Matters to Be Observed When Using This Product

(Film capacitor)

Use environments
■ This product is intended for standard general-purpose use in electronic equipment, and is not designed for use in specific
environments described below. Using the product in such specific environments or service conditions, therefore, may
affect the performance of the product. Please check the performance and reliability of the product first before using the
product.

(1) The product characteristics may deteriorate in environments where the product is exposed to water, oil, direct sunlight,
ozone, UV-rays, radiant rays, etc. Do not use the product in these environments.
(2) High-humidity environment: When the capacitor is used in a high-humidity environment for a long period, moisture
permeates its outer case reaching internal elements as time goes by.
This moisture oxidizes a film deposit or spraying of metal, thus causing the capacitor problems. As a result of moisture
absorption, some types capacitors may have their capacitances increased.
(3) High temperature: There are cases where oil leaks from an ECQUG type capacitor used under high-temperature
conditions (70°C or higher). However, it rarely happens and does not affect the quality and reliability of the capacitor
at all. Nevertheless, avoid such a configuration in which the product and a component that may have a contact failure
caused by oil are incorporated together in the same circuit set. If you have any question, please feel free to contact us.
(4) Gaseous atmosphere: Avoid using the capacitor in an oxidizing gas, such as a hydrogen chloride gas, hydrogen
sulfide gas, and sulfurous acid gas. Using the capacitor in such a gaseous atmosphere results in oxidized film deposit
(aluminum) or spraying of metal (zinc) that may cause an ignition or smoking incident.
(5) Resin coat: If you intend to coat the capacitor with a resin for the purpose of improving its resistance to moisture and
gas or fixing a component, make separate inquiries to us about the matter.
A chemical solvent included in the resin permeates the metal sprayed parts or electrode (film deposit), which may
cause the degradation of the capacitor characteristics. When curing resin, the resin generates chemical reaction heat
(curing heat), which may have a negative influence on the capacitor.
When embedding the whole capacitor completely with a resin, sufficiently analyze/assess the effects of the
thermomechanical stress created by thermal expansion/shrinkage.
(6) See to it that no dust gets deposited on the product. Dust deposition on the product causes current leakage, etc.,
leading to a degradation of the product characteristics.

Cleaning conditions
■ The effects of cleaning processes on the capacitor vary widely, depending on its structure and materials. Generally
speaking, the capacitor is hardly susceptible to a CFC-based solvent and an alcohol-based solvent but is affected by
a solvent with high polarity in some cases. In many cases, the capacitor with leads is covered with an outer casing
made of an epoxy resin highly resistant to chemicals and is therefore barely affected by a cleaner. We nevertheless
advise you to clean the capacitor as quickly as possible. A chip-type laminated film capacitor (ECHU, ECWU, ECPU)
is not protected with an outer jacket. During cleaning processes, solder flux or a cleaner deposited on an element of
the capacitor, may be activated and flow into the capacitor, causing a problem.

■ Ultrasonic cleaning may cause some problems, depending on the cleaner used and ultrasonic power output.
Such problems include peeling of protective film, separation of an electrode due to resonance, and degraded
capacitor characteristics. Make sufficient examinations/confirmations before carrying out ultrasonic cleaning.

■ As a result of strict regulations on CFC-based and chlorine-based solvents, cleaners not containing such solvents
have come into wide use. Some such alternative cleaners are, however, still harmful to the chip-type laminated film
capacitor and could be harmful under improper cleaning conditions. Examine the cleaner sufficiently before using it.
If you intend to use an alternative cleaner, please contact us in advance. Cleaning methods using an alternative cleaner
include a method in which a high-pressure spray of cleaner (water) hits against the board.
In this case, the water pressure may cause the protective film to peel off from the element surface.
Research the cleaning method before executing it.

■ Dry the cleaned capacitor sufficiently so that no cleaner remains thereon. An insufficient drying process allows the cleaner
to remain on the element surface, in which case measurement of the insulation resistance of the capacitor may indicate
an apparent drop in the insulation resistance.

