1.2 Derating of rated voltage where operatingtemperature is highIn f i lm capacitors, the usable upper l imittemperature (the capacitor surface temperature) isdetermined by the type of dielectric.

When used beyond the rated upper l imittemperature(usable upper limit temperature), it isnecessary to derate the voltage in certain types(models), while other types (models) cannot beused beyond the rated upper limit temperature,and therefore when using beyond the rated upperlimit temperature, be sure to lower the voltage andmake sure the capacitor surface temperature isbelow the usable upper limit temperature. Whenusing at high frequency, however, since thecapacitor itself has its own temperature rise, andhence the following derating ratio cannot beapplied.

The polyester (PET) capacitor is relatively high indissipation factor (tan ), and when used at highfrequency, the self heating temperature riseincreases. Use within the self heating temperaturerise of 10˚C or less, and the capacitor surfacetemperature not exceeding the rated upper limittemperature.

Rated upper limit temperature : Upper limit temperatureusable continuously at DC rated voltage.

Usable upper l imit temperature : Upper l imittemperature usable continuously by derating of DCrated voltage.

• Derating of rated voltage to operating temperatureIn polypropylene capacitors (ECQP type, ECQF type,etc.), derate the voltage as shown below depending

on the operating temperature to compensate fordissipation of the dielectric.

1.3 Derating of rated voltage to capacitance valueGenerally, in film capacitors, as the capacitancevalue is increased, the withstand voltageperformance is decreased. In the case of

capacitance range exceeding 0.1 µF ofpolypropylene capacitors with (ECQP type andECQF type), use within the following voltage.

1.4 Derating of rated voltage when using at highfrequencyWhen using at high frequency, there is a risk ofthermal runaway (smoke, fire) due to self heatgeneration in the capacitor. Derate the ratedvoltage according to the example below.

For use at high frequency, we recommend ECHU,ECHS, ECQP, ECQF, ECWF, and ECWH types.

2. Permissible current ! Caution!Film capacitors are low in internal impedance, andhence a very large charging or discharging currentmay flow depending on the circuit.When a charging or discharging current exceedingthe permissible range flows, temperature riseoccurs due to self heat generation, this can cause deterioration of withstand voltage and result in ashort circuit, possibly leading to smoke or fire. Inparticular, in an application where the rms currentis large or a large pulse current flows, measure theself heating temperature rise and make sure it iswithin the permissible self heating temprature riselimit.

2.1 Permissible currentThe permissible current must be considered bydividing into pulse current (peak current) andcontinuous current (rms current) depending on thebreakdown mode, and when using, therefore,make sure the both currents are within thepermissible values.

2.2 Permissible current to operating frequencyThe fi lm capacitor varies in the frequencycharacteristic of the dissipation factor (tan )

P depending on the dissipation factor, and hence thepermissible rms current for operating frequencydiffers depending on the capacitor type. Inparticular, when operating at high frequency, thedissipation factor (tan ) increases, and whenusing over the permissible current, it may triggerthermal runaway, possibly leading to smoke or fire.Shown below are typical examples of permissiblecurrent by frequency (rms value) of the ECQE(F)type using polyester film and ECWF type usingpolypropylene film.For detail inquire us by presenting the operatingconditions, or make sure the own temperature riseof the capacitor and the capacitor surfacetemperature are within the permissible range in theworst operating conditions.

2.3 Capacitance value and permissible currentThe permissible rms current varies with thecapacitance value. The permissible current (rms)values by frequency and by capacitance ofrepresentative types are shown. In actual use,inquire us for detail by measuring the voltage andcurrent waveforms, ambient temperature, and owntemperature rise.

Type : ECWF2(B)(Polypropylene)

Operating temperature range : –40 to 85 (Capacitor surface)

(Note)The graphs illstrated are for referenceonly. Wavwform of current andtemperature rise of capcitor are keyfactors to determine permissiblecurrent. For actual application,consult our sales representative orsales office.

2.4 Permissible current to pulse currentWhen used in switching circuits or snubber circuits

a momentary high current pulse may curse localheat generation which may despite theevaporated. Film causing the capacitance value todeteriorate or an open circuit condition.Local heat generation may also induce smoke orfire.The pulse permissible current is generally obtainedby the product of dV/dt (V/µs) value andcapacitance (µF).

The dV/dt (V/µs) value of a film capacitor isdetermined by the element structure, and in the

metall ized type, in particular, the internalevaporated electrode and external takeoutelectrode are connected by metallized contact(metal spraying), and hence due caution is neededbecause the upper limit of dV/dt value is low.

