Solid polymer aluminum capacitors are quite rugged and may be operated continuously at rated voltage. Voltage derating does not significantly increase the life expectancy of the capacitor. At voltage levels equal to or less than rated voltage,the capacitor will not short circuit (even at end of life). In fact it can self heal. A polymer aluminum capacitor can be operated over a lifetime at full rated voltage without worry of short circuiting. However, if subjected to sufficient over voltage or reverse voltage, a SPA capacitor can fail short circuit. Ripple Current/Ripple Voltage AC voltage as part of the capacitorís DC bias voltage will cause current to flow through the capacitor. This ripple current flows through the capacitor's equivalent series resistance generating heat. The heat increases the capacitor ís internal temperature. Exceeding the specific maximum ripple current will overheat the capacitor. The maximum ripple current ratings are given in the ratings tables. Peaks of the AC ripple voltage should not exceed the rated voltage or cause voltage reversal temperature. Exceeding the specified maximum ripple current will overheat and damage the capacitor. The maximum ripple current ratings are given in the ratings tables. Shelf Life When stored at room temperature, in low humidity, and out of direct sunlight, SPA capacitors have a storage life of 5 to 10 years. Storage at high humidity over long periods of time can cause the DC leakage current to increase. However, the application of rated voltage will reduce the DC leakage current to normal limits. Reverse Voltage SPA capacitors are polarized and are not intended to be used with reversed voltage. They can withstand reverse voltage pulses or transients up to 20% of the rated voltage, and they are capable of operating with up to 10% of the rated voltage when reverse voltage is applied continuously.

Capacitors suspected of having been exposed to high humidity can be reclaimed by placing them in an oven at 50 ºC for 100 hours. Heat Stress while Soldering DC leakage current can increase after soldering, but it will return to the initial level after applying voltage. When using a soldering iron to mount the capacitor, the iron should have a maximum temperature of 350ºC and soldering should not exceed 10 seconds.

They have reliability advantages over both aluminum and solid tantalum electrolytic capacitors. Unlike aluminum capacitors,there is no liquid electrolyte that can evaporate and cause a failure. Unlike solid tantalum which can fail short and burn, SPA capacitors gradually become open circuits after 25 to 50 years operation. Life expectancy curves show 200,000 hours expected life at full rated voltage and normal ambient conditions. Ultra Low E.S.R. and High Rippled Current Capability The equivalent series resistance (e.s.r.) of solid polymer aluminum capacitors is much lower than the e.s.r. of solid tantalum capacitors. This results in a much higher ripple current handling capability. The e.s.r. is even lower than the new tantalum polymer hybrid capacitors. SPA’ s ultralow resistance magic is in the solid conductive polymer. The series resistance of electrolytic capacitors is largely determined by the resistivity of the electrolyte. Because the resistivity of SPA’s polymer electrolyte is several orders of magnitude less than that of other electrolytes, the equivalent series resistance is almost zero. Construction Construction is a unique combination of the elements of pentoxide which is built upon a tantalum pellet anode. aluminum electrolytic and solid tantalum capacitors. A highly conductive polymer electrolyte film is deposited over the aluminum oxide dielectric in SPA capacitors. Like conventional aluminum electrolytic capacitors, Carbon and silver paint are used to finish the capacitor's the anode in SPA capacitors is an aluminum plate on cathode. This is similar to what is used in solid tantalum which an aluminum oxide layer has been built up by capacitors, where manganese dioxide is used as the an electrolysis process. The aluminum oxide serves as electrolyte. the dielectric in both SPA and conventional aluminum electrolytics. The capacitor element is encased in a molded resin that is capable of meeting the UL-94,V0 flammability rating. The dielectric in solid tantalum capacitors is tantalum The terminals are solder coated copper clad steel. CDE Cornell Dubilier • 1605 E.
