General Technical Information

1. General
Metallized plastic capacitors - briefly MK capacitors - are outstanding for their self-healing property. The dielectric of these capacitors consists of plastic films onto which metal
layers of approximately 0.02 to 0.05 f.lm are vacuum-deposited. The metallized films are
either of wound construction in tubular or flattened form or arranged in the more recent
stacked construction.
A hot metal spray technique is used for making electrical contact to the edges of the metallized winding. This ensures low loss and low inductance characteristics of the finished
capacitor.
MK capacitors comply with VDE specification 0560, part 1, and DIN standard 44110 as
well as with the standard sheets for the individual capacitor types.

2. Self-healing
The electric arc, which occurs with voltage breakdown of the dielectric, evaporates the
metallization in the area of the breakdown without impairing the dielectric. This results in
effectively isolating the region of the failure. The time necessary for the self-healing process is less than 10 f.lsec. Since only fractions of the energy stored in the capacitor are dissipated in the self-healing process, the potential drop remains accordingly low. The capacitor design ensures that self-healing processes occur only occasionally, even when the
parameters of continuous maximum voltage and maximum limittemperature apply; statistical measurements with MKL capacitors reveal that approx. 0.18 self-healing processes
are to be expected per year and per f.lF. The capacitance variation would therefore be less
thpn 1 % after 10 3 breakdowns. The self-healing characteristic is independent of maintaining the specified limit conditions, and can even be effective at low voltage ratings
yvhere electrochemical action takes presidence.

3. Types
Metallized plastic - MK - capacitors are distinguished by their dielectric materials:
MKL capacitors

comprising lacquer films (cellulose acetate) as dielectric and vacuum
deposited metal layers. In accordance with DIN 41379 these are
designated MKU1) capacitors.
.

MKT1) capacitors comprising polyethyleneterephthalate (trade name e.g. Hostaphan®,
Mylar®, etc.) as dielectric and vacuum-deposited metal layers.
MKC1) capacitors comprising polycarbonate (trade name Makrofol®) as dielectric and
vacuum-deposited metal layers.

7.2. Load duration
The load duration is the sum of:
• Working time
• Intermittent time
• Storage. testing and checking time at the user
• Transport time
and is identified by the 5th code letter (see table).

7.3. Relative failure rate
The relative failure rate is the ratio of the number of failed to the total number of
components and applies to the load duration indicated. It is the product of failure quota
and load duration.
The value quoted in the data sheets is an average value from investigations of a sufficiently
large number of components.
7.4. Failure quota
The failure quota is the ratio of failure rate and associated load duration and is indicated
in failures per 109 component hours. It is identified by the 4th code letter (see table in
section 7.2).
7.4.1. Failure criteria
For MK capacitors the following failure criteria are decisive.

General information
We provide taped versions with axial and radial leads tailored to automatic assembly of
equipment. Taping of MK capacitors with axial leads is based on IEC Publication 286-1;
taping of types with radial leads is done in accordance with the latest and probably final
state of the IEC Standard.

Taped MK capacitors with axial leads
MKL capacitors of types B 32110 and B 32112 up to a maximum diameter of 18.7 mm are
preferably taped for automatic assembly.

For a voltage deviation of Vpp < VRthe value ofthe permissible voltage rate of rise Vpp/Tcan
be multiplied by the factor VR/Vpp- The data of the nomogram must be considered in the
case of periodic pulses. See also the calculation example in the Chapter "General Technical
Information", para 5.2.6, Data Book "Metalized Plastic Capacitors", 1982/83.

AC power handling capability at higher frequencies
The maximum permissible peak voltage 0 for sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal voltages
(pulse, sawtooth, trapezoidal voltages) can be determined from the nomogram.
The nomogram is based on lOoC inherent temperature rise of the capacitor; this must be
considered during operation with regard to the permissible upper category temperature.

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

121

AI Electrolytic Capacitors
General technical data

I. Basic construction
Metals the oxides of which are capable of blocking the current flow in one direction and of
passing it in the other are called valve metals. This blocking effect can be utilized for the construction of electrolytic capacitors. Metals such as aluminum and tantalum have obtained
practical importance. The following details only deal with aluminum (AI) electrolytic capacitors, whereas tantalum electrolytic capacitors are to be found in Data Book (B 45 010).
The electrolytic capacitor has gained an exceptional position among the numerous kinds of
capacitors since its operating characteristic is partly based on electrochemical processes. In
order to understand its properties, a closer consideration of its design seems advisable.
Generally, each capacitor consists of two electrically conducting layers. A dielectric may be
put in between. The aluminum electrolytic capacitor as well is always based on these 3 components. However, the difference to all other capacitor types consists in their conductive
liquid, the operating electrolyte, forming one electrode (the cathode) instead of the otherwise used metal layer. As counter electrode (anode) serves an aluminum body (in most cases
an aluminum foil resulting from the winding method which is commonly used today). By
means of electrolytic processes an aluminum oxide film (the dielectric) is generated on the
surface ofthe aluminum body. The aluminum that has not been exploited for oxidation (starting metal) results in forming the necessary positive layer.
The advantages of electrolytic capacitors that have caused their widespread application are
their high capacitance per unit volume (high capacitance values at low space requirements).
which permits the production of capacitors up to 1 Farad, and on the other hand the reasonable price in proportion to its capacitance value.
Like other capacitors, the capacitance is directly proportional to the effective surface and inversely proportional to the distance of both layers, given for electrolytic capacitors by the
thickness of the oxide film. The aluminum oxide has the particular advantage over other
dielectrics that it is not only remarkably thinner but also features high dielectric strength. Its
thickness can be fitted exactly to the operating conditions of the capacitor.
The aluminum oxide film is generated by anodic oxidation (anodization). The thickness of the
film grows practically proportionally to the applied forming voltage. For safety reasons, the
final forming voltage is chosen higher than the rated or peak voltage values.
The film thickness ist approx. 0.0012 ~m per Volt, i.e. even with high voltage capacitors, a dis. tance of both layers of only approx. 0.7 ~m can be expected; thus, the high capacitance per
unit volume is partly explained. (The minimum thickness of a paper dielectric for example is
6 to 8 ~m). A further factor is given by the electrode surface being many times enlarged because of an electrochemical etching process (see fig. 1). Since one ofthe layers of electrolytic
capacitors is liquid (operation electrolyte), its surface ideally fits to the anode.
During the anodization of the etched foil, the fine etching pits partially incrust and that the
moreJhe higher the forming voltage and thus the film thickness is. With different etching processes the magnitude of the pores can be matched to the required voltage. The relative
dielectric constant of the aluminum oxide of about lOis comparatively high. The permissible
operating field strength is approx. 800 MVjm thus being extremely high.

123

AI Electrolytic Capacitors
General technical data

II. Terms, technical data, explanations
All data given in the following including numerical values, is of general importance. To certain
types often better values apply which are given on the data sheetforthe appropriate type.

1. Plain and etched
Because of their small dimensions, aluminum electrolytic capacitors with etched, and surface enlarged foils are today nearly exclusively required. Electrolytic capacitors with nonetched foils (plain) partly feature better electrical ratings but are on the other hand considerably larger. They are only used for particular applications; their percentage share permanently decreases, so that the complete suspension of this production line will be only a question of
time. The specifications existing as yet contain a reference saying that these capacitors are
not to be used for new equipment.

2. Polarized and non-polarized
The electrolytic capacitor designed as described above, consisting of an anodized aluminum
foil on which the dielectric film is applied, a second aluminum foil and the electrolyte being
between both foils, can only function correctly when the positive pole is connected to the anodized aluminum foil (anode) and the negative pole to the other (cathode). A reversed polarization would cause an electrolytic process and a dielectric film would be generated on the
cathode foil as well as on the anode. Thus, high internal heating and gas formation would arise
which could possibly destroy the capacitor. The total capacitance would also be reduced by
the increasing thickness of the oxide film which reduces the capacitance of the cathode in
series with the capacitance of the anode.
Due to its basic design the electrolytic capacitor is only suitable for dc voltage applications,
since this direct voltage is a waveform voltage, i.e. a direct voltage with a superimposed alternating voltage and the positive pole connected to the anode. This is understood as the polarized version, which is su ita ble for most appl i catio ns. The req u ireme nt of correct pol arizi ng ofthe
polarized capacitor types is valid with the only exception that incorrect polarization is permitted up to 2 V, since the damaging anodization of the cathode as described above only begins
to rise at this range. (The cathode foil is covered by an air-oxide layer which corresponds to an
anodically generated layer with a blocking voltage of about 2 V.)
Non-polarized (bipolar) electrolytic capacitors are also available. In addition to the anode foil
they also have a second foil which is anodized during the production process and its capacitance value is of the same range as that of the anode. This construction allows for operation at
direct voltage ratings and either polarization, as well as at pure alternating voltage ratings.
Since the latter causes inherent heating, the alternating voltage must be kept considerably
below the direct voltage rating. Due to series-connection of both equal capacitance parts the
total capacitance amounts only to half the individual capacitance values. A non-polarized
electrolytic capacitor compared with a polarized one, needs therefore up to twice the volume
forthe same total capacitance at the same construction.

125

AI Electrolytic Capacitors
General technical data

ifications also include the maximum permissible dimensions in correlation with capacitance
and rated voltage. In recent specifications capacitance ratings in accordance with the E3 or
E6 series are g·iven. The rated voltage values are standardized according to the R 5 series,
some exception& according to requirements.
.
The number ofthe tYPEl specification, ifthere is any, is given on the individual data stJeets. The
capacitors arEl mar~ed with this number as well, if allowed for by the case size. If there is no
type specification available (as yet), the capacitors are marked with the number ofthe fundamental specification. The capacitance/voltage range given on the data sreets is not always
equal to th~t of the type specifications. It is more or less comprehensive, as required.
If necessary, the specifications given by DIN sheets will be transferred to the Siemens data
sheets for completio~.
.
A DIN specification for non-polarized electrolytic capacitors is not available, siflpethere is only little demand for these types. Photoflash electrolytic capacitors ar~ produced in large
quantities, how'ever, they are at present not subject to standardization due to plurality of
types requested.

ings; the actuql demand is covered.
5.2 Category voltage Vc
The category voltage Vc i.s the voltage which may be appiied continuously to a capacitor in
use at its upper pateg9rytemperature. Within a c~rtain limit, the category voltage depends on
t.he ambient tempe·rature.
For aluminum electrolytic capacitors with an upper temperature limit of 85° C (185° Fl, for
several Siemens electrolytic capacitors even up to 105° C (221 ° F), the category voltage may
be equal to the rated voltage. For electrolytic r::apacitors with a higher maximum temperature
a voltage derating is necessary (see individ~al types).
5.3 Operating voltage Vop
All unfavorable operating conditions (e.g, possible overvoltage of mains, unfavorable tolerances of the transformation ratio of mains 'transformers in the device, repeated overvoltage
for 1 minute at switching-on, high ambie~tt!'lmperatures etc.) have to betaken into account in
orderto determine the voltage intended for contlnuous i.e. the operating voltage, which is not
allowed to exceed the category voltage. O'per!ltion below the category voltcwe is permitted.
By this derating important functions redjJcing lhe service life of the electrolytic capacitor will
be delayed. However, other factors - in par~icular at higher temperatures - not depending on
the operating voltage Vop (for instanc;e diffusion processes or material fatigue) will also take
decisive influence. Therefore the advantages to be expected for servlqe life due to derating
can only partly be utilized. Data on the' increase of service life due to derating is given in
para.7.6.

5.7.3 Capacitance dependence on the temperature
The capacitance of an electrolytic capacitor is not a constant magnitude that remains unchanged under all operating conditions. The temperature is of great influence. The viscosity
ofthe electrolyte increases at decreasing temperatures thus reducing its conductivity. A typical behavior is shown in fig. 3, where the capacitance at 20° Cj68° F is equal to 1.