■ A recommended cleaner is isopropyl alcohol (IPA), which is a general industrial reagent. Recommended cleaning
conditions include a cleaning temperature of 50°C and a cleaning time of 5 minutes or shorter, which apply equally to
immersion cleaning, vapor cleaning, and ultrasonic cleaning.

■ A list of cleaners that can be or cannot be used to clean the capacitor is shown on the next page. See the list for your
reference. If you are not clear about whether or not a cleaner can be used to clean the capacitor, make sure to contact us.

 Matters to Be Observed When Using This Product

Response to anomalies and handling conditions

■ A dielectric film is not a fire-resistant material. In contrast, an ECQE type metallized polyester capacitor and ECWF type/
ECWH type metallized polypropylene capacitors each have an outer casing made of a fire-resistant epoxy resin (UL94 V-0).

■ Because the capacitor described herein is made of a combustible material, it may generate smoke or even ignite when
exposed to excessive heat. We therefore recommend you cover the capacitor with a fire-resistant material or fire-resistant
case. When you use the capacitor at an operating voltage of 30 V AC or higher or 45 V DC or higher, to prevent
noise between a line and the ground or between different lines, we recommend you cover a resin component near the
capacitor with a fire-resistant material or fire-resistant case (to prevent a fire accident).

■ When a different component in the same circuit has short-circuited or developed an open failure, see to it that a voltage
or current higher than the rated voltage or current or excessive heat is not applied to the capacitor.
We define the maximum voltage that can be applied consecutively regardless of temperature, as rated voltage*1.
Be careful with the fact, however, that this rated voltage is different from rated voltages defined in JIS, IEC, etc.*2
*1 Definition of the rated voltage by our company
We define the maximum voltage that can be applied continuously within the entire category temperature range,
as the rated voltage. In a high-temperature condition where voltage reduction is necessary, a reduced maximum
voltage is referred to as the rated voltage. Therefore, the maximum voltage that can be applied continuously at the
category upper limit temperature is also referred to as the rated voltage.
*2 Definition of the rated voltage by JIS and IEC
JIS and IEC define the maximum voltage that can be applied continuously within a temperature range from the
category lower limit temperature to the rated temperature, as the rated voltage. According to JIS and IEC, the
maximum voltage that can be applied continuously at the category upper limit temperature is referred to as the
category voltage. In a temperature range from the rated temperature to the category upper limit temperature,
voltage reduction is necessary in some cases, where a reduced maximum voltage is referred to as
temperature-dependent reduced voltage.

■ Current that charges or discharges from the capacitor in a rapid charge or discharge causes short-circuit failure,
open failure, etc., thus leading to the degradation of the capacitor characteristics. Make sure that the capacitor is
charged or discharges with a resistance of 20 Ω/V to 1000 Ω/V or more in series. In a withstand voltage test, service
life test, etc., where numbers of the capacitors are connected in parallel, each capacitor must have a resistance of
20 Ω/V to 1000 Ω/V or more connected in series thereto.

■ Make sure that a sharp element (a screw driver, solder iron, tweezers, a chassis edge, etc.) does not hit the capacitor
surface.
Do not apply an unnecessarily heavy load to the leads (for example, by reworking the leads).

■ Accidentally dropping the capacitor on the floor may damage its characteristics. Do not use a capacitor when this
happens. If you still use such a dropped capacitor, check its quality first.

■ Be careful not to apply excessive force to the base of the leads of a lead-type capacitor. It causes the exterior resin
near the base to crack.

■ The chip-type capacitor has been developed under the assumption that it will be used as an ordinary surface-mounted
component. Avoid using a capacitor in an unusual configuration (e.g., stacking the capacitors in two layers, setting
the capacitor in a standing position, etc.). When you intend to use the capacitor in an unusual configuration, please
contact us in advance.

■ Take care to prevent water or dust from adhering to the terminal surface of the capacitor. Water or dust on the terminal
causes current leakage, corrosion, etc.

■ The capacitor emits a humming sound created by mechanical vibration of the dielectric film caused by a coulomb
force between the positive and negative electrodes. In particular, the humming sound, in the form of a sound wave
containing a source voltage distortion or harmonic component, is heard as a high-tone sound.
From the viewpoint of electrical characteristics, it poses no problem. However, when the capacitor is used at a
frequency close to the audible frequency, check the humming sound.

