## **MOUNTING** 

## **Normal Use** 

The capacitors are designed for mounting on printed-circuit boards. The capacitors packed in bandoliers are designed for mounting on printed-circuit boards by means of automatic insertion machines. 

For detailed tape specifications refer to “Packaging Information” www.vishay.com/doc?28139 or end of catalog. 

## **Specific Method of Mounting to Withstand Vibration and Shock** 

In order to withstand vibration and shock tests, it must be ensured that the stand-off pips are in good contact with the printed-circuit board. The capacitors shall be mechanically fixed by the leads. 

## **Space Requirements on Printed-Circuit Board** 

The maximum length and width of film capacitors is shown in the drawing: 

- Eccentricity as in drawing. The maximum eccentricity is smaller than or equal to the lead diameter of the product concerned.

## **POWER DISSIPATION AND MAXIMUM COMPONENT TEMPERATURE RISE** 

The power dissipation must be limited in order not to exceed the maximum allowed component temperature rise as a function of the free air ambient temperature. 

The power dissipation can be calculated according type detail specification “HQN-384-01/101: Technical Information Film Capacitors” with the typical tgd of the curves. 

The component temperature rise (  T) can be measured (see section “Measuring the Component Temperature” for more details) or calculated by  T = P/G: 

-  T = component temperature rise (°C) 

- P = power dissipation of the component (mW) 

- G = heat conductivity of the component (mW/°C) 

## **MEASURING THE COMPONENT TEMPERATURE** 

A thermocouple must be attached to the capacitor body as in: 

**==> picture [212 x 127] intentionally omitted <==**

**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Thermocouple<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


The temperature is measured in unloaded (Tamb) and maximum loaded condition (TC). The temperature rise is given by  T =TC - Tamb. 

To avoid radiation or convection, the capacitor should be tested in a wind-free box.

## **APPLICATION NOTE AND LIMITING CONDITIONS** 

These capacitors are not suitable for mains applications as across-the-line capacitors without additional protection, as described hereunder. These mains applications are strictly regulated in safety standards and therefore electromagnetic interference suppression capacitors conforming the standards must be used. 

To select the capacitor for a certain application, the following conditions must be checked: 

1. The peak voltage (Up) shall not be greater than the rated DC voltage (URDC) 

2. The peak-to-peak voltage (Up-p) shall not be greater than the maximum (Up-p) to avoid the ionization inception level 

3. The voltage peak slope (dU/dt) shall not exceed the rated voltage pulse slope in an RC-circuit at rated voltage and without ringing. If the pulse voltage is lower than the rated DC voltage, the rated voltage pulse slope may be multiplied by URDC and divided by the applied voltage. 

For all other pulses following equation must be fulfilled: 

**==> picture [144 x 35] intentionally omitted <==**

T is the pulse duration. 

4. The maximum component surface temperature rise must be lower than the limits (see Fig. “Maximum allowed component temperature rise”) 

5. Since in circuits used at voltages over 280 V peak-to-peak the risk for an intrinsically active flammability after a capacitor breakdown (short circuit) increases, it is recommended that the power to the component is limited to 100 times the values mentioned in the table: “Heat conductivity” 

6. When using these capacitors as across-the-line capacitor in the input filter for mains applications or as series connected with an impedance to the mains the applicant must guarantee that the following conditions are fulfilled in any case (spikes and surge voltages from the mains included). 

## **VOLTAGE CONDITIONS FOR 6 ABOVE** 

|**VOLTAGE CONDITIONS FOR 6 ABOVE**||||
|---|---|---|---|
|**ALLOWED VOLTAGES**|**Tamb ****85 °C**|**85 °C < Tamb ****110 °C**|**110 °C < Tamb ****125 °C**|
|Maximum continuous RMS voltage|URAC|0.7 x URAC|0.5 x URAC|
|Maximum temporary RMS-overvoltage (< 24 h)|1.25 x URAC|0.875 x URAC|0.625 x URAC|
|Maximum peak voltage (Vo-p) (< 2 s)|1.6 x URDC|1.1 x URDC|0.8 x URDC|



## **Example** 

C = 4n7 1600 V used for the voltage signal shown in next figure. Up-p = 1000 V; Up = 900 V; T1 = 12 μs; T2 = 64 μs; T3 = 4 μs 

The ambient temperature is 80 °C. In case of failure, the oscillation is blocked. 

Checking the conditions: 

1. The peak voltage Up = 900 V is lower than 1600 VDC 

2. The peak-to-peak voltage 1000 V is lower than 2  2 x 550 VAC = 1600 Up-p 

3. The voltage pulse slope dU/dt = 1000 V/4 μs = 250 V/μs. 

This is lower than 4000 V/μs (see specific reference data for each version) 

4. The dissipated power is 35 mW as calculated with fourier terms and typical tgd. The temperature rise for wmax. = 6.0 and pitch = 10 mm will be 35 mW/9 mW/°C = 3.9 °C This is lower than 10 °C temperature rise at 80 °C, according figure. 

5. Oscillation is blocked 

6. Not applicable
