NOTE: Conductive Polymer Capacitors are designed to operate within the limits of the environmental conditions specified for each series. If operated continuously at their maximum temperature and / or humidity limit, or beyond these limits, capacitors may exhibit a parametric shift in capacitance and increases in ESR. These changes may occur earlier if the specified environmental conditions are exceeded. Similarly, their normal operational time period will be significantly extended if their general duty cycle includes operation below maximum temperature within humidity controlled environments. Careful attention should be paid to maximum temperature with associated high humidity environments as well as voltage derating, ripple current and current surges. Please reference the AVX Conductive Polymer Capacitor Guidelines for more information or contact factory for application assistance.

Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is defined according to J-STD-020. 

All technical data relates to an ambient temperature of +25ºC. Capacitance and DF are measured at 120Hz, 0.5RMS with DC bias of 2.2 volts. DCL is measured at rated voltage after 5 minutes. 

ESR allowed to move up to 1.25 times catalog limit post mounting. 

For typical weight and composition see page 270. 

**NOTE: AVX reserves the right to supply higher voltage ratings in the same case size to the same reliability standards.**