The dV/dt values corresponding to rated voltageand capacitance value of representative types areshown. When used in a high current pulse circuit,check the pulse permissible current (Ao-p).

Please consult us, If pulses are applied more than10,000 times.

3. Operating temperature ! Caution!3.1 Own temperature rise

When the film capacitor is used in an AC circuit,especially in high frequency application, thecapacitor generates heat by itself from the flowingcurrent. If the self heat generation is large, thecapacitor may deteriorate, and smoke or fire maybe occur. Check the self heating temperature risevalue in actual conditions of use, and use within the

P limit specified in the table below.

Measure the own temperature rise value in indoor,wind-free condition.

* The details of self heating temperature rise value aredescribed in the specification. (Please contact usas details of the specified value varies by each type.)

3.3 Operating temperature rangeThe operating temperature range of film capacitorvaries with the dielectric material (type of film), andthe usable temperature range is specified in eachmodel.It must be noted, however, that the temperaturerange mentioned in the catalogue is the surfacetemperature of the film capacitor, not the ambienttemperature of the capacitor.In actual use, make sure the sum of the ambienttemperature +capacitor’s self heating temperaturerise value (within specified value), that is, thecapacitor surface temperature is within the ratedoperating temperature range.

! Caution!When used above the rated operating temperaturerange, dissipation factor (tan ) increases, and theself heat generation may exceed the permissiblevalue, possibly causing deterioration of dielectricfilm, short circuit, and smoke or fire.

P

If there is cooling plate of other part or anyresistance heated to high temperature near the filmcapacitor, the capacitor may be locally heated bythe radiation heat, exceeding the operatingtemperature range, and smoke or fire may becaused.Check the capacitor surface temperature at theheat source side.

The solvent contained in the resin may permeateinto the metall ized contact or electrode(aluminum foil or evaporated film) to deterioratecharacteristics.

When curing the resin, chemical reaction heat(curing heat generation) occurs, which mayadversely affect the capacitor.

Coefficient ofthermal expan-sion of printedwiring boad

Minimize the difference in coefficient of thermal expansionbetween the Printed wiring boad and film chip capacitor. If there isa large difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between thecapacitor and Printed wiring boad, a mechanical stress is applieddue to temperature changes after mounting, and the element mainbody may be changed, the soldered area may be cracked, andthe performance may be lowered. Check sufficiently beforehand.

Panasonic General Technical Information

The polyprolylene capacitor has lower mounting heatresisting temperature (110˚C) than other polyesterand PPS capacitors, and hence the followingcautions are needed.

1)In the case of ECQP type, if directly mounted on theprinted wiring board, the element internal temperaturemay exceed 110˚C due to heat from the lead wire,and hence a lead forming type should be used.

2)Avoid passing through an adhesive curing oven inorder to cure the resin for fixing the chip parts, incombination with chip parts. (Otherwise, exceeding themounting heat resisting temperature, the dielectric filmhas a heat shrinkage and induces short-circuiting.)When combining with chip parts, after curing theadhesive, insert film capacitor, and solder.

Avoid reflow soldering by combining the lead typewith chip parts. (Or excessive heat beyond themounting heat resisting temperature may be applied,leading to breakage of coating resin or deteriorationof capacitor characteristic.)

When using in multilayer Printed wiring boad, or in thecase of a capacitor with a copper lead wire, please

consult us separately. (In the case of copper leadwire, the thermal conductivity of the copper wire ishigh, and the internal temperature of the capacitorrises rapidly and may exceed the mounting heatresisting temperature.)

2. Soldering of chip typeThe chip type film capacitor is available in two types,ECWU exclusively for reflow soldering and ECHU forboth flow and reflow soldering. Although there arespecific restrictive conditions for the chip type filmcapacitor, please check and consider the followingitems in order to guarantee soldering quality.

2.1 Printed wiring boad2.1.1 Selection of printed wiring boad

The chip parts are directly mounted on the printedwiring boad without using lead wires, and thereforethermal expansion of the printed wiring board mayaffect the characteristic of the film chip capacitor,and hence the fol lowing cautions should beobserved.

2.1.2 Parts layout on Printed wiring boardFilm chip capacitors, unlike the leaded type filmcapacitors do not have coating.Retaliated heat from a near by heatedcomponents may cause the temperature toexceed the usable temperature range.

Without coating, if there is an exposed live part inthe vicinity, a short circuit may be formedthrough the capacitor. Consider the arrange-ment

2.1.3 Land dimension designIf the land area is wide, tombstone phenomenon (chiprising) is likely to occur in relation to the solder amount.It is disadvantageous for keeping the mountclearance of the mounting machine, but it isadvised to design in the recommended landdimension shown below to the extent possible.

