PEH169 Series, +105°C

Screw Terminal Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors
PEH169 Series, +105°C
Overview
Applications
KEMET's PEH169 Series is a long-life electrolytic capacitor with
outstanding reliability and electrical performance. The device
has a polarized all-welded design, heavy duty screw terminals,
extended cathode construction, safety vent, and plastic
insulation. The PEH169 Series winding is housed in a cylindrical
aluminum can with a reinforced molded lid incorporating a
safety vent. The sealing system is designed for electrolyte
leakage-free operation and a very low gas-diffusion rate of
electrolyte. Mechanical contact between the winding and case
allows excellent heat transfer from the winding to the ambient,
which means cooler operation. Low ESR is the result of a low
resistive paper/electrolyte system, at least two tabs per foil and
all-welded design.
Typical applications for KEMET's PEH169 capacitor
include smoothing, energy storage or pulse operation in
telecommunication demanding power supplies, process control,
AC motor control, traction, welding, and measuring.

Screw Terminal Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors – PEH169 Series, +105°C
Shelf Life
The capacitance, ESR and impedance of a capacitor will not change significantly after extended storage periods, however the leakage
current will very slowly increase. KEMET products are particularly stable and allow a shelf life in excess of three years at 40°C. See
sectional specification under each product series for specific data.
Re-age (Reforming) Procedure
Apply the rated voltage to the capacitor at room temperature for a period of one hour, or until the leakage current has fallen to a steady
value below the specified limit. During re-aging a maximum charging current of twice the specified leakage current or 5 mA (whichever
is greater) is suggested.
Reliability
The reliability of a component can be defined as the probability that it will perform satisfactorily under a given set of conditions for a
given length of time.
In practice, it is impossible to predict with absolute certainty how any individual component will perform; thus, we must utilize probability
theory. It is also necessary to clearly define the level of stress involved (e.g. operating voltage, ripple current, temperature and time).
Finally, the meaning of satisfactory performance must be defined by specifying a set of conditions which determine the end of life of the
component.
Reliability as a function of time, R(t), is normally expressed as: R(t)=e-λt
where R(t) is the probability that the component will perform satisfactorily for time t, and λ is the failure rate.
Failure Rate
The failure rate is the number of components failing per unit time. The failure rate of most electronic components follows the
characteristic pattern:
• Early failures are removed during the manufacturing process.
• The operational life is characterized by a constant failure rate.
• The wear out period is characterized by a rapidly increasing failure rate.
The failures in time (FIT) are given with a 60% confidence level for the various type codes. By convention, FIT is expressed as 1 x 10-9
failures per hour. Failure rate is also expressed as a percentage of failures per 1,000 hours.
e.g., 100 FIT = 1 x 10-7 failures per hour = 0.01%/1,000 hours
End of Life Definition
Catastrophic Failure: short circuit, open circuit or safety vent operation
Parametric Failure:
• Change in capacitance > ±10%
• Leakage current > specified limit
• ESR > 2 x initial ESR value

The mean time between failures (MTBF) is simply the inverse of the failure rate.

Time
The failure rate is derived from our periodic test results. The failure rate (λR) is, therefore, only given at test temperature for life tests. An
estimation is also given at 60°C.
The expected failure rate for this capacitor range is based on our periodic test results for capacitors with structural similarity.
Failure Rate per Hour

60°C 100 FIT
Failure rate per hour includes both catastrophic and parametric failures.
Environmental Compliance
As an environmentally conscious company, KEMET is working continuously with improvements concerning the environmental effects
of both our capacitors and their production. In Europe (RoHS Directive) and in some other geographical areas like China, legislation
has been put in place to prevent the use of some hazardous materials, such as lead (Pb), in electronic equipment. All products in this
catalog are produced to help our customers’ obligations to guarantee their products and fulfill these legislative requirements. The only
material of concern in our products has been lead (Pb), which has been removed from all designs to fulfill the requirement of containing
less than 0.1% of lead in any homogeneous material. KEMET will closely follow any changes in legislation world wide and makes any
necessary changes in its products, whenever needed.
Some customer segments such as medical, military and automotive electronics may still require the use of lead in electrode coatings.
To clarify the situation and distinguish products from each other, a special symbol is used on the packaging labels for RoHS compatible
capacitors.
Because of customer requirements, there may appear additional markings such as LF = Lead Free or LFW = Lead Free Wires on the
label.

Screw Terminal Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors – PEH169 Series, +105°C
Mechanical Data
Polarity and Reversed Voltage
Aluminium Electrolytic capacitors manufactured for use in DC applications contain an anode foil and a cathode foil. As such, they are
polarized devices and must be connected with the +ve to the anode foil and the -ve to the cathode foil. If this were to be reversed then
the electrolytic process that took place in forming the oxide layer on the anode would be recreated in trying to form an oxide layer on
the cathode. In forming the cathode foil in this way, heat would be generated and gas given off within the capacitor, usually leading to
catastrophic failure.
The cathode foil already possesses a thin stabilized oxide layer. This thin oxide layer is equivalent to a forming voltage of approximately
2 V. As a result, the capacitor can withstand a voltage reversal of up to 2 V for short periods. Above this voltage, the formation process
will commence. Aluminium Electrolytic capacitors can also be manufactured for use in intermittent AC applications by using two anode
foils in place of one anode and one cathode.
Mounting Position
The capacitor can be mounted upright or inclined to a horizontal position.
Clamp Fixing
Clips must be ordered separately.
Stud Fixing
Nylon cap nut must be ordered separately. For the stud fixing insulated version, the outer insulation serves as lock washer.
Maximum tightening torque:
M8 = 3 Nm
M12= 8 Nm
Maximum chassis thickness 5 mm.
Screw Terminals
M5 x 10 according to DIN 41.248.
Maximum tightening torque = 2.5 Nm.
Must be ordered separately.
Recommended maximum connector thickness with delivered screw = 4 mm. M6 thread upon request.
Insulating Cup
PEH169 is supplied with a 0.8 mm thick polypropylene insulating cup. Voltage proof of the insulating cup: ≥ 4,000 VDC

Screw Terminal Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors – PEH169 Series, +105°C
Construction cont'd
The manufacturing process begins with the anode foil being
electrochemically etched to increase the surface area and then
“formed” to produce the aluminum oxide layer. Both the anode and
cathode foils are then interleaved with absorbent paper and wound
into a cylinder. During the winding process, aluminum tabs are
attached to each foil to provide the electrical contact.
Extended cathode
Anode foil
The deck, complete with terminals, is attached to the tabs and then
folded down to rest on top of the winding. The complete winding
is impregnated with electrolyte before being housed in a suitable
container, usually an aluminum can, and sealed. Throughout the
process, all materials inside the housing must be maintained at the
highest purity and be compatible with the electrolyte.
Each capacitor is aged and tested before being sleeved and
packed. The purpose of aging is to repair any damage in the oxide
layer and thus reduce the leakage current to a very low level. Aging
is normally carried out at the rated temperature of the capacitor and
is accomplished by applying voltage to the device while carefully
controlling the supply current. The process may take several hours
to complete.
Damage to the oxide layer can occur due to variety of reasons:
• Slitting of the anode foil after forming
• Attaching the tabs to the anode foil
• Minor mechanical damage caused during winding
A sample from each batch is taken by the quality department after
completion of the production process.
The following tests are applied and may be varied at the request
of the customer. In this case the batch, or special procedure, will
determine the course of action.
