In case of doubt please refer to IEC 60068-1, sub-clause 5.2. Capacitance tolerance Admitted capacitance deviation from the rated capacitance. Rated temperature (TR) The maximum ambient temperature surrounding the capacitor or hottest contact point (e.g. tracks), whichever is higher, at which the rated voltage Vdc or Vac at 50 Hz may be continuously applied. Rated voltage (VR) The maximum direct voltage or the maximum r.m.s. alternating voltage (50 Hz)or the peak value of a pulse voltage which may be continuously applied to a capacitor at any temperature between the lower category temperature and the rated temperature. Category voltage (Vc) The maximum direct voltage or the maximum r.m.s. alternating voltage or the peak value of a pulse voltage which may be continuously applied to a capacitor at its upper category temperature. Temperature derated voltage The maximum voltage that may be continuously applied to a capacitor for any temperature between the rated temperature and the upper category temperature. Climatic category The climatic category which the capacitor belongs to is expressed in numbers (standard IEC 60068-1: example 55/100/56). The first number represents the lower category temperature (example: -55C); the second number the upper category temperature (example: +100C) and the third number represents the number of days relevant to the damp heat test (example: 56 days). O pera ting temperature range The operating temperature of the capacitor is defined as the ambient temperature + self temperature raise + temperature raise due to thermal radiation from other heat sources. Temperature coefficient of capacitance (i) The change rate of capacitance with temperature measured over a specified range of temperature. It is normally expressed in parts per million per Celsius degree (10-6/C) and referred to 20C CI - Co where: Ci = Capacitance at temperature Ti i = Co = Capacitance at temperature 202C Co (Ti - To) For more details please refer to EN 130000. Variation of capacitance with humidity The capacitance of a plastic film capacitor changes with the ambient humidity. The capacitance change depends upon the dielectric type. Please refer to the graph at page 12. Dissipation factor (tg) The dissipation factor is the ratio between the resistive and the reactive part of the impedance of the capacitor submitted to a sinusoidal voltage of specified frequency. Insulation resistance (Ir) / time constant The insulation resistance is the ratio between an applied D.C. voltage and the resulting leakage current after a minute of charge. It is expressed in M. The time constant is expressed in seconds with the following formula: t [s]= Ir [M]xC [F]. It states the time necessary to reduce the voltage to the terminals of the capacitor at 37% of a fully charged capacitor value. Pulse rise time (dv/dt) and K0 The pulse rise time defines the capability of a capacitor to withstand high current peaks due to fast voltage changes. The peak current is defined by the following formula: Ip (peak current) = Cxdv/dt where: Ip in A; C in F; dv/dt in V/s K0 is the content of energy of the wave-form applied to the capacitor and it is defined by the following formula: K0= 20 (dv/dt)2 dt where: (pulse width) in s; K0 in V2/s. The maximum values of dv/dt and K0 mentioned in this catalogue must not be exceeded in order to prevent a dangerous overheating of the capacitor. 05/2007 General information Application notes - safety conditions 1.Operating voltage 1.1Rated voltage (VR) Rated voltage is the max voltage that may be continuously applied at the rated temperature. Values higher than the rated voltage may cause a perforation in the capacitor dielectric or a short circuit. Metallized capacitors have self-healing properties and the application of voltages higher than rated voltage will not cause an immediate short circuit. Instead, what may occur, is a progressive drop in the insulation resistance with a possible risk of smoke or fire, depending upon the type of electric circuit in which the capacitor is working. The rated voltage of the capacitor is usually D.C. If a capacitor marked D.C. is used as an A.C. capacitor, the maximum working voltage is limited by the heat produced or by micro discharges that could take place inside the capacitor. Do not use A.C. voltages higher than those specified in the catalogue for each series. Note: a) The A.C. voltages