The lower the rated voltage and the more the foils are roughened at otherwise the same conditions the steeper is the run ofthe characteristic curves. The favorable flat shape ofthe curve
shown in fig. 3 has been obtained by using special electrolytes, and thus the capacitors are
capable of operation even at temperatures far below zero. The shape of the curves is subject
to strong variations depending on whether the temperature dependence of the ac or dc
capacitance is determined, A dc capacitance attains a more favorable and thus a flatter shape
of the curve,
5,7,4 Capacitance dependence on frequency
The effective capacitance depends in addition to the temperature also on the measuring frequency. It decreases with increasing frequency, If there is no particular data in the individual

Before the output measurement takes place that serves for judging the capacitors or even for
comparison of different products, a re-anodization is necessary in order to obtain the same
starting conditions. For this aim the capacitors must be applied to the rated voltage via a
series resistance of about 100 n for UR ~ 100 V and about 1000 n for UR > 100 V and afterwards stored for 12 to 48 hours without voltage at 15 to 35° C (59 to 95° F). The leakage current
measuring should take place within this period of storage. As far as the capacitors meet the
leakage current requirements without a re-anodization process, itcan be omitted.

5.11.6 Leakage current behavior at voltage-free storage
The oxide film can be affected during voltage-free storage (especially at high storage temperatures). Since no leakage current flows, carrying oxygen ions to the anode, a regeneration of
the film is impossible. Consequently, on application of voltage after a storage period, the
leakage current will at first increase, however, with the increasing oxide film will gradually decrease to a normal amount.
The capacitors can be stored without voltage for at least 1 year without any reduction of their
reliability (for storage temperatures see para. 6.3). They can be operated at rated voltage directly afterwards (the re-anodization according to para. 5.11.5 is therefore not a prerequisite
forthe operation ofthe capacitors). However, during the first minutes ofthe switching-on period the current values can be up to 100 times higher. This is to be taken into consideration
when designing the circuit.

5.12 Coupling impedance
The coupling impedance ZK of multiple electrolytic capacitors indicates the coupling of partial capacitances (see DIN 41328, sheet 1).

5.13 Dielectric strength of the insulating sleeve
Certain types of electrolytic capacitors are provided with insulation sleeves. The dielectric
strength ofthese electrolytic capacitors is greater than 500 V dc.

6. Climatic conditions
The climatic stress on the aluminum electrolytic capacitor has to be limited (partly for reliability reasons and partly due to temperature dependence of the electric parameters). Minimum
and maximum temperature limits are most important climatic conditions for the aluminum
electrolytic capacitor. Furthermore, the arising humidity stress takes influence as well. Relevant data is also coded in the climatic category (IEC). (see para. 6.6).

141

AI Electrolytic Capacitors
General technical data

6.4 Lower storage temperature
The DIN specifications for aluminum electrolytic capacitors coordinate a respective lower
storage temperature with the lower temperature limit. Siemens aluminum electrolytic capacitors principally resist to the lowest of these lower storage temperatures, i.e. - 65° C/ - 85° F,
without being damaged.

6.5 Humidity stress
It has to be distinguished between aluminum electrolytic capacitors which have been especially protected against infiltrating humidity by special constructive measures (e.g. hermetically sealed case), and such versions with humidity protection sufficient for usual applications. The especially humidity resistant versions allow dew precipitation and are coded "C"
and "D", respectively, for the climatic category (IEC). DIN specifications provide the coding
"F" for standard versions, according to which no dew precipitation should occur. The respective Siemens aluminum electrolytic capacitors, however, also comply with the test conditions
of the humidity category "E", according to which a rare and minor dew precipitation, as often
canriot be avoided (e.g. at a short opening of the outdoors installed equipment) is permissible.
6.6 Climatic categories
For the discription of the capacitor, uncoded temperature and humidity indications are too
complicated. The IEC publications use the so-called IEC climatic categories. On the individual
data sheets both DIN and IEC indications are quoted. The climatic category also appears on
the electrolyte capacitor legend, as far as necessary and possible.

6.6.1 DIN climatic categories
According to DIN 40040 for aluminum electrolytic capacitors the climatic categories consist
of three code letters. The first indicates the lower temperature limit, the second the upper
temperature limit and the third the permitted humidity.

7.3 Failure rate
The failure rate indicates the relation between the number of failed components and theirtotal number, valid only for the appropriate required load duration. It is generally indicated in
per cent.

7.4 Relative failure rate
The relative failure rate is the failure rate related to the load duration. It indicates the number
offailures per component and time unit (failure per component hour).

7.4.1 Failure quota (f i t)
The failure quota is principally anotherfailure rate. It will, however, be indicated in failures per
109 component hours and helps to find the reliability prognosis in the usual failure rate calculation. In Anglo-American areas the failure quota is indicated as fit (failure in time).
During usual application an aluminum electrolytic capacitor generally will not be operated up
to its maximum load limit. Long years of practice have shown that Siemens aluminum electrolytic capacitors have an experience guiding value of 20 fit at 50% load and less than 40°C
(104° F) ambient temperature. For deviating load and temperature conditions see conversion
factors as listed below:

7.6 Operational life
The operational life indicates the period of time until a determined failure rate at defined failure criteria is reached. To forecast the expectable operational life, MIL-STD 690 8 regulations with a confidence coefficient of 60 % are used.
At temperatures above 40° C (1 04° F) up tothe upper temperature limit at 10 K temperature increase only one half of the normal operational life can be expected, based on a constant failure rate.
The operational life data indicated on the specific data sheet has been determined for Siemens aluminum electrolytic capacitors under these conditions. This data is based on a load at
full category voltage Uc . As explained in para 5.3 the operational life increases at reduced
voltage load. Figure 10 shows typical values ofthe operational life depending on the operating
voltage. If specific data applies to special types the appropriate data sheet gives the necessary information.

General technical data

8.1 Working position oftubular case aluminum electrolytic capacitors
When electrolytic capacitors are operated, a leakage current steadily flows, and the dielectric
film regenerates because of the electrolytic refining process, but on the other hand the electrolyte causes the generation of hydrogen. Thus, a slow pressure rise in the capacitor is
caused. By means of suitable overpressure protectors it has been achieved thatthe gas, when
attaining a certain pressure, can be removed.
In order to avoid that during the "removing" a disturbing quantity of the electrolyte emerges,
the working positions as illustrated in DIN specifications 41248, 41250, 41238 are recommended. They are aimed at not arranging the valves downward.
Examplefrom DIN 41238:

..900

_

.. __.__

~_---'-

_ _ _ _. L -_ _ _ _

~_----'

Permissible working position range

When used horizontally the valve shall be in "12 o'clock position".
When the pressure emerges it may happen that little electrolyte traces become visible in the
vicinity of the valve. But this doesn't mean any disturbance of the capacitor function.
The optimum working position is the vertical, particularly when the capacitors are to be
mounted at their terminals (solder peaks) oron the threaded stud or socket.
It must, however, be emphasized that a deviating working position does not damage the
aluminum electrolytic capacitor. In this case a minor contamination of the electrolyte cannot
be excluded if the overpressure protector operates.
8.2 Resistance to vibration
Unless otherwise stated on the individual data sheets, the DIN specification 40046, sheet 8,
partial test B 1 with 5 g, and lEe publication 68-2-6 applies:
Duration of endurance conditioning: 1.5 hours
Frequencerange:
10to55Hz
Displacement amplitude:
0.35 mm
8.3 Cleaning agents
Halogenated hydrocarbons can be of harmful influence when they directly act upon aluminum electrolytic capacitors. When cleaning printed circuit boards, after the soldering of components, or removing the remainders of the fluxing agents by means of such solvents, care
should be taken that the electrolytic capacitors don't get in direct touch with the cleaning
agent. If wetting of the electrolytic capacitors cannot be avoided, halogen-free solvents (for
examples refer to page 43) are to be used in order to exclude any damage of the electrolytic
capacitor.

The superimposed alternating voltage Vac is the rms alternating voltage that may be
applied to a capacitor in addition to a direct voltage. The sum of the direct voltage and
the peak value of the superimposed alternating voltage shall not exceed the category
voltage Ve (see para. 7.3.). The maximum alternating voltage Vac at rated temperature {fR

General Technical Information

9. Self inductance Ls
Self resonance"
At high frequencies, STYROFLEX and polypropylene capacitors are subject to self resonances caused by the self inductance. The self resonance may disturb the design of
circuits. The self inductance is influenced by the number of supply lines to the electrodes
and by the winding construction. All capacitors described here, are of low inductance
due to bifilar layer currents in accordance with DIN 41380, part 3 and part 4 (Febr. 1978),
para. 2.3.2.4. or because of face-contacting. If not otherwise stated,
max. 1 nH per 1 mm lead or capacitor length
is the typical value of the self inductance.
The self inductance for the capacitors can be reduced by special measures. Particularly
low values are characteristic for capacitors with face contacts. The frequency range of
the self resonance versus capacitance is illustrated in the following diagram:

10. Screening
As far as the outer layer of the capacitor is grounded, it also performs screening effects.
This applies to unprotected capacitors as well. as to those in metal cases where the outer
layer is connected to the metal case. The outer layer connection (and possibly the metal
case) is marked by a colored ring or a symbol.
Capacitors enclosed in a metal case, that is physically not connected to the layer, have
a screening capacitance between the cases grounded in most cases and the identified
layer. This must be accounted for in the design of circuits.
227

General Technical Information

15. Removal of soldering agents
The films of unprotected STYROFLEX capacitors can be attacked by some cleaning
agents used to remove the soldering agent. It is, therefore, recommended to use protected or sealed STYROFLEX capacitors, when a special cleaning is necessary.
Polypropylene capacitors are resistant to those cleaning agents which are based on
hydrocarbon halides. Su'ch agents are trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, and 1,1,1
trichlorothene (trade name Chlorothene, Mecloran etc.); furthermore, trifluorine-trichlorothene (trade name Freon, Frigen, Kaltron, Arklone, Flugene, etc.) purely, or mixed with
alcohol or other solvents.

229

General Technical Information

The reference reliability is the reliability for a particularly defined load (reference load).
In para. 3.4. of the DIN specification mentioned, the following parameters are quoted
for the reference load: e. g.
40 °Cj1 04 of
65%

ambient temperature:
relative humidity:

where appendix 2 of the DIN specification 40040, page 7, should be taken into consideration. This specification includes graphs for a reduced relative humidity versus temperatures above room temperature.
The failure quota (para. 16.3.) and the load duration (para. 16.4.) are quoted as value
for the reference reliability.
Our data sheets, generally, contain data on the reference reliability at rated voltage UR and
at the low voltage of 12 V.

16.3. Failure quota
The failure quota means:
Failures in 10 9 component hours for an adequately large batch at rated load and a defined
load duration (see para. 16.4.). The unit applied is "fit" (failure in time 1O-9 /h).
The failure quota is coded in the first code letter after the climatic category, i. e. in the
4th code letter.

231

General Technical Information

17. Additional sealed assembly of unprotected capacitors
Even traces of humidity can affect the capacitance of STYROFLEX capacitors. Polypropylene capacitors are insensitive in this respect. In this context capacitors are only understood as sealed, when they are soldered or welded in metal, glass, or ceramic cases.
Organic materials as sealing agents or the use of stuffing bushes for rotatable axes only
provide insufficient sealing. Despite the sealed assembly, often traces of water vapor
existing in the capacitor and in the case are sufficient to condense after cooling below
the dew point. Therefore, the variations of capacitance or insulation resistance could
possibly be higher than those of unprotected capacitors.
For a common assembly of capacitors and other components in one case, the mutual
influences should be taken into account. Chemical separations can affect or impair the
delicate dielectric. Assemblies should therefore be made only in special cases after their
compatibility has carefully been tested. Filters and circuits should be adjusted after
having been assembled.

18. Tests
18.1. Material test
All materials necessary for the production of capacitors are subject to cycle-checking
with regard to their electrical and mechanical characteristics. The yielded test values
include, as a released value, a certain safety range compared to the guaranteed values.

18.2. Final test
Detailed inspection
Capacitance tolerance and voltage resistance of the capacitors are checked. To capacitors
of medium climatic requirements a leakage test is performed, meeting the DIN 40046,
sheet 15, test Q, requirements. Further tests are provided for capacitors with particular
applications.

Random test
Dissipation factor, insulation resistance and mechanical performance are tested by
method of random sampling.