■ When the capacitor is used as a capacitor for preventing noise from an AC power supply (across-the-line capacitor),
a source voltage is constantly applied to the capacitor and a surge voltage, such as a lightning surge, is applied
to the capacitor as well. This may cause the capacitor to ignite or generate smoke. For such capacitors inserted
between power lines, strict safety standards are set by individual countries, using products conforming to the safety
standards is mandatory. When you are looking for across-the-line capacitors for use in domestic equipment, use
capacitors conforming to overseas certification standards or capacitors listed below.

 Matters to Be Observed When Using This Product

■ When ECQE(F)1A /2A, ECQE(B)1A, and ECQE(T)1A /2A are used as across-the-line capacitors, they must satisfy
at least one of the following conditions.

(1) A varistor with a varistor voltage specified in the following table or lower is connected in parallel with the capacitor.
(2) No pulse voltage higher than the pulse voltage specified in the following table is applied across both ends of the
capacitor.

■ When using a varistor together with the capacitor, confirm the varistor with the delivery specification sheet and use a
varistor with no sign of surge-caused deterioration.

250 V.AC (2A) 470 V 630 Vo-p

■ When using the capacitor in equipment requiring capacitors conforming to overseas certification standards, use
capacitors (typical types) listed in the following table. To know about CQC standards in China, make an inquiry with us.

Shape Type Certification standards

Resin case ECQUA UL 60384-14(US), CSA E60384-14(CA), EN 60384-14(EU)
Resin case ECQUL UL 60384-14(US), CSA E60384-14(CA), EN 60384-14(EU)
Resin case ECQUG UL 60384-14(US), CSA E60384-14(CA), EN 60384-14(EU)

■ Using the capacitor as a voltage dropper may result in a reduction in the capacitance. For example, when an abnormal
voltage, such as surge voltage, is applied to the capacitor, a fuse inside the capacitor is activated, which reduces its
capacitance. In a worst-case scenario, the capacitor no longer functions as a voltage dropper.
Observe the capacitor carefully to see if any abnormal voltage is applied thereto. Such abnormal voltage to the capacitor
may generate high voltage applied to the circuit load. To deal with such a problem, provide the circuit with a safety
protection means.

Reliability and product life

■ Capacitor characteristics change, depending on ambient environment conditions under which the capacitor operates.
Even when the capacitor is just left as it is, humidity in the air can infiltrate the capacitor and cause a slight change in
its capacitance. An extent to which the capacitance changes in this situation varies depending on a dielectric material,
an outer casing material, a structure, etc.
We take these characteristics changes into consideration before shipping out the capacitor. However, unless a separate
agreement is made, our guarantee for the specified capacitance value will be effective only up to the delivery date.

■ When using a capacitor in a circuit that requires precise capacitor elements, such as time constant, use
polypropylene-based capacitors with less time-dependent change, such as ECWFD, ECWF(A)、ECWF(L), ECWH(A),
PPS-based ECHU(X), and ECHU(C).

■ A product conforming to "AEC-Q200" refers to a product having passed some or all of the evaluation test items defined
in AEC-Q200. To know the detailed specifications of individual products or specific evaluation test scores, please
contact us.
We issue a delivery specification sheet for each product ordered. Please confirm with the sheet when you place
an order with us.

Circuit design (working voltage)

■ The maximum working voltage applicable to a capacitor varies, depending on the voltage waveform, current waveform,
frequency, ambient temperature (surface temperature), capacitance, etc. When using a capacitor, check the voltage
waveform and current waveform applied across both terminals of the capacitor and the operating frequency and make
sure that these are within specified values. When the frequency is high, some product types take different allowable
voltages. You can confirm detailed information about this matter on delivery specification sheets.

■ The rated voltage is the maximum voltage that can be applied continuously within the category temperature range.
Operating the capacitor with a voltage higher than the rated voltage leads to dielectric breakdown of the capacitor film,
which may cause a short-circuit failure. Service lives of capacitors operating at the maximum rated voltages vary,
depending on their types.

