ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
ITEM
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Category temperature range -55 °C to +85 °C (to +125 °C with voltage derating)
Capacitance tolerance
± 20 %, ± 10 %, tested via bridge method, at 25 °C, 120 Hz
Dissipation factor
Limit per Standard Ratings table. Tested via bridge method, at 25 °C, 120 Hz
ESR
Limit per Standard Ratings table. Tested via bridge method, at 25 °C, 100 kHz
Leakage current
After application of rated voltage applied to capacitors for 5 min using a steady source of power with 1 kΩ
resistor in series with the capacitor under test, leakage current at 25 °C is not more than described in
Standard Ratings table of appropriate datasheet.
Note that the leakage current varies with temperature and applied voltage. See graph below for the
appropriate adjustment factor.
Reverse voltage
Capacitors are capable of withstanding peak voltages in the reverse direction equal to:
10 % of the DC rating at +25 °C
5 % of the DC rating at +85 °C
1 % of the DC rating at +125 °C
Vishay does not recommend intentional or repetitive application of reverse voltage.
Ripple current
For maximum ripple current values calculation (at 25 °C) refer to “Guide to Application” part of product
guide which is linked with relevant datasheet. If capacitors are to be used at temperatures above +25 °C,
the permissible ripple current (or voltage) shall be calculated using the derating factors:
1.0 at +25 °C
0.9 at +85 °C
0.4 at +125 °C