18.3. Quality inspection
A quality test field being independent of the manufacturing department continually tests
selected production samples. The measurements of the detailed inspection and random
sampling are checked; the following properties are additionally tested:
Resistance to climatic conditions
Operational reliability in endurance tests
Solderability

18.4. Acceptance test
For an acceptance test and the measurement of the capacitance refer to para 5.1.
A capacitor test at test voltage in accordance with DIN 41380, part 3, para. 5.4.2. and
part 4, para. 5.3.2. may be performed by the customer only once.

comprising a polypropylene dielectric as KP capacitors.
The ordering code examples on page 54 and on the individual data sheets are similar
to those of DIN 41380, part 3 and 4, para. 9.

235

General Technical Information

Since the 15 digits available are insufficient for differing all the capacitor characteristics the letters intended for the revision status designation are divided into 3 groups:
A to H; J to Rand S to Z
Components with the same B-number and a revision status between A and H are related
to components of the revision status J to R, but they are generally not interchangeable.
The group S to Z is intended to mark special versions. Detailed data is given for the
individual types.

Example: The height of a capacitor has been shortened from 40 to 30 mm at unchanged shape and electrical data. The capacitor with the larger dimensions was marked
with the revision status code letter A. whereas the smaller size is designated with B.
A can be replaced by B, but usually not vice versa.
Despite their unimportance for most users, these designations should be given, since
a certain percentage of uncommon application excludes the above mentioned interchange. In these cases the changed code letter causes the person who attends the
collecting card or the reviser of the production planning, to check whether the change
is acceptable or not.
Important component variations regarding construction or electrical properties which
exclude the exchange of former types by new ones, are principally performed by a completely changed designation and not only by a changed revision status code letter.
A certain period of time is necessary to perform the change of the revision status. After
this period of time which is often indicated on the data sheets, the change has been
completed, so that components in accordance with the former revision status are no
longer available. If components of the former revision status are ordered, automatically
those of the new one will be delivered.

22.4. Digit 8 (rated voltage)
The code figures for capacitor voltage ratings are not systematized. The meaning of the
rated voltage code figures is indicated on the individual data sheets.

22.5. Digits 9 to 14 (rated capacitance and tolerance)
When ordering capacitors it is necessary to code the desired rated capacitance as well
as the appropriate tolerance values.
a) The value will be converted into the form a Xl Ob pF; the ~F values must be converted
into the basic unit "pF". The factor a is the unchanged figure sequence of the value,
with the decimal comma (decimal point) behind the second figure. The exponent b
of the multiplier lOb is clearly specified by the position of the decimal comma (decimal
point) and the basic unit "pF", and can admit values from 0 to 9. The lowest value to be
represented is therefore 0,01 pF, the highest 99,990 ~F.
b) The 2 figures before the comma (point) are contained in the 9th and 10th digit; thus
the decimal comma (decimal point) must always be imagined as being behind digit 10.
c) The exponent b which designates the number of naughts of the multiplier (see the
following code table for capacitance values) is the code number in digit position 11.
d) 2 figures max. behind the decimal comma (decimal point) are contained in digit
position 13 and 14.

23.1. Writing of part numbers
The SN standard 01001, November 1977, allows abbreviated writing of Siemens part
numbers (ordering codes). Many types, however, are also known under their unabbreviated part number.
The following examples will explain both identical writing methods which can occur for
one component.
We don't want to bother our clients with the writing rules for our part numbers. When
ordering, please write the part numbers in the same way as listed in our data books,
data sheets, or SCS List.
It is understood that both writing methods are accepted. Please be understanding when
you have ordered "un abbreviated" and receive "abbreviated".

Tubular, axial-leaded capacitor with plastic-sealed face ends; standard version.
Apart from general applications the capacitor can be used at temperatures between -25 and +85°C
(-13 and 185°F) as resonant circuit capacitor in RF and IF filters because of its low dissipation factor
and a sufficiently high stability. Negative temperature coefficient. Increased protection against
humidity or chemical effects is obtained by the plastic-sealed face ends. Due to an upper
category temperature of 85°C (185°F), the capacitor is particularly suitable for use in printed
ci rcuits.

Multilayer Capacitors

1. Introduction
Owing to special production methods thin layers can be manufactured from the ceramic materials. These layers are used to design capacitors of highly reliable mechanical and electrical properties. The ceramic multilayer capacitors consist of a monolithic ceramic block into
which the capacitor electrodes are sintered comblike. At the front ends of the ceramic block
the individual metal layers appear at the surface Where they are joined by sintered metal
layers. Oxide and titanate ceramic are used as dielectric materials. Depending on requirements the four materials COG (NPO), BX, X7R, and Z5U ar~ available.
2. Capacitor construction
The capacitance depends on the following parameters:
• dielectric material
• dielectric thickness
• effective area
To increase the volume capacitance you can
• raise the dielectric constants
• increase the effective area
• reduce the dielectric thickness
With multilayer ceramic capacitors two of these possibilities have been taken into account:
• increase the active areas by connecting individual layers in parallel
• reduce the dielectric thickness by appropriate production methods
Multilayer capacitors are available as:
• chips
• caps
2.1 Chips
Chips are available without leads for direct soldering or cementing into film circuits. Their insignificant self-inductance causes a very high self-resonance. - Chip capacitors are particuCeramic
larly suitable for high frequency circuits.

9. Mounting instructions for chips and caps
Common mounting methods are:
• flow soldering
• reflow soldering
• cementing
9.1. Flow soldering
The components are sticked onto the thick film substrate (glass, ceramic) or onto the etched P·CB (glass fiber) by a silicone adhesive. The adhesive may be applied by means of silk
screening. With this process, care must be taken of the contacting areas not to be covered
by the adhesive.
The components are pressed onto the substrate. An excellent adherence is ensured by a
glue depth of 60 to 80 jlm. This amount will also not contaminate the contacting areas while
the contacting pressure is applied. Soldering can be effected by flow or dip s,?ldering. An
Sn-Po alloy next to the eutecticum with an Ag additive of 3.5 to 4% has proved successful
as a solder (e.g. Solldamoll 170 Sn/PB/Ag: 60/35/4). The solder bath temperature should
amount to (225 ± 10) "C; a maximum soldering time of 5 seconds is permitted. A nonactivated 45% resin dissolved in a 55% ethyl alcohol with glycerin additive serves as an appropriate flux. The flux remainders should be removed after the components have been soldered. Cleaning baths containing isopropyl alcohol are suitable for this process.
9.2. Reflow soldering
The solder powder together with a flux is applied as paste onto the PCB. This process ist
appropriately carried out with silk screening. The coating thickness should thereby amount
to approximately 80 jlm.
The equipped substrates are best heated in a continuous-heating or reflow furnace. In such
furnaces, the objects are gradually heated to 200 "C. A minimum soldering time has to be
kept in order to avoid dry joints. The maximum soldering time ist 5 seconds. This period diminishes a possible unalloying which is due to the tin's high absorptive power on silver. Using
silver-palladium contacts also contributes to prevent unalloying of the contacts, and it additionally prolongs the shelf live. However, a sulfurous atmosphere is to be avoided since it
would generate silver sulfide impairing the solderability of the chips. An appropriate solder
would be Sn/Pb/Ag (60%/36%/4% or 60%/38%/2%). The melting points of the solders lie
at 183 "C or 189 "C. The flux should be organiC and of medium activity.
The objects are to be cleaned by a mild agent or in an ultrasonic bath.
9.3. Cementing
A 'silver-bearing two-component expoxy resin adhesive is suitable for cementing chips.
Such adhesives may be applied by means of dosing silk screen processes or stamping machines. The duration of the curing process depends on the curing temperatures and lasts
between 1 minute and 12 hours.

SIBATIT® 50000 Capacitors

1. Introduction
The development of a special ceramic material- SIBATIT 50000 - also offered the possibility to produce capacitors featuring various improvements, compared to the usual single-layer
surface barrier layer ceramic capacitors.
The capacitance is produced by internal dielectric barrier layers on the surface of the
semiconducting ceramic material.
With usual single-layer capacitors, these barrier layers are generated at the outer
surfaces of the ceramic body. However, as those areas are highly sensitive they require a
rugged protective encapsulation. And moreover, those capacitors can only be produced as
disc-types.
2. Capacitor construction
SIBATIT 50000 capacitors are produced from a ceramic tube which has a rectangular
cross-section. This design offers particularly favorable space utilization on PCBs or volume
efficiency for circuits.
Internal construction
With SIBATIT 50000 capacitors, the barrier layers are built up in the boundaries of the individual barium titanate grains, i. e. within the capacitor body. In this way material with very
thin dielectric layers is obtained. Those layers may repeatedly be connected in parallel and
in series with the conductive zones of the ceramic grains. Altogether this material features
an outstanding permittivity (dielectric constant) £ of approx. 50000.

6. Technical explanation
Due to their polarity independence SIBATIT 50000 capacitors are suitable for circuits operating with voltage reversal of RF ac voltages, e. g. coupling, filter, and RFI suppression
capacitors.
SIBATIT 50000 also has a particularly high long-term capacitance stability. The capacitance decrease amounts to 2% per time decade which is far below the usual values of
comparable capacitors.

MKV and MKP Capacitors
General Technical Information

MKV capacitors
are self-healing capacitors comprising tubular mineral oil impregnated low-loss plastic film
windings as dielectric and vacuum deposited regenerating paper layers. This paper, used as
carrier, does not lie within the electric field. MKV capacitors are particularly suitable for use at
high reactive load, i.e. at high capacitance ratings or higher frequencies.
MKP capacitors
are self-healing capacitors comprising tubular low-loss plastic film windings as dielectric and
vacuum deposited metal layers. MKP capacitors are preferably used at 50 Hz and voltage ratings 4P to 450 Vac.

2. Self-healing capability
Heavy current capacitors, which were subjectto a final production test at 2.15 times the rated
voltage, exhibit only few breakdowns during operation. The physical appearance of the area
of isolation resulting from the breakdown, gives rise to the assumption that the breakdowns
wera caused by overvoltages or voltage peaks.

Figure 1
Self·healing procedure

In heavy current supplies, even in mains, voltage peaks up to 3 times the rated supply voltage
still frequently occur. These voltage peaks mostly result from switching operations with magnetic parts. Locations of breakdown are weak points, such as included conducting parts,
holes in the dielectric, or conductive contaminations, which could not be eliminated at the
burnout during the production process.
From oscillograms ofthe voltage across the capacitor during a breakdown, its characteristics
can be derived:

Duration lH
1 to 10 Ilsec
Energy conversion /:;. W
1 to 100 mWsec
Capacitance variation /:;.C: approx. 100 nF

/:;.w=

C· UD' /:;.U

The breakdown is running in a current-limiting way; this means that the breakdown current is
automatically interrupted after a few microseconds without the necessity of making the point
of breakdown dead.

4.1.2. Capacitance drift
In addition to reversible changes the capacitance is also subjectto irreversible changes, summarized under the term "capacitance drift". This is the sum of all time-dependent irreversible
changes ofthe capacitance during the whole operational life. The capacitance variation is indicated in % ofthe value at delivery. (Typical value :!:~ %.)

4.2.1. M P capacitors for dc application
Rated voltage UR
The rated voltage UR is that dc voltage which is indicated on the capacitor. The rated voltage
refers to an ambient temperature of 40° Cll 04° F and serves as base for determining the dielectric design (definition in accordance with DIN 41180).
At continuous operation the capacitor may be loaded with voltages up to the rated voltage
within the permitted climatic category and taking the following limit conditions into consideration.
361

MKV and MKP Capacitors
General Technical Information

Peak voltage Up
The peak voltage Up is the maximum peak voltage, which may be applied to the capacitor for
intermittent operation and only occasionally, e.g. at switching processes.
Detailed data are to be found on the data sheets.
Dielectric strength, user's test
The capacitors are designed such that the tests specified in the individual publications may
be carried out once by the user without quality reduction.