■ When a voltage higher than the rated voltage is applied to the capacitor, it does not cause a short circuit failure
immediately because of the self-recovery ability of the capacitor, however, a drop in the insulation resistance may occur,
which can lead to smoke generation or ignition under certain circuit conditions.

■ Do not use a noise-preventing capacitor (AC rated voltage type) in a high-frequency circuit. It may cause smoke
generation or ignition under certain service conditions. Rated voltages of capacitors for electronic equipment, except that
of a special types, are usually indicated as DC voltage.

 Matters to Be Observed When Using This Product

■ The capacitor has an upper limit service temperature (surface temperature) determined in accordance with the type of
a dielectric material making up the capacitor. When using the capacitor at a temperature higher than the rated temperature,
confirm the following classification table because some types capacitors require voltage reduction. Even when the
capacitor can be used at a temperature higher than the rated temperature, make sure that voltage reduction is carried
out to keep the surface temperature equal to or lower than an upper limit service temperature specified in the following
table.
A capacitor used at a high frequency shows a self-temperature rise. A voltage reduction rate shown in the following
table, therefore, cannot be applied in this case.
The AC rated voltage type capacitor does not need a temperature-dependent voltage reduction.

 Matters to Be Observed When Using This Product

■ Use the noise-preventing capacitor (AC rated voltage type) on the primary power circuit. This capacitor is designed on the
assumption that a 50 Hz or 60 Hz sine wave voltage is applied to the capacitor. When using a capacitor with a DC rated
voltage type in an AC circuit, see "Voltage at Which DC Rated Voltage Type Capacitor Can be Used in AC Circuit.
" Do not use this type of capacitor on the primary power circuit.

■ When a capacitor is used at a high frequency, its self-heating poses a risk of thermal runaway (smoke generation, ignition).
Reduce the working voltage according to the example shown below. For capacitors used at a high frequency,
we recommend ECHU(X)/(C), ECWF(A)/(L), and ECWH(A)/(C)/(V).

<Example of working voltage reduction>

Capacitor: ECWF2154JA (250 V DC, 0.15 μF) Working frequency: 40 kHz (sine wave)
Allowable current value (entered in the delivery specification sheet): 2.0 Arms at 40 kHz

I 2.0
V= = = 53 Vrms
2πfC 2×3.14×40×103×0.15×10-6

According to the above equation, the AC working voltage (50 Hz or 60 Hz sine wave voltage) of ECWF(A) operating
at 40 kHz and 53 Vrms is calculated at 125 Vrms. This indicates that using ECWF(A) at a high frequency causes
its allowable voltage to drop. Note that this equation cannot be applied to a working voltage not in a sine waveform,
in which case please contact with us.

■ Make sure that the peak value of a pulse voltage (Vo-p) applied across both ends of the capacitor is equal to or lower
than the rated DC voltage. When the capacitor is used at a high frequency, its self-heating impairs the voltage
endurance characteristics and may lead to destruction of the capacitor. Measure the self-temperature rise value of
the capacitor and keep it equal to or lower than the specified value.

■ When a voltage higher than the rated voltage (allowable voltage) is applied to the capacitor as a result of unusual circuit
behavior caused by a failure of a different component, provide the capacitor with a means of safety protection.

Circuit design (working current)

■ Because of its low internal impedance, the capacitor carries an extremely large current flow, depending on the circuit
in which the capacitor is incorporated. Particularly, a high pulse current could flow through the capacitor when the
power supply is turned on or off. Make sure to check whether a high pulse current is flowing through the capacitor.
When the capacitor is used in a high-frequency circuit, such as an inverter circuit and switching circuit, a large current
may flow through the capacitor. Be careful in such cases.

■ A current flow exceeding the allowable current value may put the capacitor in a low-capacitance or open state or cause
the capacitor to generate heat. This may result in degraded voltage endurance performance or short circuit, thus leading
to smoke generation, ignition, etc. When using the capacitor, keep a capacitor current and temperature equal to or
lower than the allowable current value and self-temperature rise value specified in the delivery specification sheet.