2.4.2 Cautions for use of soldering ironBe careful that the soldering iron not directly

touch the main body of the chip film capacitor. Inparticular, don’t touch the side (cut section). Iftouched by the heated soldering iron, lowering ofinsulation resistance, shortcircuit or othercharacteristic deterioration may occur.

Preheat the printed wining board land sufficientlywith the soldering iron, and then solder. Solderwithout directly touching the iron tip to theelectrode of the capacitor.

Don’t reuse the product (part) once removed bythe soldering iron.

Avoid mass mounting of chip film capacitors bysoldering iron. (Temperature control is difficult,and the characteristics may be deteriorated.)

Please do not resolder with heat directly frombottom side of P. C. B. because capacitor willlikely be damaged.

3. Washing3.1. Washing of chip type

Since the chip type capacitor does not have acoating, components of flux or detergent left overon the element at the time of washing may beactivated and invade into the inside of thecapacitor, and adverse effects may be caused.Observe the following cautions.

In the case of washing, use flux and cream solderwith halogen content of 0.1wt.% or less whenmounting.

In the case of ultrasonic washing, note that peelingof protective film, electrode separation due toresonance, or characteristic deterioration mayoccur depending on the detergent used orultrasonic output. Check carefully beforehand.

When using a CFC substitute detergent, with thewashing method of spraying detergent (rinsingwater) to the substrate at high pressure, theprotective film on the element surface may bepeeled off due to the water pressure. Checkcarefully beforehand.

<Usable detergent and washing method>(Usable detergent)

<CFC substiture detergent>As a result of regulation of CFC and chlorine derivativedetergents, many substitute detergents come to beused, but the performance of the chip type capacitormay be reduced depending on the type of detergent orwashing condition. Check sufficiently beforehand.Consult us in advance if planning to use CFC substitutedetergent.

<Drying after washing>Dry after washing so that the detergent is not left over. Ifdrying is insufficient, the detergent is left over on theelement surface, and the insulation resistance ismeasured to be lowered. Dry enough so as not to leavedetergent.

Other Cautions1. Changes in capacitance value over time

The capacitor characteristics change charactersticdepending on its ambient conditions andenvironmental conditions. In natural conditions,there is a certain capacitance change due topermeation of humidity in the air. The degree ofsuch capacitance changes varies with thedielectric material, coating material, and structure.

For use in a circuit where time constant andcapacitance precision are required, use theproducts of polypropylene derivatives (ECQP,ECQF types) which vary less with time.

2. Hum (Buzz) Hum produced by capacitors due to mechanical

vibration of the film is caused by the coulomb forcewhich exists between electrodes of oppositepolarity. A louder hum is produced when appliedvoltage waveform has distortion, and/or higherfrequency component, etc. Although hum does notspoil characteristics of capacitors.

3. Storing method, storing conditions3.1 It must be noted that the solderbility of the external

electrode may deteriorated when stored in anatmosphere filled with moisture, dust, or a reactiveoxidizing gas (hydrogen chloride, hydrogensulfide, sulfuric acid).

3.2 Avoid location with particularly high temperatureand high humidity, and store in conditions notexceeding 35˚C and 85% RH.

4. Handling Precautions4.1 Sudden charging or discharging may cause

deterioration of capacitor such as shorting andopening due to charging or dischaging current.When charging or discharging, pass through aresistance of 20 to 1000Ω/V or more.

4.2 When connecting multiple film capacitors in parallelin withstand voltage test or life test, connect aresistance of 20 to 1000Ω/V or more in series toeach capacitor.

4.3 Be careful not to scratch the capacitor surface withsharp edges (such as screwdriver, soldering iron,pincers, chassis). Don’t apply excessive load tothe lead wire (at the time of re-processing of leadwire, etc.).

4.4 If the capacitor is dropped by mistake, itscharacteristics may be damaged. Don’t use it insuch a uase capacitor. (If reusing, check thequality sufficiently.)

4.5 In the case of leaded type capacitor, be careful notto apply excessive force to the lead wire root area,which may cause cracking or separation in thecoating resin near the root area.

Points to be noted when orderingWhen placing an oorder, please specify the following: 1. Working voltage 2. Capacitance value 3. Capacitance tolerance 4. Application products: fluorescent lamp, mercury

lamp, motor, electromagnetic cooker, microwaveoven, etc.