4.2.2. MKP capacitors for ac application
Rated voltage UR
The rated voltage UR is the rms value of the sinusoidal alternating voltage, which is indicated
on the capacitor. The rated voltage refers to the maximum temperature limit.
At the nominal kind of operation (continuous or intermittent operation, DB or AB) and at a
temperature up to the maximum capacitor temperature Smax .. the capacitors may be operated as follows:
with alternating voltage of 1.1 times the rated voltage
with alternating current of 1.3 times the current, which flows through the capacitor at
rated sinusoidal voltage and rated frequency.

4.3. Insulation
4.3.1. Self-discharge time constant
The insulation terminal to terminal is indicated according to DIN 41180 as self-discharge time
constant
T = Ris X C (measured in M!2 x jlF = s).
The insulation resistance is the ratio of dc voltage applied to the current that flows after a certain period oftime.
The current flowing after having applied a constant dc voltage is temperature, voltage and
time dependent. It is to be understood as the combined charging, self-recharging and
leakage current (definition in accordance with VDE 0560, part 1, § 11). In order to determine
the limit values the following conditions are to be met. The current is measured 1 minute after
the measuring voltage has been applied at (20 ± 1)° C/(68 ± 1.8)° F and a relative humidity of
less than 65%. Standard voltage is 100 V.

Minimum values as to VDE 0560 for ac capacitors are not required.
4.3.2. Insulation terminal to case
In case of double-pole, insulated capacitors the average value at delivery of the insulation resistance between the short-circuited terminals and the case amounts to 10 G!2 (measured at
100Vdc,20°C/68°F, ~ 65% relative humidity).

5. Internal heating
When ac capacitors are used, the generated power dissipation results in internal heating. The
arising temperature conditions are difficult to be determined in advance (influence of ambienttemperature and special cooling conditions, radiation and heat conduction). In cases of
doubt, the user should make a type test in order to determine whether the limit temperature
indicated upon the capacitor surface has been exceeded or not.
365

MKV and MKP Capacitors
General Technical Information

For capacitors for power electronics, the frequency-dependent dissipation factor is indicated
on the individual sheets as follows:
tan 8 = (tan 8diel

+ const.

x f)

The dissipation factor ofthe polypropylene dielectric is practically constant and independent
oftemperature throughout the frequency range up to 100 kHz:
tan 8diel ~ 2 X 10- 4

5.3. Equivalent series resistance RESR
The value given in the individual sheets indicates the ohmic part of the equivalent series
resistance at resonant frequency. The data are referred to 8am b = 25° C/77° F and were derived from measurements.

5.4. Power loss
The power loss (Pv) is calculated from the reactive power (N) and the dissipation factor for sinusoidal voltages

Pv

=

N x tan 8.

Forthe non-sinusoidal voltages the frequency-dependent dissipation factor has already to be
included into the Fourier analysis
Pv=LVX Nv xtan8v=2nCx Lvx U~x fvxtan8(fv)
For every capacitor for power electronics the individual data sheets contain the frequency dependent dissipation factor and the thermal resistance Rth.
The user can thus determine the dissipation and the resulting temperature increase A8with
the aid of Fourier's analysis: A8 = Pv . Rth. From this temperature increase and the ambient
temperature 8am b, the dielectric temperature 8diel can be derived as:
9diel

=

9am b

+ A 9 = 85° C/185° F.

In order to maintain the given operational reliability, the temperature ofthe dielectric is not allowed to exceed 85°C/185° F.
In every other event, particularly in cases of doubt, we will gladly carry out the calculations for
our customers. In this case, it is requested to return an answered questionnaire (see page46).

5.5. Maximum current 1max.
Apart from the "thermal limit" for the current carrying capacity, reSUlting from Fourier's
analysis as described in para 5.1. and 5.4., another current limit given by the design of current
paths, line cross-sections and connecting elements has to be taken into account. Since this
limit value is to be understood as an independent value, the individual data sheets also offer
the permitted current value (Imax.).

In figure 9, the permissible frequencies are illustrated versus ambient temperature for the
rated voltage and the charge exchange time taken as parameter (30,100, 300 ~s) as well as for
sine voltages.

6. Ambienttemperature Bamb
In case of natural cooling the capacitors are cooled by natural air circulation and heat dissipation. The ambient temperature (Samb) is measured in a distance of 30 cm and at 213 ofthe capacitor height. The permissible load is reduced when other components around the capacitor
cause a temperature rise.

6.1. Maximum limit temperature Smax
The maximum temperature Smax is that temperature occurring in the worst case at the hottest
spot of the capacitor surface including temperature rise at rated load (definition in accordance with VDE 0560, part 1, § 12).

7. Overload protection
MP and MKV capacitors always have an excess pressure make-and-break fuse, which prevents the capacitor from being blown up, resulting from undue overload or critical phases at
the end of its service life. This requirement cannot be met by overcurrent protection, since a
self-healing capacitor does not carry any considerable overcurrent; whereas this capacitor
type can be disconnected by means of a make-and-break fuse due to its internal pressure
caused by the gas produced during the many self-healing processes.
369

MKV and MKP Capacitors
General Technical Information

8. Mounting instructions
When capacitors with a make-and-break fuse are mounted, care should be taken not to
hinder the elastic elements of the fuse.
Thismeans:
The connecting leads must be sufficiently elastic. The space left above the aluminum capacitor connections must be sufficient and the elastic bottom oftubular case capacitors must be
flexible within the beading. The crimps may not be fixed by clamps. When these regulations
are taken into account, Siemens capacitors with make-and-break fuses offer maximum reliability for all alternating voltage applications.
Fitting position
Capacitors in aluminum and plastic case may be mounted in any position. For capacitors in
big tubular cases upright mounting is mandatory. Horizontal mounting can be permitted after
agreement with the manufacturer.
Fixing
The threaded bolts of aluminum and plastic cases up to diameters greater than 60 mm and a
height of 154 mm may be used forfixing when the vibration conditions are upto 5 g. Largercapacitors are to be fixed, e.g. with ring clips according to B 44031, or connecting rings according to B 44032.
Grounding
Either the threading bolt of aluminum cases or the ground strip at the cover of tubular cases
are to be used for grounding in accordance with VDE 0100.
Safety precautions
When MPfilter capacitors are used, it is necessary to observe the safety precautions for high
voltage capacitors (self-recharging phenomenon and high energy level of high voltage batteries).

14.3. Cycle duration (SO)
The cycle duration is understood as the sum of operation time and voltage-free intervals at intermittent operation.

14.4. Relative operation time (ED)
The relative operation time is the ratio of operation time to cycle duration, stated as a percentage ofthe cycle duration.
Example: AB 20% ED; SD 10 hours
means intermittent operation at a cycle duration of 10 hours, where a voltage is applied to the
capacitor for 2 hours and the interval lasts 8 hours.

14.5. Short-time operation (KB)
At short-time operation the duty cycle is so short that the steady-state capacitor temperature
is not achieved. The voltage-free interval is so long, that the temperature cools down practical/y to the temperature ofthe cooling agent.

15. Solder conditions
When the capacitors are subjected to the soldering process, care must be taken that the
capacitors are not being damaged by too high heat input. Siemens capacitors meet the
fol/owing test conditions in accordance with DIN 40046, sheet 18:

MCC chokes (mini cylinder core) and BC chokes (bobbin core) are required for low frequency and
high frequency decoupling purposes in signal and control circuits, for the filtering of supply voltages,
for use in filter circuits, etc.
Their wide field of application covers electronically controlled household appliances, devices of entertainment electronics, trip computers in vehicles, as well as devices of professional engineering.
Axial, radial, and low-profile choke versions are available to meet these applications. As taped versions they are designed for automatic assembly machines.

SIFI standard filter series
Application

Four filter series for the solution of EMC problems and for EMI suppression
are offered with the new standard filters SIFI 8 84111-A to 8 84114-D. Thus
an economic wiring - depending on the required attenuation effect - has
been enabled.
Filters with one choke
S IFI A 884111-A * 10 to * 120
normal attenuation, for rated currents up to 20 A
SIFI 8 884112-8* 1Oto * 120
enhanced attenuation, for rated currents up to 20 A
SIFI D 884114-D* 10 to * 110
high attenuation compared to SIFI 8, for rated currents up to 10 A
Filter with two chokes
S IFI C 884113-C* 30 to * 11 0
very high attenuation

Construction

The components are enclosed in a shielding aluminum case provided with
mounting strips and sealed in a self-hardening epoxy resin.

Terminals

Version A and 8: flat plugs on both sides 6.3 mm x 0.8 mm (DIN 46244),
inserted in insulating lead-throughs.
Version K: Thermosetting plug on the line side in accordance with IEC
320/C14 flat plug on the plug side 6.3 mm x 0.8 mm, DIN 46244.
Every case is provided with a flat plug 6.3 mm x 0.8 mm, DIN 46244 as
safety connector.

Design and symbols

The filters are designed such that they meet the requirements in accordance
with VDE 0565T3, UL, CSA, SEV, Semko, Nemko and Demko. The filter
series are applied for the corresponding test symbols.

Rated current

The rated current intensity applies to 115 Vac, 50/60 Hz as well as to 250 Vac,
50/60 Hz, i.e. a current reduction in case of application at 250 Vac is not
necessary.
As the VDE specification 0565T3 is limited to filters up to a rated current
of 16 A, the VDE test symbol for both the 20 A filters applies up to 16 A.

Discharge resistors

The discharge resistors are designed in accordance with VDE 0730, i.e. one
second after disconnection between device and line, the voltage at the line
plug must have dropped to 34 V. The requirements of this VDE specification
are the same as those of the corresponding IEC specificaitons (IEC 355 for
household appliances, IEC 380 for office machines, and IEC 435 for data
processing systems.)

The characteristic curve of the precision NTC thermistors is calculated with square-law
correction elements which are determined empirically.

2.1.2 Tolerance
The resistance value RA and the B value are subject to manufacturing tolerances. Due to the
B tolerance, which describes the varying steepness of the resistance-temperature characteristic, an increase in deviation must be expected at temperatures which lie  200°C

3.3 Dimensioning notes
3.3.1 Temperature measurement and regulation
Compared with other commercially available temperature sensors, NTC thermistors have
considerable advantages in many applications:
a) Owing to the high resistance value, the resistive effects of leads can be neglected. Dueto the
wide spectrum of various resistance values, the most favorable resistance value can be
selected for any application.
b) The high temperature coefficient enables a measuring oftemperature differences of 10- 4 K
or less with little effort.
c) The small sizes which are possible for NTCs permit small time constants and thus a rapid
response of the sensors. The smallest measuring NTC thermistor in this data book has a
diameter of only 0.4 mm.
The tolerances (see also section 2.1.2) can, if necessary, be compensated by resistors
connected in series and parallel with the NTC thermistor. This also permits linearization
of the resistance-temperature characteristics in accordance with equation (2). The
dimensioning of linearization resistors is specified in section 3.3.2. However, any connection
of fixed resistors decreases the steepness of the characteristic curve.
NTC thermistors used for temperature measurement purposes should have such a low
electrical load that no remarkable heating will occur and the NTC resistance value will be
determined only by the ambient temperature.
If an overtemperature

~ T due

to intrinsic heating is permitted, then
(10a)

and
(10b)

A rule of thumb is the fact that the overtemperature ~ T should be lower than the required
measuring accuracy. The thermal conductance Gth is normally specified in the NTC data sheets
for the case where the NTC thermistor is surrounded by stationary air.
If the NTC is operated in a liquid or if it is installed in a case, the thermal conductance may be
increased by a factor of 2 to 5, thus permitting a higher load.

3.3.2 Temperature compensation (linearization)
The electrical load should also in this case be so low that the NTC resistance value is
determined only by the ambient temperature. In compensation applications, the distinct
nonlinearity of the NTC thermistor characteristic curve is often a problem. However, that
characteristic curve can be linearized by connecting' a fixed resistor in parallel. The
combination of NTC thermistor and parallel resistor has an S-shaped charaCte;ristic curve
with an inflection point, depending on the temperature.
521

A parallel connection of relay coil and NTC thermistor is used for delaying the relay release.

R,
Figure 11
Delay of relay release

In this case, the following dimensioning rules apply:
•

With a cold NTC thermistor, the voltage across the coil must be at least 1.5 times the
maximum voltage V, .