■ It is necessary that the allowable current in breakdown mode be examined in terms of both pulse current (peak current)
and continuous current (RMS current). Confirm that both pulse current and continuous current are equal to or lower
than the allowable current value and then use the capacitor.

■ The frequency characteristics of the loss tangent (tanδ) of a capacitor vary depending on the type of a dielectric material
used. For this reason, a different allowable RMS current for a given working frequency shows depending on the product
type. When a capacitor is used at a high frequency, in particular, its loss tangent (tanδ) gets larger, a current flow
larger than the RMS current causes the capacitor to thermally runaway, which may lead to smoke generation or
ignition. Using the capacitor at a high frequency, therefore, requires special caution.
Please let us know the operating conditions for the capacitor to give you detailed advice.
Otherwise, keep the self-temperature rise value and surface temperature of the capacitor within the allowable range even
in the most unfavorable operation conditions.

■ When the capacitor is used in a switching circuit or snubber circuit, an instantaneous flow of large pulse current
causes the capacitor to locally generate heat. As a result, the film deposit scatters off, which may decreases the
capacitance of the capacitor or put the capacitor in an open state. This local heating may trigger a smoke
generation or ignition incident.

■ A pulse current value (10000 times) can be given as the product of dV/dt (V/µs) and a capacitance (µF) that are
specified in the delivery specification sheet. dV/dt is determined by the element structure.

■ When the capacitor is used in a large-current pulse circuit, keep the pulse current value within the allowable
pulse current (Ao-p). When applying a pulse current 10000 times or more, please contact us to discuss the
matter separately.

Circuit design (working temperature)

■ When the capacitor is used in an AC circuit, especially in a high-frequency circuit, the capacitor generates heat because
of the alternating current flowing therethrough. If this self-heating by the capacitor is excessive, the capacitor may
deteriorate or generate smoke or even ignite. Confirm the self-temperature rise value of the capacitor under the actual
service condition and use the capacitor at the self-temperature rise value equal to or lower than the specified
self-temperature rise value.
Measure the self-temperature rise value at room temperature in a windless condition. Refer to the delivery specification
sheet to check detailed information on the self-temperature rise value.
The specified self-temperature rise value varies depending on capacitor types. For more detailed information about
this matter, please contact us.

■ Because the working temperature range of a capacitor varies depending on dielectric materials (film types), the working
temperature range in which the capacitor can be used is specified for each capacitor type.
Note, however, that working temperature ranges listed in a catalog are surface temperatures which are different from
ambient temperatures. When using the capacitor, make sure that (ambient temperature + self-temperature rise value
(within the specified value)), that is, the surface temperature of the capacitor is within the working temperature range.

■ If the capacitor is used in a temperature condition above the working temperature range, its loss tangent (tan δ) gets
larger, inducing self-heating, which leads to exceeding the allowable value. As a result, the dielectric film deteriorates
which can cause a short circuit failure that may lead to smoke generation or ignition. When a heat dissipation plate
of a different component or resistance generating high heat is present near the capacitor, radiant heat from such an
element is applied to a part of the capacitor, in which case the temperature of the capacitor can exceed the working
temperature range and smoke generation or ignition may occur. Make sure to check the surface temperature of
elements that serve as a heat source.

Board design
■ The chip-type laminated film capacitor is mounted directly on the board without a lead interposed between the capacitor
and the board. Because of this configuration, if the thermal expansion coefficient of the capacitor and that of the board
differ widely, due to temperature change, etc., after chip mounting, it creates mechanical stress which is applied to the
capacitor. This deforms the capacitor body or cracks its soldered part, thus impairing its performance. Examine and
check the capacitor sufficiently before mounting it on the board. In particular, when using a ceramic board, please
contact us before mounting the capacitor.

■ Radiant heat from a heat-carrying component present near the capacitor may raise the temperature of the capacitor
above the category temperature range. Be careful in such cases. The chip-type capacitor does not have the outer
casing that the lead-type capacitor has. If an exposed part of a live component is present near the capacitor, a short
circuit may be created through the capacitor. Exercise special caution when determining the location of the capacitor.