described in the catalogue refer to a sinusoidal wave-form. In case of other types of waveforms or for working conditions different from those described in the catalogue, please contact our Technical Service before using the capacitors. b) If the capacitor is subject to voltages higher than the rated voltage, caused, for example, by the bad functioning of other equipment, it might be necessary to use a protection device. c) The Rated Voltage (Vac) can be applied during the whole life of the capacitor in case you are using a suppressor series or those quoting "A.C. APPLICATIONS". In any other case, the Vac can be applied for a max. operating time of 1000 hours. 1.2 Derating of rated voltage for high operating temperature In case of a plastic film capacitor, the operating temperature (the temperature measured on the hottest point of the capacitor) depends upon the type of dielectric used, the ambient temperature in which the capacitor is placed, the type of voltage applied (A.C. or D.C.) and in case of pulse applications, upon the value of current and frequency applied. The rated voltage (VR) is the maximum voltage that can be applied at a temperature the rated temperature. For temperatures higher than the rated temperature it is necessary to apply a voltage derating to prevent any damages to the dielectric of the capacitor. This derating depends, in general, upon the type of dielectrics used (polyester, polypropylene, etc.). The catalogue quotes the limits for each series. 05/2007 General information 2. Dissipation (A.C. applications) When a capacitor is used in A.C. applications at high frequency, internal heating of the capacitor may follow with a possible risk of smoke or fire. This is caused by the heating effect of the current flowing through the internal resistance of the capacitor. The formula used to calculat the max power dissipated by the capacitor is the following: l rmsci 2 N N 2 cmax i i i max i i 1 1 i P = V rmsc x 2f x C x tg (f ) = 2f x C x tgmax (fi) where: = max dissipated power in watt Pcmax Vrmsci = r.m.s. voltage of the ith harmonic in volt Irmsci = r.m.s. current of the ith harmonic in ampere fi = frequency of the ith harmonic in hertz C = capacitance in farad tgmax (fi) = max. dissipation factor corresponding to the frequency of the ith harmonic N = number of significant harmonics Vrmsci (Irmsci ) is related to Vpp (Ipp ) as shown in Fig. 2 at page 8. In case of sinusoidal wave-form (N = 1) the formula to calculate Pcmax becomes: Pcmax = V2rmsc x 2f x C x tgmax (f) = l2rmsc 2f x C x tgmax (f) (to calculate the Pcmax for some typical wave-forms, it is possible to use the approximate formulas of Vrmsc and Irmsc listed in the table 1 at page 5). Tlim = allowed capacitor overtemperature in C. Th = max. ambient temperature surrounding the capacitor or hottest contact point (e.g. tracks), whichever is higher, in the worst operation conditions in C. Box Type For Th 40C Tlim = 40C Tlim = 20C for film-foil polypropylene capacitors (KP), polypropylene capacitors with double sided metallized film electrodes (MMKP), metallized polyester film capacitors (MKT). for polypropylene capacitors with single sided metallized film electrodes (MKP). The outline of Tlim vs. Th is represented in the graph at page 6. The formula used to calculate the max. power that may be dissipated by the capacitor is: Tlim Pclim = Rth where: Pclim = maximum power that may be dissipated by the capacitor in W Rth = thermal resistance of the capacitor in C/W (see table 2 at page 5). Tlim = allowed capacitor overtemperature in C It must be: Pcmax Pclim In case of a sinusoidal wave-form the graphs of V(f) are illustrated in the pages of the catalogue relative to each series. Warning: apart from the derating of the voltage versus the working frequency it is also necessary to consider the derating of the voltage versus the working temperature (see paragraph 1.2). Do not hesitate to contact our Technical Service for any doubts or more detailed information. 05/2007 General information Table 1 Table 2 WAVE-FORM Pitch ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS Vrmsc = Vpp 1.04 Irmsc = (mm) t 2T 5.0 Ipp/2 t 1.04 2T f= 1 7.5 2t 1 tgmax at f = 2t 10.0 Vpp Vrmsc = 2 2 Ipp Irmsc = 2 2 f= 15.0 1 T 1 tgmax at f = T 8 2 Vi t Vrmsc = i=1 2 8 Irmsc = i=1 f= 22.5 2 Ii t 2 2T 1 t tgmax at f = Vrmsc = Vpp f= 2T 27.5 1 t 3T-4t 12T 1 T tgmax at f = 37.5 1 4t B 2.5 3.5 4.5 5.0 6.0 7.2 2.5 3.0 3.5 3.5 4.0 5.0 6.