•

The voltage at which the relay is released should not be less than 1.5 times the rated
voltage of the NTC thermistor VA.

The switching sequence of a relay delayed by means of an NTCthermistor depends on the NTC
recovery time. The NTC has to cool down before it can cause a new delay. If it is unloaded for
a period of t = 3 x T'h (3 times the thermal time constant) between two load operations, then
the delay of the second operation is approximately 80 to 90% of the first delay time. It is
therefore advisable to short-circuit or disconnect the NTC thermistor by means of additional
relay contacts in order to provide the maximum possible time for cooling the NTC (shown as
a dashed line in figure 10).

3.3.4 Voltage regulation
NTC thermistors can be used in a manner similar to Z diodes for stabilizing voltages. If a fixed
resistor with a value of approximately 1 % of the NTC cold resistance is connected in series
with the NTC thermistor, an about 10% constant voltage can be picked off across NTC
thermistor and series resistor over a current range of 1 :10.
Compared with Z diodes, voltage regulation with NTC thermistors has the advantage of no
harmonic vibration being generated, and in this way regulation of wide frequency bands is
made possible. A distortion factor, which rises with decreasing frequency, does not occur
unless frequency values amount to about only 20 Hz, and is caused by the fact that the NTC
resistance value is already changed during one half wave.
Version R51 with which voltages of approximately 4 V (R51-4/1 /20) and 8V (R51-8/0.5/10) can
be regulated, is especially suitable for that application purpose.

4.2 Quality specifications
In order to characterize the quality of NTC thermistors, the following is indicated:
•

Limit values, as well as the deviation of the characteristic data (tolerances)

•

Maximum proportions of defective components, so-called AOL values (acceptable quality
level), for the values specified in the table below. The principles of statistics must be taken
into account when judging the delivery quality.

•

A defect exists if a component characteristic does not correspond to the data sheet
specifications. The defects are distinguished either according to their type or to their extent.
Distinction according to the defect types:
- Defects at cases and terminals
- Defects in the electrical features
Distinction according to the defect extent:
- Total defects: Defects which exclude any functional application
- Gradual defects: Defects which permit a functional application subject to restrictions

•

AOL values:
The AQL values which apply to the various defects are listed in the table below.
Defects with respect to deviation values are counted separately.

Incoming inspection
The examinations carried out by the manufacturer are intended to make an incoming
inspection by the user unnecessary. However, should the user nevertheless wish to carry
out an incoming inspection, then the application of a random sampling test plan in
accordance with the following regulations is recommended:
VG 95082 and 95083, as well as ABC STD 105
ASQ random sampling test tables for attribute examination ASQ/ AWF1
(available from Beuth-Vertrieb GmbH, Berlin W15 and Cologne).

5.1 Lower category temperature \1m ;n
'is defined as the lowest permissible component temperature during operation (without the
effects of intrinsic and extrinsic heating, at the moment ofturning on).
5.2 Upper category temperature \1 max
is defined as the maximum permissible temperature which may occur afthe hottest point on
the component surface (including the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic heating).
5.3 Code letters for category temperatures (in accordance with DIN 40040, 2.73)
The permissible temperature ranges depend on the component version.

General Technical Information

4. Constructional design

4.1. Contacti ng
The large area metallization over the winding face ends ensures good contact between
the layers and the connecting elements. Hence, capacitors with low-inductance, low loss
characteristics are obtained.
The capacitors in rectangular plastic cases and the epoxy resin sealed types are provided with spacers in orderto improve the solderability in the solder bath. These capacitors
are thus particularly suited for use on printed circuit boards.

4.2. Dimensions
The main dimensions stated for MK capacitors are maximum dimensions including the
insulating sleeve (for details refer to the individual data sheets).
5. Electrical properties
5.1. Capacitance
5.1.1. Rated capacitance
The capacitance ratings available for the individual capacitor types range from 680 pF
to 100 jlF. The capacitance values are graded according to the E standard. The actually
available values of the E standard (E6, E12, E24, E48, E96) are contained in the individual
data sheets.
5.1.2. Tolerances available
MKL capacitors
±20, ± 1 0%
MKT capacitors
± 20, ± 1 0, ± 5%
MKC capacitors
± 20, ± 1 0, ± 5%
MKP capacitors
± 1 0, ± 5%
MKY capacitors
± 5, ± 2, ± 1%
The rated capacitances and appropriate tolerances are indicated on the individual data
sheets. The capacitance tolerances are coded by the following letters (in accordance with
IEC recommendation 62/1968):

5.1.3. Temperature dependence
The variation of the capacitance with respect to the permissible temperature range (see
climatic category) is not linear, but reversible.
In the range of -20 to +70°C, (-4 to +158°F), however, an approximately linear run
of the temperature can be assumed.

8

General Technical Information

5.1.6. Capacitance drift iz
Apart from reversible changes, the capacitance is also subject to irreversible changes
which are summarized under the term "maximum capacitance drift i/'. The values refer to
+40 °C/+ 104 of and to the load duration stated for each capacitor type on the appropriate
data sheets. The values are typical values. For standard type capacitors, the capacitance
drift applies to a period of two years. Frequent and large temperature changes within the
fringe area of the permissible temperature and relative humidity can cause the stated drift
values to rise. In accordance with DIN 44 110 typical values for a storage time of two years
are also given. The storage conditions stated under item 3.5.3. are applicable.

5.2. Voltage and current operation

5.2.1. Rated voltage UR
The rated voltage is the direct operating voltage which may be applied continuously to
the terminals of a capacitor at an ambient temperature of 40°C (104 OF).
When the capacitor is operated within the permissible climatic category, the following
limiting conditions are to be taken into account:

5.2.2. Category voltage Uc (at dc operation)
The category voltage Uc is the maximum dc voltage, which may be applied continuously
to the capacitor and is dependent upon the ambient temperature. The resulting voltage
derating at higher temperatures is covered by outline drawings in the appropriate data
sheets (definition in accordance with DIN 44110).

5.2.3. Category voltage U c (at ac operation)
The category voltage Uc is referred to 50 Hz which may be applied continuously to the
capacitor (see individual types).
When an additional dc voltage is superimposed to the ac voltage, the sum of the applied
dc voltage and the amplitude of the ac voltage should not exceed the category voltage Uc .
MK capacitors are generally not intended for technical ac applications. In exceptional
cases, references are given to possible operation indicating the permissible rated
voltage Uac•
For operation at higher frequencies and for non-sinusoidal ac voltage load see para. 5.2.5.

5.2.4. Peak voltage
The peak voltage is the maximum voltage which may be applied to the capacitorfor a short
period, e. g. with non-periodic switchings. The peak voltage is particularly specified in
individual data sheets.

10

General Technical Information

5.2.6. Pulse handling capability (current carrying capacity)
Our data sheets contain a pulse characteristic ko that takes into account the interdependence between the permissible voltage rate of rise Upp/r and the voltage swing U pp .
The pulse characteristic k;' that is decisive for the capacitor loading can be calculated for a
given application as follows:
For pulse-shaped voltages with
straight-line pulse edges (trapezoidal, sawtooth) applies:

k;' = 2 x Upp 2 /T [V2/j.JS]

For spontaneous and short-circuit like
discharges and charges applies:
The k;' value determined by the circuit data has to be lower than or at the utmost
equal to that k;' value given for the individual capacitor types.
The k;' values refer to ambient temperatures of up to 50°C (122 OF).
ko values for higher temperatures are available on request.
Summary of terms used:
Voltage swing (operating voltage)
Charging voltage
Ohmic resistance in the charging and/or discharging circuit
Capacitance of capacitors

6.4 Sealing unprotected MKt film capacitors
The numerous kinds of sealings entail difficulties in indicating the know-how - based
on own experiments - for every application. According to our understanding, the following
seaiing materials are suitable for any application:
Acid-anhydride hardening, non-flexibilized epoxy resins; indifferent, electrically nonconductive hardeners; hardening temperature max. 100°C (212 OF). A sealing, comprising
those elements, has stood our tests and has been utilized in the electronics industry.

6.5. Resistance to vibration
Th,e ability of MK capacitors to withstand specified vibtation loads as specified in the
DIN standard 40046, sheet 8, test Fe' partial test Bland in the IEC recommendation
68-2-6:
Duration of endurance conditioning
Frequency range
Displacement amplitude
This vibration load complies with maximum

6 hours
10 to 55 Hz
0.75 mm
98.1 m/sec 2 or 10 9

Big components have to be fixed by clamps for this test.

6,6. Low air pressure
Test in accordance with DIN 40046, sheet 13, or the IEC recommendation 68-2-3
providing a degree condition of severity of 44 mbar.

7. Reliability (in accordance with DIN 40040, Febr. 1973)
The reliability (operational reliability) of a component is determined by the failures expected out of a sufficiently large batch after a defined period of time.
Data on load duration and failure quota is used for characterization.

7.1. Reference reliability of MK capacitors
The reference reliability is the reliability for a particularly defined requirement (reference
requirement).
The reference reliability given for MK capacitors, refElrs to 40°C (104 OF) and to the annual
average humidity admitted for the particular type. Here, the diagrams of apendix 2, DIN
40040, page 7, are to betaken into accountfora reduced relative humidity at temperatures
above room temperature.

8. Ordering codes
Siemens has introduced part numbers for all its technical products in order to expedite
procedures such as ordering and supplying, bymeansofdata processing equipment. These
part numbers clearly identify any deliverable component.
The ordering codes (Siemens part numbers) for MK capacitors are contained on every data
sheet. They are in accordance with the Siemens standard SN 01001.
Ordering code example:
Type
Revision status
Rated voltage 3b250 V dc

B 32 510-0 3 104-K

~;nr

Capacitance tolerance (Kb±1 0%)
Rated capacitance
(1 04b 10 x 1 0 4 pF = O. 1 ~F)

Improvements and technical advance are expressed by changing the code letter for the
revision status. It is reserved to deliver MK capacitors with a revision status later than that
ordered.

8.1. Marking the capacitors
The capacitance of the capacitors is, in most cases, marked according to DIN 40825.
Examples:

Minimum order quantities for taped, axial MK capacitors
Using only small numbers of taped components would be uneconomic as the share of
taping and packing expense would increase the costs considerably. Moreover, automatic
assembly is only reasonable for larger quantities. We, therefore, determined minimum
order quantities for taped MK capacitors, which also correspond to the capacity of the

URUCUf

After the forming voltage UF has been reached, a subsequent forming starts in connection
with high generation of gas and heat, a small quantity of which already appears during the
strongly curved part of the characteristic. In orderto avoid damage of the capacitor, the rated
voltage should be applied where the characteristic has its less curved part. The difference between the forming voltage and the operating voltage, the so-called over-anodization, thus
determines substantially the operational reliability of the capacitors. Hence, the possibility is
given by high over-anodization to build capacitors that are particularly reliable in operation,
as required for high reliability purposes (DIN41 240, type I).
As already mentioned, only the winding method is presently in use for aluminum electrolytic
capacitors. The winding contains, in addition to the already described anode, a second aluminum foil, at least equal in size, but not anodized. It serves as a large area current supplyforthe
electrolyte and is normally called "cathode" in spite ofthe fact that with respectto its function
the proper cathode is represented by the electrolyte.
Both foils are separated from each other by paper layers. The paper has to meet different
requirements. It serves as carrying agent for the electrolyte - the electrolyte is stored in the
pores ofthe absorbent paper-and as space keeping agent in orderto avoid short circuits and
to achieve the necessary voltage strength between anode and "cathode".

3. Electrolytic Capacitors - high reliability versions (type I)
and standard versions (type II)
High reliability electrolytic capacitors (abbr. DIN designation: type I) feature a high reference
reliability (see para. 17). In addition to the possible, far-reaching over-anodization, also other
measures are used in order to improve the reliability. The materials used forthe construction
of aluminum electrolytic capacitors must generally satisfy high requirements as to their purity; for type I capacitors a particularly careful selection is necessary. These efforts influence
the case size as well as the price. In lEe publications aluminum electrolytic capacitors for high
reliability requirements are identified as "long life grade" (abbr. "LL", formerly "type 1"). Such
efforts are not required for capacitors intended for use in the entertainment field, since less
reliability is sufficient. The main requirements to be met are here a small size. During the last
years a steady size reduction could be achieved, mainly resulting from an increased etching
effect. This cannot be permanently continued since reduced foil areas cause the losses to increase. Up to now this disadvantage could be compensated to a large extent by using highly
conductive electrolytes. The standard versions of aluminum electrolytic capacitors are designated as type II.
Standard type aluminum electrolytic capacitors are identified in lEe publications as "general
purpose grade" (abbr. "GP", formerly "type 2").

