See “Hot spot temperature calculation”Insulation ResistanceRi x C ≥ 30,000 sImpulse CurrentI 2 .t max. = up to 1.69 A 2 sSpikes or peak currents in the capacitors may cause a deterioration of the bondingbetween the metallization and the connections. These bonds are capable of withstandingonly a limited amount of energy for each spike. The table shows the maximumenergy permitted in the form (I 2 .t), where I is in Amperes, and t is in seconds.Note: The formula (I 2 .t) replaces dv/dt which is less easy to use as it is not an expression of energy (I = C.dv/dt).This type of capacitor has been designed to withstand high (I 2 .t) values.Variation of Capacitance with Temperature ΔC ≤ ±2% between -40 and +85°CCClimatic Category 40/085/56 (IEC 68)Test Voltage Between Terminals @ 25°C 1.6 V n dc during 10sWithstanding Voltage Between Terminalsand Case @ 25°C@ 3 kVrms @ 50Hz during 1 min.182 | www.avx.com
