PRECAUTIONS & GUIDELINES
Explanation of Product

Overvoltage

Operation Using Solid Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Precaution

1. Do not apply an overvoltage to capacitors.

Explanatory Notes

1. An overvoltage will damage the dielectric of a capacitor and may affect the performance and life of a capacitor or cause catastrophic failure. Although a surge voltage, the maximum overvoltage including DC, peak AC and transients to which capacitors may be subjected for short periods of time, is specified for capacitors in the IEC and JIS standards, it does not imply long-term use but limited use under specific conditions.