4. Specifications
The international specifications for aluminum electrolytic capacitors are given in lEe publication 384-4, which is also available in German as DIN-lEe 384, part 4 (at present only draft). In
the future, German specifications will be adapted tothese lEe specifications. Atthe moment,
differing principal specifications exist for high reliability and standard electrolytic capacitors
which - apart from definitions - mainly contain properties such as temperature range, referred reliability, dissipation factor ratings; impedance, equivalent series resistance, operating and output leakage current, current handling capability etc. Fundamental specifications

5.4 Peak voltage Up
The peak voltage Up is the maximum voltage (peak value) which may be applied to the capacitor for short periods only, e.g. up to 5 times for 1 minute during 1 hour, but is not allowed to be
exceeded during this period. The peak voltage may not be applied for operational periodic
charging and discharging purposes.
The peak voltage Up is according to 0 IN specifications
for UR up to and including 100 V: 1.15 x UR
for UR exceeding 100 V: 1.1 x UR
Siemens aluminum electrolytic capacitors can partly be loaded with considerably higher
peak voltage. In this case, details may be found in the data sheets. The reduced operating
voltage Uop instead of UR has to be applied to such capacitors for which a derating at ambient
temperatures> 85° C/185° F is requested.

5.5 Superimposed alternating voltage
This is the rms value of the alternating voltage which may be applied to the capacitor in addition to the direct voltage. The peak value of the resulting waveform voltage should not exceed
the rated voltage. No voltage of reversed polarity with a peak value higher than 2 V may occur
(exception: non-polarized electrolytic capacitors).

5.6 Superimposed alternating current
The superimposed alternating current is the rms value of the alternating current, which may
be applied to the capacitor. It is so much higher the larger the capacitor surface (cooling surface) and the lower the dissipation factor tan 8 (or the smaller the equivalent series resistance
ESR respectively) are. This can result in the necessity to choose a capacitor of a higher
voltage series than required for its voltage loading. Moreover, the superimposed alternating
current depends on the ambient temperature and up to a certain degree on the frequency of
the ac current.
'
The typical values of the permissible superimposed alternating currents as tabulated in
para. 5.6.1 and 5.6.2 apply at a frequency of 100 Hz and the ambient temperature of 85° C/
185° F, More exact values can be taken in most cases from the individual data sheets.

5.6.5 Load with not clearly defined currents orfrequencies
When currents or frequencies are applied that cannot be clearly defined, the surface temperature is not allowed to exceed the value given in para. 5.6.4 at any point of the capacitor
casing.
5.7 Capacitance
5.7.1 Rated capacitance GR
The rated capacitance of an electrolytic capacitor is the value which is indicated upon the
capacitor. The actual capacitance value may deviate from this value within the tolerance
limits indicated on the individual data sheets.
5.7.2 Ac and dc capacitance
The effective capacitance of a capacitor depends on the kind of circuit in which it is operated.
The rated capacitance is therefore determined either with ac (ac cap.) for the types IA and IIA
or with dc (dc cap.) forthe types IB and liB.
One can differentiate accordingly between:
ac capacitance - important for smoothing and coupling capacitors as well asfor AF and RF
bridging.
dc capacitance-decisive in capacitors fordischarge circuits, e.g. maintaining ohime specifications.
The ac capacitance (series capacitance Gr ) is the capacitive part ofthe equivalent circuit. It is
determined by measuring with an ac voltage;;;; 0.5 V and depends on the frequency. Therefore, a certain measuring frequency must be agreed upon. In accordance with DIN it is 50 Hz.
In other specifications, as IEC, 100 Hz or 120 Hz are required. Because of the temperature dependence a reference temperature has been determined, in accordance with DIN it is 20°C
(68°F).
The dc capacitance is the capacitance that has been found out by a single discharge of a capacitor, loaded up to its rated voltage under defined time conditions. Because of the complicated description of the measuring methods, DIN 41 328, sheet 4 (measurement of dc capacitance) should be referred to. It should be mentioned for orientation, that the measurement of
the dc capacitance results in a higher capacitance value than the ac capacitance measurement. The factors are about 1.1 to 1.5, where the largest deviations occur with capacitors for
low rated voltages.

5.7.5 Capacitance drift
There are different phenomena that can cause a capacitance drift. This is designated as the
change with time within the service life, referred to a temperature of +40° C (104° F). The drift
is greater at lower than at higher voltages. It is therefore advisable to use capacitors of a higher rated voltage series in critical cases. The drift rises with increasing operating temperature
as well as with a continuous, full utilization of the allowed ac load. The permissible drift values
for high reliability capacitors in accordance with DIN 41 240 are as follows:

There are no values available in DIN 41 332 for standard version electrolytic capacitors; however, the maximum values tabulated above can be assumed as typical values for standard version capacitors.

5.7.6 Dielectric strength
A capacitance decrease can also result from frequent discharges of the capacitors. Due to a
special structure, Siemens aluminum electrolytic capacitors have a high dielectric strength.
After 106 switchings their capacitance decrease is less than 10%. Generally a switching stress
as indicated in DIN 41 240for long life grade (high reliability) capacitors can be assumed.

5.8 Dissipation factor ta n 0
The dissipation factor tan 0 is the ratio of the equivalent series resistance to the capacitive
reactive part in the equivalent circuit or of efficiency to reactive power at sinusoidal waveform
voltages. It is measured at the same arrangement as the series capacitance Cr. For the temperature of 20°C (68° F) the principal standards quote the following maximum dissipation factors:

The equivalent series resistance of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor results from dividing
the table value by CR.
The ESR value obtainable in practice is limited by the resistance part ofthe joints and the foils,
hence the calculated values lowerthan 0.1 n cannot be realized in any case.
The values tabulated above only apply unless those given forthe individual types are better.

5.10lmpedanceZ
The impedance of an electrolytic capacitor is principally determined from the series-connection ofthe following individual resistances:
1. Effective reactance 1/ wCof the capacitance C.
2. Ohmic resistance of the electrolytes and the supply lines.
3. Effective reactance wL of the inductance of the winding and the supply lines.
The effective reactances, 1/wCand wLare actually only dependent on the frequency, whereas
the electrolytic resistance is mostly dependent on the temperature, and increases strongly
with decreasing temperature.
These characteristics of the individual resistances determine the development ofthe total resistances of an electrolytic capacitor in dependence on frequency and temperature. The
graphs in diagrams 6 and 7 serve as examples. It is evident that the capacitive resistance is
preponderant at low frequencies, and decreases with (Xc = l/wC) as the frequency increases, until it reaches the order of magnitude of the electrolytic resistance. The relatively
constant electrolytic resistance is the deciding factor at further increasing frequencies and
changing temperatures (see the 20° e/68° F graph). At still higher frequencies, a resonance
minimum is formed, especially at low capacitance values and low temperatures. The inductive resistance of the winding and the supply line then becomes operational and results in an
increase of the impedance (XL = wL). The electrolytic resistance, increasing with falling temperature, attains higher values by shifting the impedance graph at low temperatures. The
lower the temperature, the more this influence is ableto act upon lowerfrequencies.

Capacitors should preferably be measured at 10kHz and capacitors> 1000 /-IF partly at 1 kHz.
The impedance value of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in n can be determined by dividing the table value by CR. The impedance value obtainable in practice is limited by the resistance part of its contacts and foil resistances; therefore, calculated values below 0.1 cannot
be realized in any case.
Siemens electrolytic capacitors often feature better impedance values than given above_
These are contained on the individual data sheets.

5.11 Leakage current
Due to the special features of the aluminum oxide layer serving as dielectric, a small current,
the so-called leakage current, flows even after applying dc for a longer period.
A low leakage current value is the criterion of a well designed dielectric. The leakage current
can thus be considered as a measure for the quality of the capacitor. (Here it should be noted
that due to physical reasons about twice the leakage current values occur in non-polarized
capacitors.)

5.11.1 Leakage current dependence on time
After having applied a voltage, the leakage current is high atfirst (starting current), particularly after previous, long voltage-free storage, then it decreases rapidly with increasing working
time and attains at last an approximately constant final value (see fig. 8).

5.11.5 Output leakage current
Because of the dependence on time and temperature it is necessary to determine reference
values for time and temperature when testing the leakage current. In accordance with DIN,
the leakage current shall be measured after 5 min with rated voltage. The reference temperature is 20° C/68° F. The maximum values for the output leakage current in ~A are determined
by the following formulae, where differences are made between various loads of the capacitor.

AI Electrolytic Capacitors
General technical data

6.1 Upper temperature limit
Maximum temperature limits have to be respected for all aluminum electrolytic capacitors,
exceeding of these limits can lead to early failure of the capacitor. Therefore, upper temperature limits have been fixed in order to determine the highest allowable ambient temperature
for the aluminum electrolytic capacitor at continuous operation. The upper temperature
limits are quoted in the temperature range table on the specific data sheet. For many type
series of aluminum electrolytic capacitors short exceedings of the temperature are permitted; data thereon can also be found on the data sheet.
As explained in para. 7, service life and reliability highly depend on the capacitor's temperature. Operating the aluminum electrolytic capacitor at the lowest possible temperature is,
therefore, recommended, as service life and reliability are thus increased. For the same reason, it is advisable to install the aluminum electrolytic capacitor at positions of low ambient
temperature.

6.2 Lower operating temperature limit
Due to the decreasing temperature the conductivity of the electrolyte diminishes which reslJlts in an increase ofthe aluminum electrolytic capacitor's real resistance, thus effecting increasing impedances and dissipation factors (equivalent series resistances, respectively).
For most of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor applications these increases can be permitted only up to determined maximum values and it is, therefore, reasonable to determine a
lower temperature limit. This is also quoted in the indicated temperature range of the differenttypes.
It has to be emphasized that also the operation below the lower temperature limit does not
damage the aluminum electrolytic capacitor. Such applications, where even then the equipment's operability is granted, happen continuously, especially if the capacitor is exposed to
ac load. The ac current flowing due to increased equivalent series resistance can heat up the
aluminum electrolytic capacitor to such an extent that its capacitive qualities still remain sufficientforthe equipment's operability.

6.3 Upper storage temperature
The aluminum electrolytic capacitor may be stored even voltage-free at temperatures up to
the upper temperature limit. However, it has to be observed that leakage current stability and
service life and reliability, respectively, decrease with increasing temperatures (see para. 17
and 19). In order not to diminish these qualities unnecessarily, the storage temperature
should therefore not exceed 40° C/104° F and possibly lie between 0° C/32° F and 25°C/77° F.

7. Reliability
Indic'!tions on the reliability of components are of great importance for the user because information is given on operational reliability and expected service life. Basic information on reliability for components is given in DIN 40040 and DIN 40041. Using this information, it has to
be considered that these are statistical figures. They can, therefore, refer only to great
batches. The most important definitions are quoted below:

7.1 Load duration
Load duration is the total of operating and intermittent periods, storage, measurement and
test time at the user, and the time of transportation.

7.2 Failure
A failure can be stated if the characteristics of a component, faultless at the loading start,
change during the load in undue manner.

7.2.1 Total failure
A total failure excludes any operable application ofthe component. This is indicated in case of
short circuit or interruption.

7.2.2 Failures due to variation
As failures due to variation are to be understood deviations exceeding certain limits which in
general are still acceptable. The excess of one or more of these limits does not in all cases indicate that the capacitor is the reason for the equipment's failure; instead all depends on the
sensitivity of the circuitry.

144

AI Electrolytic Capacitors

7.5 Reliability
The term reliability indicates the characteristics of a components batch not exceeding a certain failure rate at a determinated Idad and load duration.

