Operating range (voltage, current, operating temperature) Use the capacitor within the specified limits listed below (a to d). Over rated conditions might cause deterioration, damage, smoke and fire. Do not use capacitor beyond range of the condition. a) Permissible voltage • DC rated voltage of this product is 50V. Use the capacitor within DC rated voltage. • When used beyond 105°C at temperature of capacitor surface for 0.12µF to 0.22µF, be in accordance with Fig.1. • When used in AC applied circuit, less than 30Vrms should be applied. When used in a high frequency, less than 30Vrms should be applied and current applied should be less than the value of permissible current in Fig.3 in page 17. Please consult in advance when capacitors are used between 60Hz to 10kHz at frequency. Not to be in connected directly to Primary or AC line. Guarantee contents refer to No.19 and No.20 of CHARACTER. • Use the peak of pulse voltage applied the capacitor within the DC rated voltage. • Caution about safety in inverter circuit for LCD back light use: Use the +B voltage applied within 9.5V, as shown below [Typical electronic inverter circuit for LCD back light]. And please use the peak of pulse voltage (especially, in case of the using PWM brightness circuit) applied the capacitor within the DC rated voltage. [Typical electronic inverter circuit for LCD back light] L +B Lamp b) Permissible current • The permissible current must be considered by dividing into pulse current (peak current) and continuous current (rms current). When using, therefore, make sure the both current are within the permissible values. In the case that a continuous current value is able not to be measured, use the capacitor within 10°C as the inherent temperature rise confirmed by the measuring method shown in page 16. • When used beyond 105°C at temperature of capacitor surface for 0.12µF to 0.22µF, be in accordance with Fig.1. • Continuous current should be within specified figure in Fig.3. Contact us when the waveforms are totally different from the sine wave. • Pulse current should be within the figures calculated by Tab. 1. Use within 10000 cycles of pulse current. When pulse current applied more than 10000 cycles, please consult us before use. c) Operating temperature range • It must be noted, however the operating temperature range is the surface temperature of the capacitor, not the ambient temperature of the capacitor. • In actual use, make sure the sum of the ambient temperature + own temperature rise value (Within specified value), that is the capacitor surface temperature is within the rated operating temperature range. • If there is cooling plate of the other part of any resistance heated to high temperature near the capacitor, the capacitor may be locally heated by the radiation heat, exceeding the operating temperature range, and smoking or firing may be caused. Check the capacitor surface temperature at the heat source side. d) For safety handling, check worst conditions within the specification range. Protective means for safety should be provided in case the pulse and rms current may exceed the permissible values due to abnormal action of elsewhere in the circuit. Please consult in advance when capacitors are connected in parallel to supplement capacitance. Film Capacitor Division Capacitor Business Division Panasonic Corporation REFERENCE 28−75 Clsf.