■ If the land area of the capacitor is large, a tombstone phenomenon (chip rising) is likely to occur when the volume of
solder is not proper. Give each type of capacitor recommended land dimensions as much as possible, even though it
is disadvantageous from the viewpoint of ensuring the mounter has sufficient mount clearance.

Mounting conditions (chip-type) * Target capacitors: ECHU, ECWU, and ECPU

■ In the flow soldering process, a chip component is dipped in melted solder and resulting in a high temperature of the
component. The film capacitor has low resistance to heat. Avoid soldering it using the flow soldering process.
Applying heat directly to a capacitor from the lower surface of the printed board for repair work (using a hot plate, etc.)
may result in the degradation of the capacitor. This process must also be avoided.

■ Reflow soldering is a soldering method in which the proper amount of solder paste is deposited on the fitting land of
the surface-mounted board, the chip-type laminated film capacitor is placed on the land, and heat is applied to the
capacitor to melt the solder. We recommend the temperature profile shown in the following table for the reflow soldering
process. Note, however, that more than two reflow soldering cycles are not allowed and that the second reflow cycle
must be carried out after the capacitor temperature returns to normal temperature following the end of the first reflow
cycle.

■ Because the chip-type laminated film capacitor is not protected with an outer casing, an activator (halogen, etc.) in
solder paste may corrode the inner deposit electrode, which leads to the degradation of the capacitor characteristics,
such as a drop in the capacitance and an increase in the loss tangent (tanδ). Use solder paste with halogen content
of 0.1 wt%.

■ When cleaning the capacitor right after soldering it, make sure that its surface temperature is 60 ℃ or lower.

■ Maximum surface temperatures capacitors reach during the reflow process are as follows: 260 ℃ at ECHU(X)/(C),
250 ℃ at ECWU(X)/(C), and 240 ℃ at ECPU(A).
A surface temperature higher than these temperatures causes a capacitor problems with its appearance and electrical
characteristics, in which case the reliability of the capacitor cannot be guaranteed.

■ ECWU(X)/(C) and ECPU(A) are put in moisture proofing packages. Once the package is unsealed, the capacitor
absorbs moisture and its resistance to soldering heat drops. Check the note on the package that gives you the
instructions you should follow after unsealing the package. Specific instructions to follow after unsealing the package
are stated in the delivery specification sheet.

■ When using a solder iron, sufficiently preheat the board land with the iron tip and then carry out soldering work.
Do not put the iron tip directly on the body or electrode of a chip-type laminated film capacitor. Particularly, do not
bring the iron tip into contact with a side face (sectional surface) of the capacitor.
A hot solder iron coming in contact with such parts may cause the degradation of the capacitor characteristics,
such as lower insulation resistance and short circuit.

■ Avoid mounting a number of chip-type laminated film capacitors on a board using a solder iron. This process makes
temperature control difficult and may lead to the degradation of the capacitor characteristics. Avoid reusing a capacitor
(component) once removed with a solder iron.

■ Since the mounting heat-resistant temperature of the capacitor is low, avoid running the capacitor through an adhesive
curing oven for fixing chip components. In the oven, the capacitor is exposed to heat higher than the mounting
heat-resistant temperature, which causes the dielectric film to thermally shrink, thus causing a short failure.

■ When a film capacitor is used with chip components, mount the film capacitor and solder it after the adhesive has cured.

■ Do not perform reflow soldering for the capacitor. During reflow soldering, if heat higher than the mounting
heat-resistant temperature is applied to the capacitor, it could damage the exterior resin and impair the capacitor
characteristics.

Storage conditions
■ Do not store the capacitor in a place where moisture, dust, or corrosive gas (hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur
dioxide, ammonia, etc.) is present. It may impair the solderability of the external electrodes.

■ Avoid a high-temperature/high-humidity place and keep the capacitor in a place where the temperature/humidity condition
is controlled at 35 ℃ and 85%RH or lower.

■ A capacitor kept in storage for a long period will have oxidized leads surface resulting in lower solderability.
Make the storage period as short as possible (about 6 months).