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.5 6.0 7.5 8.5 9.0 7.5 10.0 13.0 11.0 6.0 6.5 7.0 8.5 10.0 11.0 13.0 9.0 10.0 11.0 13.0 13.0 14.0 15.0 18.0 22.0 11.0 13.0 16.0 19.0 20.0 24.0 30.0 Box H (mm) 6.5 7.5 9.5 10.0 11.0 13.0 7.0 8.0 6.5 8.5 9.0 11.0 12.0 9.0 11.0 12.0 10.0 11.0 12.0 13.5 17.5 14.5 14.5 12.5 18.5 16.0 12.0 19.0 15.0 13.5 16.0 17.0 18.5 20.0 22.0 17.0 20.0 20.0 22.0 25.0 28.0 24.5 33.0 37.0 22.0 24.0 28.5 32.0 40.0 44.0 45.0 L 7.2 7.2 7.2 7.2 7.2 7.2 10.0 10.0 10.5 10.5 10.5 10.5 10.5 13.0 13.0 13.0 18.0 18.0 18.0 18.0 18.0 18.0 18.0 18.0 18.0 18.0 18.0 18.0 26.5 26.5 26.5 26.5 26.5 26.5 26.5 32.0 32.0 32.0 32.0 32.0 32.0 32.0 32.0 32.0 41.5 41.5 41.5 41.5 41.5 41.5 41.5 Rth (C/W) 127 111 94 90 82 73 107 98 100 91 86 75 69 79 69 64 65 60 56 51 48 49 48 50 45 44 45 40 43 44 41 38 36 34 31 35 32 31 29 28 26 27 23 21 27 25 23 21 19 17 16 Note: For axial type see page 6. 05/2007 General information Maximum Overtemperature Tlim vs. Th for Box Type Maximum Self-heating rise for series in Axial configuration. 05/2007 Series Costruction Configuration Maximum ambient Temperature A50 MKT Axial 85C 10C A70 MKP Axial 85C 10C A72 MKP Film foil Axial 85C 10C Maximum Self Temperature rise General information 3. Permissible current The main effect produced by the current flowing through the capacitor is overheating. If the heating is excessive, the capacitor might deteriorate, which could cause a short or open circuit of the capacitor or a fire. The heating of the capacitor can be caused by two different types of currents: 3.1 Effective current (r.m.s. current) given by a periodic wave-form, causing the entire body of the capacitor to heat up. 3.2 Peak of current caused by a pulse wave-form. * When a medium-high current pulse flows through the capacitor for a very short time (s/ns), a localized heating of the ends of the capacitor might take place due to the resistance of the contacts between the leads and end spray and between the end spray and the electrodes of the capacitor. These conditions usually take place mainly in the following type of circuits: switching, snubber, fly-back and S-correction. * The parameters that define this type of phenomenon are dv/dt (pulse rise time) and Ko. The pulse rise time defines the capability of a capacitor to withstand high current peaks due to fast voltage changes. The peak current is defined by the following formula: Ip (peak current) = C x dv/dt where: Ip in A; C in F; dv/dt in V/s K0 is the content of energy of the wave-form applied to the capacitor and it is defined by the following formula: K0= 20 (dv/dt)2 dt where: = pulse width. K0 is expressed in V2/s. The maximum values of dv/dt and K0 mentioned in this catalogue must not be exceeded in order to prevent a dangerous overheating of the capacitor. If more than 10,000 pulses are applied, please kindly contact our Technical Service, unless you are using series A72, R73, R74, R75, R76, R77, R79, RSB. Warning: If the capacitor is subjected to r.m.s. and pulse currents higher than those admitted, caused for example by a bad functioning of any other equipment, we suggest the use of a protection device. 05/2007 General information 4. Operating temperature 4.1 T (overtemperature of a capacitor). As described in the previous paragraphs, when a capacitor is used in A.C. applications the current that flows through the capacitor makes it heat up. If the capacitor heats up too much it might deteriorate causing a short circuit or fire. It is essential that the limits described in the catalogue are not exceeded and that a temperature check on the capacitor is made whenever it is under heavy load. 4.2 Method for determining the overtemperature (Tm) of the capacitor (indicative only). Figure 1 shows the test lay-out. The measurement must be made in free air convection. The capacitor being tested must be supplied by the working voltage (Vac) and frequency (f). At a distance of about 50 mm it is necessary to place another capacitor (without any electric supply) on which the ambient temperature(T2) is measured. A polystyrene paper is placed between the p.c.b. on which the capacitor is fitted and the capacitor itself. The temperature (T1) must be measured in the hottest part of the capacitor being tested by using a thermocouple with a small heating capacity (O <0.25 mm) or an infrared thermometer. Fig. 1 Tm = T1 - T2 4.3 How to calculate the max. T of the capacitor. To calculate the max. T of the capacitor use the following formula: Tm Tmax = x tgmax tg m where: Tmax = capacitor overtemperature calculated using the max tg value at the working frequency. Tm = T1 - T2 (see paragraph 4.2). tgm = dissipation factor of the tested capacitor measured at the working frequency and at the temperature reached by the capacitor under test. tgmax = max. dissipation factor at the working frequency of the capacitor under test (if this value is not available at catalogue, please contact us). 