) Guidelines and precautions (OS-CON) 

1. Circuit design 

1.1 Prohibited circuits 

(1) Leakage current of the OS-CON may increase in the following conditions. 

(a) Soldering 

(b) When voltage is not applied : high temperature no-load test, high temperature and high humiditynoload test, rapidly changing temperature test, etc. 

(2) Avoid the use of the OS-CON in the following type of circuits because leakage current may increase. (a) High-impedance circuits (b) Coupling circuits (c) Time constant circuits 

(d) Other circuits that are significantly affected by leakage current. ** If you plan to use 2 or more OS-CONSs in a series connection, please contact us before use. 1.2 Failure and life-span The failure rate is 0.5 % /1000 h (Confidence level : 60 %) based on JIS C 5003. The prospective failure is not zero. The mainly failure modes are as follows. 1.2-1 Contingency failure The most common failure mode is a short circuit. Mainly caused by the soldering or operating temperature environment, along with heat stresses, electrical stresses or mechanical stressesas follows. - Applying voltage over the rated voltage. 

- Applying reverse voltage 

- Excessive mechanical stress - Applying rush current by sudden charge or discharge out of the specification. (1) The following phenomenon is seen when short-current is applied to the OS-CON. (a) When current is relatively low. (10 : approx 1 A or less, @8 : approx 0.5 A or less, 6.3 : approx 0.2 A or less) The OS-CON becomes heated, but no effects are visible even when the current is continously carried. (b) When the short circuit currents exceed the mentioned value above. After internal temperature increase, sealing rubber may be turned over. In some cases, odorous gas may be produced. (2) In case a short circuit occurs, ensure safety by fully considering the followings. (a) If odorous gas is released, turn off the main power of the equipment. In this case, keep your face and hands away from the area. (b) Though it depends on the conditions, it takes seconds to minutes before odorant gas generates. Protective circuit should operate in this period. (c) If the gas comes into eyes, rinse immediately. If the gas is inhaled, gargle immediately. (d) Do not lick the electrolyte. If the electrolyte touches skin, wash it off with soap immediately. (e) The OS-CON contains combustible substances. In case a large current continues to flow after a short circuit, in the worst case, the shorted-out section may ignite. For safety, install a redundant circuit or a protective circuit, etc. 1.2-2 Wear-out failure (life time) When lifetime span exceeded the specified guarantee time of endurance and damp heat, electrolyte might insulate and cause electric characteristic changed. This is called an open circuit. The electric characteristics of capacitance and ESR may possibly change within the specified range in specifications even if it is used under the condition of the rated voltage, electric and mechanical performance. Please note it when designing.

1.3 Leakage current 

Mechanical stress may cause OS-CON’s leakage current increased. In such a case, leakage current will gradually decrease by applying voltage (withinthe category voltage and the upper limit of category temperature). 

Then, self-healing speed of leakage current is faster when it is near to the upper limit of category temperature and the category voltage.

* To make the recovery of LC values easy to show, samples that LC values have been increased on purpose are used in the test. 1.4 Rapid charge and discharge limitation Allowance of a large rush current to flow due to rapid charge and discharge may result in short circuit or large leakage current. The protection circuit, to maintain high reliability, is recommended when rush current to flow to the OS-CON is in the following cases. (1) Products which 10 times of allowable ripple current is less than 10 A : It is when 10 A or over of rush current is applied. (2) Products which 10 times of allowable ripple current is 10 A or over : It is when rush current, which the figure is over 10 times of allowable ripple current, is applied. 

2. Mounting 2.1 Soldering with a soldering iron (1) When lead terminals for radial lead type must be processed because the lead pitch and the PCB holes do not match, process them without any stresses to the OS-CON before soldering. (2) Solder without any excessive stresses to the OS-CON itself. (3) When the OS-CON has been soldered once and needs to be removed, remove it after the solder has been completely melted. 

(4) Do not let the tip of the soldering iron touch the OS-CON itself. 2.2 Flow soldering 

(1) Do not apply flow soldering to OS-CON SMD type. 

(2) Do not solder the OS-CON itself by submerging it in melted solder. 

(3) Solder the opposite side that the OS-CON is mounted on. 

(4) Note that flux does not adhere to anywhere expect the lead terminal. (5) Note that other components do not fall over and touch the OS-CON when soldering. 2.3 Reflow soldering (1) Do not apply reflow soldering to OS-CON Radial Lead type. 

(2) Please contact us for setting VPS conditions.

2.4 Capacitor handling after soldering 

Do not subject the OS-CON to excessive stress as follows. 

(1) Do not tilt, bend or twist the OS-CON. 

(2) Do not move the PCB with holding the OS-CON itself. 

(3) Do not hit the OS-CON with objects. 

(4) When stacking PCBs, make sure that the OS-CON does not touch other PCBs or components. 2.5 Circuit board cleaning 

Check the following items before washing PC board with these detergents: high quality alcohol-based cleaning fluid such as Pine-a ST-100S, clean thru 750H, 750L, 710M, 750K or Techno Care FRW 14 through 17 or detergents including substitute freon as AK-225AES or IPA. 

(1) Use immersion or ultrasonic waves to clean within 2 minutes. 

(2) The temperature of the cleaning fluid should be less than 60 °C. 

(3) Watch the contamination of the detergent such as conductivity, pH, specific gravity, water content, etc. (4) Do not store the OS-CON in a location subject to gases from the cleaning fluid or in an airtight container after cleaning. 

(5) Dry the PCB or OS-CON with hot air that should be less than the upper category temperature. 

(6) Please note that indication may disappear when rubbing print side after washing depending on a cleaner. (7) Please contact us for details about detergents, cleaning methods and detergents other than those listed above. 

2.6 Fixatives and coating materials (1) Select the appropriate covering and sealant materials for the OS-CON. In particular, don’t use acetone in the fixative, coating agent and diluent. (2) Before applying the fixative or coating, completely remove any flux residue and foreign matter from the area where the board and the OS-CON will be jointed together. 

(3) Allow any detergent to dry before applying the fixative or coating. 

(4) Please contact us for the fixative and coating heat curing conditions. 2.7 Capacitor insulation Be sure to completely separate the case, negative lead terminal, positive lead terminal and PC board patterns with each other due to the following reasons. 

(1) Insulation is not guaranteed at a part of resin on the surface of a case. 

(2) It offers inconstant resistance between a case and a negative lead terminal and it isn’t insulated. 

3. Storage 

Open the bags just before mounting and use up all products once opened, For keeping a good solderability, store the OS-CON as follows.
