Gold Capacitors Technical Guide
Operating Techniques of Gold Capacitors
15. Please arrange circuit design for preventing impulse or transitional voltage. Do not apply voltage, which exceeds
the full rated voltage when the capacitors receive impulse voltage, instantaneous high voltage, high pulse voltage
etc.
16. Do not store capacitor under any of the environment conditions listed below.
• At high temperature and high humidity.
• Where the capacitor is in contact with water, salt water or oil.
• Where the capacitor is exposed to direct sunlight or to toxic gases.
• Where there is a lot of dust in the air.
17. Emergency procedures: If capacitors overheat or start to emit an odor, immediately switch off the unit’s main
power supply to stop operation. Keep your face and hands away from the capacitor, since the temperature may be
high enough to cause the capacitor to ignite and burn.
18. Capacitors disposal: When disposing of capacitors, follow the instructions below.
• Crush or make a hole in the capacitor before burning. If the capacitor is burned without making a hole, it can
explode. If taking apart the capacitor before disposal, wear protective bear such as gloves and goggles.
• If you choose no to burn used capacitors, consign them to a specialized industrial waste processor for disposal.
19. Heat at curing adhesives for chip components: Applying high temperature to Gold Capacitor for a long time may
cause poor reliability, even cause initial failure. Therefore, heat curing adhesives should be low temperature and
short in duration. An allowable condition is as follows:
For coin type (EL) and multi-layer type (SG, SD, NF, F, SE) Gold Capacitors, surface temperature should be 100
°C
within 60 seconds. (In this case, peak temperature should be less than 105°C)
The application guidelines above conform to:
Technical report EIAJ RCR-2370 issued by the Japan Electric Industry Association, Inc. “Guideline of notable for fi xed electric double layer capacitors with non-solid
electrolyte for use in electric equipment.” For further details, please refer to this Technical Report.