4.4 When using the capacitors, make sure that the Tmax of the capacitor (own overtemperature), calculated as described in paragraph 4.3, remains within the limits listed in paragraph 2 ( Tmax Tlim) . Warning: When a capacitor is used above its max. operating temperature, the dissipation factor (tg) increases and consequently the heat generated by the capacitor itself. Temperatures exceeding the maximum admitted value might cause a damage of the dielectric, a short circuit or an increase in the risk of fire or smoke. The same effects might be caused by other components or parts of the circuit that produce heat and cause localized heatings of the capacitor beyond its performance limits. In this case we suggest to check the temperature of the hottest point of the capacitor subject to the heat produced by the other components. 05/2007 General information 5. Ionisation Ionisation may lead to a destructive process of the capacitor. This phenomenon is due to the air that is inside the capacitor and precisely: * the air contained inside the dielectric * the air present in between the different layers of film that form the capacitor * the air present near the ends of the capacitor When the intensity of the electric field that is formed in a capacitor exceeds the dielectric rigidity of the air, some microdischarges might take place that could damage the dielectric of the capacitor and/or the metallization itself. This phenomenon causes a drop in the capacitance and in the case of persistent ionization il may give rise to a short circuit or fire. The voltage at which the ionization phenomenon is started is called corona inception voltage. The size of the phenomenon depends upon certain factors such as: * the amount of air contained in the capacitor * the type of dielectric used * impregnating elements (if used) * the type of electrode (metallized film, film-foil) * the type of construction (radial, axial) * the construction parameters (i.e. element flattening) * the temperature, voltage, working frequency For a proper use of the capacitor, always make sure that the following condition is satisfied: Vpp (peak to peak voltage) 2 x 2 x VR (a.c.) 6. Pulse applications In case of pulse applications it is necessary to follow these rules that must be considered as the minimum condition to be satisfied to prevent any damages to the capacitor itself and consequently to the circuit and to the equipment the capacitor has been fitted to: Fig. 2 Wave-form characteristics (Fig. 2) Capacitor characteristics involved Choice criteria Vmax (max. voltage) Dielectric strength Vmax VR (d.c.)

Across-the-line and interference suppression applications 7.1 When a capacitor is used for this type of application it may be subject to a mains voltage on a permanent basis and to surges caused, for example, by lightning, power commutations etc. In these working conditions the capacitor must be a component with a safety margin able to satisfy the main International Standards, e.g.: * IEC 60384-14 (International Standard) * EN 132400 (similar to the previous) * UL 1414, UL 1283 * CSA C22.2 Nr. 1 (European Standard) (American Standards) (Canadian Standards) For safety reasons it is advisable to use components approved according to the above mentioned standards. * 7.2 Main safety tests related to IEC 60384-14 and EN132400 are listed at page 154. * For "capacitor connected in serial with main line" (two - phase and three - phase net) application, please read the "SHORT GUIDE TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT FILM CAPACITORS" at pag. 152 and contact our Technical Service for choosing the safest solution. 