Super Capacitors Vol.12 37

1.10 Super capacitors fitted with pressure valves

HV series super capacitors are fitted with pressure valves Make an opening in the top of the pressure valve to avoid any

damage to the super capacitor when the pressure valve is in use. Allow at least a 2mm opening for models with a diameter

of φ18mm or less, and at least a 3mm opening for models with a diameter of φ22mm.

2. Mounting

2.1 Mounting onto a reflow furnace

Except for the FC series, it is not possible to mount this capacitor onto an IR / VPS reflow furnace. Do not immerse the

capacitor into a soldering dip tank.

2.2 Flow soldering conditions

Keep solder under 260 ℃ and soldering time to within 10 seconds when using the flow automatic soldering method. (Except

for the FC and HV series)

2.3 Installation using a soldering iron

Care must be taken to prevent the soldering iron from touching other parts when soldering. Keep the tip of the soldering iron

under 400 ℃ and soldering time to within 3 seconds. Always make sure that the temperature of the tip is controlled. Internal

capacitor resistance is likely to increase if the terminals are overheated.

2.4 Lead terminal processing

Do not attempt to bend or polish the capacitor terminals with sand paper etc. Soldering may not be possible if the metallic

plating is removed from the top of the terminals.

2.5 Cleaning, Coating, and Potting

Except for the FM series, cleaning, coating, and potting must not be carried out. Consult us if this type of procedure is

necessary.

Terminals should be dried at less than the maximum operating temperature after cleaning.

3. Storage

3.1 Temperature and Humidity

Make sure that the super capacitor is stored according to the following conditions: Temp.: 5∼35 ℃ (Standard 25), Humidity:

20∼70% (Standard: 50%). Do not allow the build up of condensation through sudden temperature change.

3.2 Environment conditions

Make sure that there are no corrosive gasses like sulfur dioxide as penetration of the lead terminals is possible.

Always store this item in an area with low dust and dirt levels.

Make sure that the packaging will not be deformed through heavy loading, movement and/or knocks.

Keep out of direct sunlight, and away from radiation, static electricity, and magnetic fields.

3.3 Maximum storage period

This item may be stored up to one year from the date of delivery if stored at the conditions stated above.

This product should be safe to use even after being stored for over a 1 year period. However, depending on the storage

conditions, we recommend that the soldering is checked.

4. Dismantling

There is a small amount of electrolyte stored within thecapacitor. Do not attempt to dismantle as direct skin contact with the

electrolyte will cause burning.

This product should be treated as industrial waste and not is not to be disposed of by fire.
