Discharge current 1mA/F measurement can be applied instead of 0.1mA/F. Because 0.1mA/F discharge current
measurement takes the longer time (V1 to V2) to discharge. In this case, capacitance will be affected by internal
resistance and will be measured higher value than actual value.
If measured capacitance, capacitance tolerance, capacitance change rate on temperature characteristics or loading
at high temperature are specified by 0.1mA/F in a catalogue or ENGINEERING APROVAL APECIFICATION.

Application guideline
Notice
1. Life time
Gold capacitors have
capacitance decrease
designing circuit. The
and operating current.
a longer lifetime than secondary batteries, but their life is still limited. During use,
and internal resistance rises. Take sufficient back-up time into consideration when
lifetime of a Gold Capacitor is greatly affected by ambient temperature, applied voltage
By reducing these factors as much as possible, capacitor lifetime can be lengthened.
2.Residual electric charge
Since Gold capacitors can hold great charge, there may be residual electric charge that could damage other
low-withstanding voltage parts such as semiconductors.
3.Ambient temperature
•Capacitor life is affected by operating temperature. In general lowering ambient temperature by 10°C will
double the life of a capacitor. Use the capacitor at the lowest possible temperature under the maximum
operating temperature.
•Operation above the maximum specified temperature not only shortens capacitor life, but can also cause
serious damage such as electrolyte leakage. Verify the operating temperature of the capacitor by taking into
consideration not only the ambient temperature and temperature inside the unit, but also the radiation from heat
generating elements inside the unit (power transistor, IC's, resistors, etc.) and self-heating due to ripple current.
Be careful not to place heat-generating elements across from the capacitor on the opposite side of the PCB.
4.Piease be careful of voltage drops in the Gold Capacitor during back-up.
Momentary voltage drops may occur due to operating current and Gold Capacitor’s internal resistance in cases
where large current was applied during the change to backup mode by power failure detection.
accordingly, the maximum load current listed in the rating should not be considered ａｓ the average current, but
rather as the maximum current including momentary current.
5.Heat stress during soldering
Excessive heat stress may result in the deterioration of the electrical characteristics of the capacitor, loss of
air-tightness, and electrolyte leakage due to the rise in internal pressure.
Use the general reference chart to set soldering temperature and time

Caution
1.Over Voltage
If Gold Capacitor is used at a voltage exceeding its maximum operating voltage, not only is its lifetime shortened
but also depending on the actual voltage, gas generated by electrochemical resections inside the capacitor may
cause it to leak or rupture.
2.Polarity
Be sure to verify the polarity of the capacitor before use. If a reverse voltage is applied for a long time, capacitor
lifetime is shortened and serious damage such as electrolyte leakage may occur.
3.Ripple current
Gold Capacitors have a higher internal resistance than electrolytic capacitors and are more susceptible to
internal heat generation when the temperature of the element rises, reaction current flows inside the Gold
Capacitor, generating reaction products and raising internal resistance even further. This makes it difficult to
maintain capacitor temperature 3deg.C measured at the surface of the capacitor.
4.Connection capacitors in series
Taking into consideration the possibility of an imbalance in the voltage across the capacitors, make sure that the
voltage applied to each capacitor will not exceed the maximum operating voltage. If the voltage balance breaks
down, an over voltage condition could result. To prevent this from occurring, add a voltage-driving resistor in
parallel with each capacitor, allowing the capacitor’s leakage current.
5.Environmental conditions
Avoid the use of capacitors at a temperature above the maximum operating temperature. In this case, it may
cause the increase of electrolyte vapor pressure and the gas generation by electrochemical reactions which
result in inner-pressure rise, serious damage and electrolyte leakage.
6.Mounting considerations
Double-side circuit board
Do not set wiring pattern directly to the mounted capacitor, and pass between terminals. If the electrolyte leaks,
short circuit may occur and tracking or migrations are anticipated.
Through hole board
Do not locate the capacitor close to circuit board. Solder blowing out of the holes possibly causes the short
circuit.
7.Do not apply any strong force to the capacitor after circuit installation has been completed.
8.Do not use glue, which contain a halogen.
9.Circuit board cleaning
Circuit boards can be immersed or ultrasonically cleaned using suitable cleaning solvents for up to 5minutes and
up 60deg.C maximum temperatures. The board should be thoroughly rinsed and dried.
[Recommended cleaning solvent include]
Pine Alpha ST-100s, Sunelec B-12, DK be-clear CW -5790, Aqua Cleaner 210SEP, Cold Cleaner P3-375,

♦Consult with us if you are using a solvent other than any of those listed above.
♦The uses of ozone depleting cleaning agents are not recommended in the interest protecting the environment.

10.Do not use or store the unit containing the capacitor in any of the following environments.
•Environment where the capacitor is subject to direct contact with water, salt water or oil.
•Environment where capacitors are exposed to direct sunlight.
•High temperature, humid environment where water vapor is condensing on the capacitor surface.
•Environment where the capacitor is in contact with chemically active gases.
•Acid or alkaline environment.
•Environment subjects to excessive vibration and shock.
11.Do not store capacitor under any of the environment conditions listed below.
•At high temperature and high humidity.
•Where the capacitor is subject 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.
12.Emergency procedures
If capacitors overheat or start to smell, 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.
13.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.
•f you choose no to burn used capacitors, consign them to a specialized industrial waste processor for disposal.

fixed electric double layer capacitors with non-solid electrolyte for use in electric equipment.”