7.5.1 Reference re~ability
The reference reliability is the quoted reliability for a reference load. Generally, the reference
load for electrolytic capacitors are the ambient temperature ~ 40° C (104° F) and the appropriate permissible load (e.g. rated voltage and the ac voltage appropriate to 40° C (104° F). Indicated therein are each one failure rate and the respective load duration. For reference reliabilltythe appropriate specifications DIN 41240, DIN 41257 and DIN 41332, sheet 1, indicate the
values tabulated below.

7.7 Failure criteria
The failure rates pertinent to reference reliability and operational life include total failures as
well as failures due to variations. As already explained in para. 7.2.1, a total failure of the
aluminum electrolytic capacitor must be stated in case of short or open circuit. In order to determine the operational life the following criteria of failures due to variation are indicated on
specification DIN 41240 and DIN 41332, sheet 1:

The initial limit value must not be exceeded. (Notice re-anodization according to para. 5.11.5.)

This definition offailures due to variation describes deviations from electrical values exceeding a certain, generally still permissible limit. The excess of one or even more of these limits
does not necessarily mean that the capacitor will cause a breakdown of the device; all depends on the sensitivity ofthe circuitry.

8. References for use
It is intended to draw your attention to a draft specification, published in July 1973 under the
number DI N 41123, that contains references for use of aluminum and tantalum electrolytic
capacitors. The most important points dealt with, are: safety requirements, protective measures, fitting in devices with inherent heating, damage due to excess pressure, danger of fire,
serie? or parallel connection of electrolytic capacitors.

AI Electrolytic Capacitors
General technical data

Solvents containing halogen may cause the following damages to the aluminum electrolytic
capacitors: The insulating foil can be dissolved or affected, thus providing only insufficient insulating capability. The sealings of the capacitors can swell up such that the solvents can get
into the inner part of the electrolytic capacitor, there resulting in corrosion and premature failure of the component. The following list contains a collection of critical halogen hydrocarbons partially in pure form, partially mixed with other solvents, that are frequently applied as
cleaning agents in the electrical industry.
Trichlorotriethanefluoride (trade name e.g. Freon, Kaltron, Frigene)
Trichloroethylene
Trichloroethane (trade name e.g. Chlorothene, Wacker 3 xl)
Tetrachloroethylene (trade name e.g. Per)
Methylene chloride
Chloroform
Carbon tetrachloride
The following solvents are recommended as cleaning agents for electrolytic capacitors:
Methanol
Ethanol (alcohol)
Propanol
Isopropanol
Isobutanol
Petroleum ether
When using the listed solvents the appropriate safety precautious (e.g. because of toxicity,
combustibility, explosion hazard) are to be taken.

8.4 Operating electrolytes
Operating electrolytes partly contain noxious substances. Therefore when handling aluminum electrolytic capacitors the following has to be observed:
.
a) Leaked out electrolyte possibly should not be brought in contact with skin or eyes.
b) Skin parts moistened by electrolyte must immediately be washed under running water.
Eyes should be washed by means of rinsing for 10 minutes with ample water. In case of
continuing pain, a doctor hasto be consulted.
c) Respiration of electrolyte vapors and/orfog has to be avoided. Work places and rooms
should be well ventilated.
d) Clothes contaminated by electrolyte haveto be taken off andwashed with water.

Taping of Electrolytic Capacitors

1. General Information
Components with axial leads are particularly suitable for automatic assembly. We therefore offer the
appropriate electrolytic capacitors with rated diameters of up to 16 mm also packaged on continuous
tape. Up to now taping was carried out in accordance with regulations given by DIN 40810 (February
1964). In the meantime an international agreement has been achieved on the way of taping. Thereon
the specification draft IEC 52 (Central Office) 133, edition February 1977, was published, which has
also been adopted into the German DIN-IEC 52.133, November 1977.
The taping of our electrolytic capacitors will be changed in accordance with IEC regulations.
Accordingly the components will be taped in such a manner that identical poles are turned to the same
side of the tape, while one tape on the positive pole's side is colored red. The wire ends do not overlap
the tape. Depending on the capacitor's dimension the tapes will be delivered on reels or in meandering folding, packaged in parcels.

The climatic categories for electrical components in accordance with DIN 40040, para. 3,
designate the minimum and maximum category temperatures as well as the humidity
category of the component by three subsequent code letters (see page 43). The capacitors dealt with in t~is data book are assigned to both the groups:
STYROFLEX capacitors (maximum category temperature 70°C/158°F)
Polypropylene capacitors (max. category temperature 85 °C/185 OF)
according to the summary of types, i. e. at first, the unprotected types and at last the
protected or sealed types are quoted.
2.1. STYROFLEX capacitors (maximum category temperature 70 °C/ 158 of
2.1.1. Unprotected standard capacitors, meeting normal climatic requirements
(humidity category G) page 55
Standard capacitors are used in large quantities for all electronic apparatus and equipment, where close capacitance tolerances, a low dissipation factor tan 0, and high capacitance stability are required.
Whereas all other STYROFLEX and polypropylene capacitors are tubular winding performances, this group also includes flat winding versions, such as B 31112 and B 31113.
2.1.2. Unprotected high reliability capacitors throughout normal climatic requirements (humidity category G) page 69
High reliability capacitors are used for all apparatus and equipment of high operational
reliability and long service life expectancy.
Apart from tests for capacitance and dielectric strength the capacitors are subjected
to severer test conditions regarding insulation resistance and dissipation factor. In
addition, these capacitors have an improved capacitance drift i z characteristic due to
a pre-treatment with temperature cycles throughout the total temperature range.
Some of the high reliability types are available for two different minimum category
temperatures.
2.1.3. Protected high reliability capacitors in plastic case, meeting medium climatic requirements (humidity category E) page 81
The face-contacted wound unit of the high reliability capacitors, encapsulated in epoxy
resin sealed plastic cases, are additionally protected against moisture, thus meeting
high humidity requirements, (humidity category E). They are, moreover, outstanding for
low losses.
2.1.4. Sealed high reliability capacitors, meeting high climatic requirements
(humidity category C) page 87
The windings of sealed capacitors are not subject to humidity influences of the environmental conditions. The capacitance is humidity independent. Moreover, improved values
particularly for load duration and failure quota are obtained. The insulation performance,
especially at increased moisture, is mainly determined by the feed-throughs and their
surface leakage paths. Parallel resistances arising because of dew precipitation or hoarfrost cause a decrease in the insulation resistance or an increased dissipation factor.
214

Special details of the capacitor terminations are shown in the dimensional drawings on
the data sheets. Reliable contact is provided by the foil or lead connections on the capacitor electrodes. They comply with DIN 41380, part 3 and 4, para. 3.8.1., such that a
low electrical transfer resistance is guaranteed even at very low voltages.

5. Capacitance
5.1. Rated capacitance CR and capacitance measurement
The rated capacitance CR of a capacitor is the value which is indicated upon it.
Unless otherwise stated, the capacitance is measured under the following conditions:
Temperature
Relative humidity
Air pressure

15 to 35°C/59 to 95 OF
45 to 75%
860 to 1,060 mbar

The capacitance is measured by means of a measuring bridge suitable to measure the
series equivalent circuit. The uncertainty in measurement including the harmonic content and interference voltages should not exceed 10% of the deviation allowed for the
specimen or 0,1 % of the capacitance. The greater value applies; minimum value, however, notbelowO,5 pF.
For closely tolerated capacitance ratings, the measured capacitance is translated by
means of the temperature coefficient IXc of the relevant type into the reference temperature of 23 °C/73.4 OF.
Preferred measuring frequencies are:
for CR ;;;; 1,000 pF
for CR > 1,000 pF

100 kHz
1 kHz

The measuring voltage shall not exceed 20 V.
For capacitors with electrically disconnected metal case, measurement is performed
symmetrically with the case being grounded.
The capacitance mainly depends on the following influences:
Temperature
see para. 5.4., page 33
Humidity
see para. 5.5., page 34
Time
see para. 5.7. and para. 5.8., page 35 and 36.
In cases of doubt, the capacitance shall be measured in accordance with DIN specification 40046, part 2, November 1974, after pretreatment acc. to table 3, at the conditions of table 5, as follows:
(23 ± 1) °C (73.4 ± 1,8) OF; (50 ± 2) % relative humidity (860 to 1060) mbar.

5.2. Rated capacitance CR,

i~

series and tolerances

The ranges of rated capacitances CR and tolerances available are indicated for each
capacitor type. For all capacitors> 10 pF, preferred series are indicated, i. e. the E series
complying with DIN 41426 and IEC publication 63 (1963).

2nd Example:
A capacitance of 78,712 pF has been calculated for a coupling capacitor. A capacitance
tolerance of ± 10% is adequate for this application. The next E values of the E 24 series
are 75,000 and 82,000 pF. The value 75,000 pF with the tolerance of ± 5% meets the
tolerance requirement of ± 10% for the above stated, calculated value.
5.4. Temperature dependence of the capacitance, temperature coefficient

Uc

The temperature coefficient U c is defined in accordance with DIN 41380, part 3 and 4,
para 2.7.4. (edition 2.78) as follows:

C, = capacitance at temperature {},
} uniform
C2 = capacitance at temperature {}2
data
C3 = reference capacitance at (25 ± 10) °CI (77 ± 1 8) OF
in 10- 6IK
The temperature coefficient is mainly determined by the characteristics of the dielectric
film, the capacitor design and the deviation due to the production process.
The measuring conditions are contained in DIN 41380, part 3, para. 5.4.3.1. and part 4
para.5.3.3.1.
The stated values are typical values.

The point of regression of a temperature cycle between room temperature and the maximum limit temperature (curve A) can lie above or below the point of origin.
A temperature curve from 23°C (73,4°F) via -25°C (-13°F) to +70°C (+158°F) and
back to room temperature is plotted in curve B. The compensation error is the difference
between the original capacitance value and the value after passing the temperature cycle.
The more frequently the positive part of the temperature range has been passed, the
closer the point of regression and the point of origin can be approached.

220

In accordance with humidity diffusion the moisturing and drying process is time-dependent, the time constant being between approx. '/2 day (e. g. for 7 and 10 hours for unprotected types) and several weeks (e. g. for protected capacitors).
The capacitance of sealed capacitors is not subject to influences of moisture.
5.6. Frequency dependence of capacitance
The capacitance of the capacitors is practically independent of frequency. Closely below
the self resonant characteristic of the capacitors (see para. 9) the self inductance causes
and additional decrease in impedance. It's effect is like an increase in capacitance (see
also equivalent circuit diagram, para. 6).
5.7. Capacitance drift ;z
The drift values
LI C
1I.z 1-- C
stated for the individual capacitor types are typical values. They are indicated in pF in per
cent of the rated capacitance and mostly with an additive part. The vertical lines on the
right and left hand position of ;z means that absolute values are dealt with, i. e. the values
can be positive or negative. The drift values are valid for rated capacitances> 100 pF.
The reversible influences of temperature and humidity variations a c and flc are not contained in the iz value.
The values are referred to +40 °C/+1 04 of and to the load duration of the climatic category stated on the data sheets (in most cases 100,000 hours; see para. 16.4.). No load
duration is indicated for standard type capacitors; in this case, the capacitance drift is
referenced to a period of 2 years. Frequent and large temperature changes at the upper
category of the permitted temperature and relative humidity may increase the indicated
drift values.
If one capacitance value is available with two different rated voltages VR, the capacitor
type being the same, the winding with the higher rated voltage generally shows a more
favorable drift since its dielectric volume part is higher.
The drift which is caused by operation at changing temperatures, has been improved by
determined temperature cycles performed during the manufacturing process. Number
and temperature limit values are dependent on type and climatic category.
If the lower category temperature of STYROFLEX or polypropylene capacitors lies above
the lowest transport temperature of -40°C/-40°F, then falling below the minimum
category temperature 11min may cause the following capacitance changes:

6.2. Temperature and moisture influences
The dissipation factor values can be caused to increase because of influences of moisture,
whereas influences of temperature can be neglected.
If the capacitor temperature increases when the apparatus starts operation, the capacitor
could possibly be dried out resulting in a decreased dissipation factor.
6.3. Voltage dependence
The dissipation factor of STYROFLEX and Polypropylene capacitors is not dependent
on voltage.

