the initial measured value
DF ≤ the initial specified value
DCL ≤ the initial specified value
Moisture Resistance;
After 500 hours storage at +60°C and 90 to 95%
R.H. without load, the capacitor will meet the
following limits:
∆C = +70%/-20% of the initial
measured value (2.0 Vdc, 2.5 Vdc),
+60%/-20% of the initial
measured value (4.0 Vdc),
+50%/-20% of the initial
measured value (6.3 Vdc),
+40%/-20% of the initial
measured value (all other voltages)
DF ≤ two times the initial specified value
DCL ≤ the initial specified value
Life Test;
Apply rated DC working voltage at 105°C for
1000 hours, and then stabilize them to +20°C.
Capacitors will meet the following limits:
∆C = ±10% of the initial measured value
DF ≤ the initial specified value
DCL ≤ the initial specified value
Shelf Life Test;
Shelf life is typically 5 to 10 years. Accelerated
test: after 500 hours at 105°C, capacitors will meet
the following limits after stabilization at 20°C:
∆C = ±10% of the initial measured value
DF ≤ the initial specified value
DCL ≤ the initial specified value
Shear Test;
No damage shall be visible after subjecting a
mounted capacitor to a side force of 5 N for 10
seconds
Vibration;
No abnormal change shall occur to capacitors that
have been soldered (and attached) to a board when
subjected to a vibration of 1.5 mm amplitude that
is varied from 10 Hz to 2000 Hz in 20 min. cycles.
The test duration is 2 hours for each right angle
direction (total 6 hours). Capacitance is monitored
during the last cycle of the test for stablilty.