8. Special working conditions * Humid ambient. If used for a long time in a humid ambient, the capacitor might absorb humidity and oxidise the electrodes causing breakage of the capacitor. In case of AC application, high humidity would increase the corona effect. This phenomenon cause a drop in the capacitance value. In case of working condition in AC application more severe than following table, please contact our Technical Service for detailed informations. WORKING T RELATIVE HUMIDITY AVERAGE FOR YEAR 25C 70% 2 WKS COUNTINUOSLY 30C 90% * Resin. If the capacitor is placed in resin, the following situations might occur: - the solvent contained in the resin might deteriorate the characteristics of the capacitor; - the heat generated during the polymerisation might damage the capacitor. * Adhesive curing oven. Do not place the polypropylene capacitor in the polymerisation oven of the resin used to glue SMD components: the heat combined with the length of stay in the oven might damage the dielectric of the capacitor with risk of short circuit. When the polypropylene capacitor is used together with SMD components, always fit it after the SMD gluing process. 05/2007 10 General information 9. Soldering suggestions In order to obtain a good solderability, we suggest to observe the following rules: 9.1 Max soldering temperature Set the temperature so that inside the element the maximum temperature is below the limit: KP/MKP MKT 110C 160C Solder within the following temperature profiles especially for iron soldering. PRE-HEATING: Temp. 110 C 100 C Time 1 min 1 min (for KP/ MKP p7.5mm Box series:Tmax = 275C for 4s (260C for 4s for MKP p 7.5mm 9.2 General conditions 9.2.1 If two solderings are needed please apply a recovery time until the temperature on the capacitor surface is below 50C. 9.2.2 Avoid any passing through adhesive curing oven when fixing SMD parts in combination with leaded parts. Insert leaded parts only after the curing of SMD parts. 9.2.3 Reflow: avoid reflow soldering by combining the lead type with SMD parts. 10. ROHS Compliance In accordance with Arcotronics commitment to continuously enhance Customer satisfaction and environmental care we inform that the product series of this catalogue are from now on available in Lead Free and that they are completely in compliance with all the requirements of the EU Directives and Regulations in matter of Restriction of use of Hazardous Substances (such as 2002/95/EC, known as Rohs Directive). Unique exceptions some products that are currently manufactured with tinfoil film such as product series P12 - P14 - P42 - A72. We can furthermore confirm that apart the termination wires (now Lead Free) no other changes were activated on our manufacturing process and that product behaviour vs. soldering processes and performances has not evidenced any difference with the one previously established and validated. In any further detail is needed please contact us. 11 05/2007 General information OTHERS * Any buzzing noise produced by the capacitor is caused by the vibration of the film due to the Coulomb force that is generated between the electrodes with opposite poles. This buzzing noise becomes louder if a wave-form with a high distortion rate or frequency is applied across the capacitor. This buzzing noise is of no damage to the capacitor. * The capacitor modifies its characteristics according to the ambient conditions in which it operates. In normal conditions a variation in the capacitance takes place due to the amount of humidity contained in the air. The variation mainly depends upon the type of dielectric and the material used for the coating. * Avoid to store the capacitors in places where the conditions differ from the following: * Storage time: 24 months from the date marked on the label glued to the package. * Temperature: -40 to 80C * 05/2007 Humidity: - Average per year: 70% - For 30 full days randomly distributed throughout the year: 85% - Dew: absent. These levels of humidity must be reduced according to the ambient temperature on the basis of the graph that follows. 12 General information TYPICAL PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS POLYESTER FILM Typical properties: * very wide operating temperature range * high dielectric constant * Excellent self-healing properties * very good ratio box size/ capacitance * good stability POLYPROPYLENE FILM Typical properties: * very low dissipation factor * very low dielectric absorption * very high insulation resistance * good behaviour in frequency * Excellent self-healing properties.
