Remark
|
CA45 Standard
|
1) Energy storage
2) Low-power filtering
3) Consumer electronics
4) Leakage protectors
5) General audio
6) Bluetooth wireless devices
|
1) High-power filtering (high-power supplies, communications);
2) High-frequency filtering with low circuit impedance
|
1) Derating to 30% for filtering circuits;
2) Derating to 50% for energy storage circuits
|
1) do not reverse the polarity;
2) avoid using a multi-meter to test the capacitor;
3) pay attention to the peak temperature and duration of reflow soldering (within -5℃ range of the peak temperature)
|
CA45L Low ESR
|
1) Industrial control instruments
2) Medical
3) Household appliances
4) Automobiles
5) High-end audio
6) Bluetooth wireless devices
|
High-power filtering (high-power supplies, communications)
|
1) Derating to 50% for filtering circuits;
2) Derating to 70% for energy storage circuits
|
1) do not reverse the polarity;
2) avoid using a multi-meter to test the capacitor;
3) pay attention to the peak temperature and duration of reflow soldering (within -5℃ range of the peak temperature)
|
CA55 Polymer
|
1) Industrial control instruments (non-wireless Bluetooth)
2) Medical (non-wireless Bluetooth)
3) Home appliances (non-wireless Bluetooth)
4) Automobiles (program control systems)
5) Audio (fever-level)
6) Communications (high-frequency)
7) Solid-state drives (power failure protection) 8) Laptops (chip filtering)
|
1) Meters: gas meter, energy meter,water meter,
2) Bluetooth wireless devices
Other circuits requires low leakage
|
1) Derating to 80% for filtering circuits;
2) Derating to 50% for high-power pulse charging and discharging circuits
|
1) do not reverse the polarity;
2) pay attention to the peak temperature and duration of reflow soldering;
3) pay attention to moisture storage before reflow soldering to prevent cracking and increased leakage current after reflow soldering
