What is the international standard for aluminum electrolytic capacitors?

The international standard for aluminum electrolytic capacitors is IEC 60384-4. The sectional specification mentioned above is complemented by a set of detail specifications that applies to specific design types (e.g. electrolytic capacitors with axial wire leads).

How are the materials and chemicals used in our aluminum electrolytic capacitors adapted?

Materials and chemicals used in our aluminum electrolytic capacitors are continuously adapted in compliance with the TDK Electronics Corporate Environmental Policy and the latest EU regula- tions and guidelines such as RoHS, REACH/SVHC, GADSL, and ELV. MDS (Material Data Sheets) are available on our website for all types listed in the data book.

What are the tolerances for aluminum electrolytic capacitors?

While tolerances of ±5% and ±10% are routine for ceramic capacitors, ±20% and –10% +50% are the norms for aluminum electrolytic. This makes aluminum electrolytics the choice for high-capacitance applications like rectification filters and power hold up where more capacitance is a bonus.

How strong are aluminum electrolytic capacitors?

Upon delivery most of our aluminum electrolytic capacitors are enveloped by a shrinking sleeve. The minimum breakdown strength for a new sleeve is 2500 V AC or 3500 V DC and the insulation resistance is at least 100 M. IEC 60384-4 specifies corresponding test methods.

What is a typical temperature range for aluminum electrolytic capacitors?

The typical temperature range for aluminum electrolytic capacitors is –40 oC to 85 oC or 105 oC. Capacitance varies about +5% –40% over the range with the capacitance loss all at cold temperatures. Capacitors rated –55 oC generally only have –10% to –20% capacitance loss at –40 oC.

Are MSDS available for aluminum electrolytic Capa-citors?

MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) are available for our electrolytes upon request. Nevertheless, the following rules should be observed when handling aluminum electrolytic capa-citors: No electrolyte should come into contact with eyes or skin.