5. Capacitor function; resonance, motor running, powerfactor correction etc.

6. Condition of operation: pulse, frequency, wave-form,current.

7. Operating temperature.8. Dimensions: body size, lead-space, etc. 9. Shape: enclosure (dip, case, etc.), terminal (lead

wire, fast-on terminal,etc.)10. Safety: Infuence on other components when the

capacitor gets short-circuited or open. Influence oncapacitor when other components or the circuitworks irregularly.

11. Others: ƒProduct specifications, materials and other itemsmentioned in the catalog may be changed withoutnotification.

General Precautions For correct usage, please note the following points 1. Rated voltage

The rated voltage of capacitors for electricalequipment is usually specified as AC, exceptspecial types.

1) Selection of rated voltageIn addition to the normally operated terminal voltage,it is necessary to pay attention to rated frequency,load fluctuation and voltage change caused by aconnection with other electrical parts.

2) Permissible overvoltage Permissible continuous overvoltage, includingchanges in the source voltage, is less than 110% ofthe rated voltage. If supply voltage fluctuationexceeds+10%, the rated voltage should be raised.

2. Permissible overcurrent Permissible overcurrent caused by high frequency,permissible overvoltage etc.is less than 130% of therated current (2π rated frequency ratedcapacitance rated voltage 10–6).

3. Permissible VALess than 135% of the rated VA (rated voltage

rated current).

4. Operating temperature range 1) Maximum Permissible Temperature

Capacitors should be used within the maximumpermissible temperature. (The temperature defined by the highest capacitorsurface temperature, i.e. the sum of the inherenttemperature rise and the ambient temperature). Theambient temperature upper limit value according tothe conditions such as heat transmission and

....

radiation from nearby heat-generating sources orlittle air convection.

2) Minimum permissible temperature The minimum permissible temperature is – 25˚C.Capacitors should be used at ambient temperatureabove this figure.

5.Hum (Buzz) Hum produced by capacitor is due to mechanicalvibration of the film caused by the coulomb forcebetween electrodes of oppossite polarity. A louderhum may be produced when applied voltage wavehas distortion and or higher frequency. However, hum does not spoil characteristics ofcapacitors.

6.Other points to be noted1) In case capacitors are used at frequencies other

than the rated frequencies ( 50/60 Hz), please makean inquiry to our engineering section. Even within the rated voltage and current ranges,appropriate precautions are necessary if steepvoltage rises or high frequencies are applied.

2) When capacitors are fixed by screws, please notethe following.a) Tighten the screws with a torque of less than 2N E

m.b) Use M4 truss screws with washers. c) On burring process, care should be taken to keep

the correct tap-hole angle, and not to have aforeign matter intrusion and flash under thefastening terminal of the capacitor.

3) No dust or water should be permitted to remain onthe surface of capacitor terminals as this may causeelectrical leakage or corrosion.

Panasonic Capacitor with a Safety Mechanism

1. What are capacitors with a safety mechanismCapacitors for electrical equipment are widely used forpower factor correction in discharge lamp ballasts, andfor motor running in home electrical equiment.Althought it is rare for capacitors to emit smoke or tocatch fire in such equipment, accidents do occasionallyoccur, and the requirment to maintain safety up to theend of a capacitor's life is of great importance.Customarily, in order to maintain safety, the equipmentitself has been provided with some form of safetydevice, or capacitors in the equipment have been fittedwith built-in safety devices such as the pressure type,current fuse type, thermal type, etc.However, these capacitors with built-in safety deviceshave a complicated structure and are expensive, andbulky. From this reason, there has been a strongdemand for the development of a capacitor which hashigh safety and reliabitity as well as a simple structure.We have first developed a capacitor with a safetymechanism in which the conventional winding typecapacitor element itself maintains the safetymechanism.If any defect occurs in the capacitor, only the defectsite is isolated from the sourse, thus preventingcapacitors from accidents such as smoke emission andcatching fire.

2. Structure and operation (working) principles ofcapacitors with a safety mechanism.The capacitor basically has a conventional windingstrucrture, however it has unique segmentedmetallized electrodes, which form a parallel connectionof many small-capacitance capicitors referred as tocapacitor units here. If a dielectric breakdown should occur in this capacitorowing to overvoltage etc., only the fault capacitor unit isdesconnected, thus preventing the whole capacitorfrom being burnt out (smoke emission, catching fire). In this case, the normal function of the capacitor will bekept with only a slight reduction of capacitance. Sincethe basic structure consists of the conventional windingstructure, this capacitor shows the compatibility withcustomary capacitors and the same excellent featuresand quality as the conventional capacitors for electricalequipment.
