How to use

Install the capacitor on the PCB in the designated through-hole footprint, observing polarity: the negative lead must be connected to the circuit ground or negative rail and the positive lead to the positive rail. Ensure correct orientation before soldering and follow standard soldering temperatures and times for through-hole components. Allow the part to cool after soldering before applying power. Verify that the circuit voltage does not exceed the capacitor's 50V rating and consider voltage derating if used in high-temperature environments.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, avoid continuous operation close to the rated voltage at elevated ambient temperatures; apply voltage derating where appropriate and use appropriate ripple current margins. If low impedance or long lifetime is required, select capacitors with specified low-ESR or higher temperature ratings. Always observe polarity and ensure proper mechanical support when used in environments with vibration.