7. Electrical power rating
The designations and definitions for the voltages permitted for a capacitor are determined in the DIN specification 41380 part 3 and 4 (Febr. 1978) and are explained in the
following diagram:

7.1. Rated voltage UR DIN 45910, para. 2.2.12.

The rated voltage UR is the maxim~m dc voltage which may continuously be applied to
the terminals of a capacitor at any temperature between the lower category temperatUfe ffmin (see para. 7.2.) and the rated temperature ffR"
.
The rated temperature ffR is the max. permissible ambient temperature, at which the
rated voltage UR may continuously be applied.
The rated voltage UR and the rated temperature ffR of STYROFLEX capacitors refer to
a surface temperature of 40 °C/1 04 of, of some other types also to 70 °C/158 of and
those of polypropylene capacitors to 85 °C/185 of.

8. Insulation resistance R;
8.1. of unprotected capacitors
The insulation resistance of unprotected capacitors depends on the capacitor temperature and the relative humidity. With increasing temperature and constant absolute
humidity, the relative air humidity decreases, the capacitor dries out, and the drying
process results in an increased insulation resistance starting at the value given.
Measurement is performed at:

UA < 100 V with 10 ± 1 V
UA ;:;;100Vwith 100±15V.
The data sheets include the insulation resistance R which is attained by 98% of the
capacitors.
j

8.2. of sealed capacitors
The insulation resistance of sealed capacitors in metal cases mainly depends on the
leakage paths of the feed-throughs used for the terminations. The minimum values of
the insulation resistances are contained in the individual capacitor data.

226

11. Coupling capacitance
For applications, where low capacitance of the outer layer to ground or to adjacent parts
(coupling capacitance) is required, unprotected small types are recommended. Moreover, the coupling capacitance can be reduced with construction aids during the assembly
of the capacitors.
In order to avoid deviating capacitances, types in metal cases with separate ground
connection can be used.

12. Low air pressure
With reduced air pressure the dielectric strength of the insulated feed-throughs of
sealed capacitors and connecting elements within the windings of unprotected types is
reduced. Unprotected types can be used without voltage derating down to 500 mbar
(400 torr) (7 km altitude, above NSL).

13. Vibration
The resistance to vibrations and shocks is defined in accordance with DIN 40046, part 8
(July 1970). For this test. axial-leaded capacitors must be clamped or soldered with
6 mm long straight leads. They are subsequently tested in three orthogonal directions.
If not otherwise stated in the individual capacitor data, the vibration is performed in
accordance with DIN 40046, sheet 8, and IEC publication 68-2-6, test F", vibration,
partial test B 1, 3 x 30 min. at 10 to 55 Hz with a displacement amplitude of 0,35 mm,
which conforms to a maximum acceleration of 49 m/s2 (5 g).

14. Solder conditions for the user
The plastic dielectric determines the upper category temperature of the capacitors.
Heating above this category temperature is of influence on the plastic and hence the
electrical data of the capacitor. Undue heating can damage the capacitor.
During every soldering process heat flows into the winding via the leads to be soldered.
Care has been taken by design measures to keep the influence of the flowing-in heat
on the capacitors as low as possible.
If suitable measures, such as fan cooling (also after the soldering process), increased
distance, solder resist materials etc. are provided, a soldering temperature of max.
265 °C/509 of and a duration of 5 ± 1 sec. will usually be adequate for soldering. A
solder duration of max. 3 sec. is recommended for STYROFLEX capacitors with leads
directly fed into its active region (B 31110, B 31112, B 31113, and B 31310).
The capacitance of the capacitors can possibly be affected by certain solutions of the
fluxing agent.
It is, therefore, recommended:
1. to provide for steam escapage and exhaustion during the soldering process.
2. not to adjust the resonent circuit directly after the soldering process.
Because of their higher category temperature, polypropylene capacitors are less sensitive to temperature requirements during the soldering process.

228

16. Climatic categories and reference reliability
16.1. Climatic categories in accordance with DIN 40040, Febr. 1973
The climatic category is that range of climatic requirements for which a component

(in accordance with IEC publication 68-1) is determined such that after this period, the
change in the electrical values resulting from the influence of humidity, has reached its
final state. Prolongation of the humidity test is permissible.
The following preferred groups for STYROFLEX capacitors are quoted in the IEC publication 275:

The permitted category values after the humidity test are indicated on the data sheets.
The changes due to humidity are reversible.

19. Standards and instructions
STYROFLEX and polypropylene capacitors are manufactured largely in accordance with
international and German specifications. Deviations from DIN 41380, part 3 and 4, are
pointed out in the general technical data.

19.1. Fundamental standards
The fundamental international recommandation for STYROFLEX capacitors is the

22. Part number, ordering code
Siemens has introduced part numbers for all its technical products in order to expedite
procedures such as ordering and supplying, by means of data processing equipment.
These part numbers are stated on data sheets, in data books, as well as in short form
catalogs, thus clearly identifying any deliverable component. In the following paragraphs the construction of part numbers and their 15 digits is explained.
Orders can be settled easier and faster, when the customer indicates the part number. For
some types, however, it is impossible, to give complete part numbers in our information
materials; however, the coding method is indicated, so that the client can code the part
number by himself.
As far as the coding method remains unclear, it is better to place the order uncoded (clear text). Since the coded designation is necessary for the internal
settlement, the coding will then be performed by Siemens, so that all types are
supplied according to a coded part number.

In order to facilitate the legibility, the part number comprising 15 digits, has been
separated into 3 blocks of 6, 5 and 4 digits, the blocks being joined by a hyphen. Each
of the three blocks begins with a letter, whereas all other digits are Arabic figures. In
case of collecting numbers, the letters are indicated with the special sign "+" and
figures with ".".

22.2. Digit 1 to 6 (type number)
For passive components, the first block starts with the letter "B". Together with the
following 5 figures the first block is to be understood as "type number" or B-number,
dividing the passive devices into groups for instance STYROFLEX capcrcitors, resistors,
SIFERRIT material etc.
22.3. Digit 7 (revision status)
In some fields of components, extended technical davelopments often result in improverevision status, which can be changed for unimportant variations into the next following
letter of the alphabet.
In some fields of components, extended technical developments often result in improvements, e. g. smaller dimensions. Some of the users are very interested in this miniaturization and its determination in the part number with respect to new constructions,
whereas other users producing mainly unchanged apparatus over many years, also
want to apply components with smaller dimensions, but are interested in an unchanged
components designation.
Siemens has therefore compromised as follows:
So-called "insignificant" variations which don't impair the previous application, are
marked in the 7th digit with a new revision status code letter. A change of the code
letter into a letter, late in the alphabet. specifies the component as being able to replace a component marked with a previous code letter.
236

If only the digit position 13 is held by a figure (except of "0"), position 14 and position 15
must also be designated with "0" or any other value. In case, all positions behind data
position 12 are only "0" they will be omitted.
The following apply for coding the capacitance values in the 2nd and 3rd data block:

In accordance with the Siemens regulations, a variable figure is marked by a "0", in this
case the code figure for the rated voltage (refer to para. 23.4.). and a special code
figure (refer to para. 23.6.). A code letter is replaced by "+", coding the 12th data
position, the tolerance.
The tolerance code letters available are to be found on page 32, para. 5.2.

22.6. Digit 15 (special versions)
By means of this code figure, different versions or special characteristics of types are
distinguished. The meaning of this code figure is stated for the actual types. A 7 in this
digit position designates types packaged on continuous tapes; a 6 is provided for capacitors wound on a cylinder (see page 47, para. 19.). If there is not any defined statement
to be made in position 15, a "zero" has to appear in position 15.

23. Examples for the compiling of part numbers
A DIN specification for an axial-leaded capacitor of climatic category HSG (- 25°C to
+ 70 °C/-1 3 OF to +158 OF, high reliability version) is in accordance with para. 9 of the

833074

Tubular, axial-leaded capacitor with molded capsule and epoxy end fill. *
The capacitor can be used at temperatures between - 40° and + 85°C as resonant circuit capacitor in
RF, IF and carrier frequency filters (telecommunication) because of its low dissipation factor and sufficiently high stability. Negative temperature coefficient. Best protection against humidity or chemical
effects is obtained by the plastic-sealed face ends. Due to an upper category temperature of 85°C
(185°F), the capacitor is suitable for use in printed circuits.

Multilayer Capacitors

6. Technical explanation
6.1. Class 1 dielectrics
The dielectric materials are defined in the EIA and MIL standards. They mainly consist of
Ti0 2 and additives of BaO, La 2 0 3 , or Nd 2 0 5 , and have an almost linear temperature coefficient (TC).
6.1.1. COG (NPO) capacitors
COG capacitors belong to the class 1 dielectrics. They have a TC of (O± 30) x 10-6/K for a
temperature range between -55 'C and +125 'C.
These capacitors are applied in circuits where stability and minimum dissipation are required, e. g. in filter and resonant circuits.
Characteristics:
• No capacitance change due to aging
• Minor dissipation ~ 0.15% (at 1 MHz)
• Negligible capacitance and dissipation factor dependence of voltage and frequency
6.2 Class 2 dielectrics
Dielectric materials with higher permittivity (dielectric constant) require ferroelectric ceramics on a BaTi0 3 basis. Their capacitance does not linearly depend on the temperature and
their characteristics are less stable.
6.2.1. X7R capacitors
They are mainly suitable for coupling and filtering where no particular requirements as regards stability and dissipation factor are to be met.
Characteristics:
15% capacitance change in a temperature range between -55 'c and +125
• Capacitance decrease per time decade approximately 2% (aging)
• Dissipation factor ~ 25 x 10-3
• High packing density

• ±

'c

6.2.2. Z5U capacitors
Mainly suitable for coupling and filtering tasks
Characteristics:
• +22% to -56% capacitance change in a temperature range between +10 'C and +85 'C
• Capacitance decrease per time decade approximately 5% (aging)
• Dissipation factor ~ 30 x 10-3
• Very high packing density

6.1. Characteristics
• High dielectric withstanding voltage
(dielectric strength)
• Low temperature drift
• Polarity independence
• High volume capacitance
6.2. Screening effect, coupling capacitance
The outer layer of SIBATIT capacitors screens the inner layer and can be identified by
means of the external leads. When employing these capacitors in filters and filter circuits
the outer layer is recommended, if possible, to be placed where no RF potential exists. This
arrangement is to avoid damaging stray capacitance.

MKV and MKP Capacitors
General Technicallnforrnation

The resulting separated area (isolated circle) is highly resistive and voltage proof for any operational requirement of the capacitor. Since time and energy dissipated for the self-healing
procedure are extremely low, the capacitor remains fully operable during breakdowns. The
potential drop ofthe capacitors is negligible for all heavy current applications.
The self-healing capability is subject to an uppervoitage limit, which depends on the version.
For Siemens capacitors, this limit lies above the peak voltages to be expected from mains
(approx. three times the rated voltage).
The number of possible breakdowns is virtually unlimited. An actual limit is, however, given by
the pressure inside the capacitor during breakdowns (refer also to section 7, overload protection).
Taking application in pulse-sensitive circuits into consideration, MP capacitors for dc application are designed such that under maximum continuous voltage load at the upper category
temperature less than 2 self-healing processes will occur per I1F throughout the first year.
Subsequently, these processes occur less frequently. MPcapacitors showing this feature are
designated MPJ capacitors in accordance with the regulations of VDE 0560, part 14, and DIN
41180.
The self-healing capability of MP capacitors is not bound to maintaining certain limit conditions (in accordance with DIN 41180 operating voltage: at least 20 V; energy level: at least
2I1WS) since an electro-chemical self-healing process takes place, when the voltage falls below20 V.

3. Construction
3.1. Contacting
The large area metallization over the winding endil as well as welded or soldered leads ensure
reliable contacting between layers and terminations. Moreover, low inductance and low
damping characteristics are obtained.

3.1.1. Resistance to surges i/G
The capacitance-specific current (i/G) compiles with the voltage variation per time unit
(du/dt). The maximum value (du/dt)max. of this voltage rate of rise depends on the peak current carrying capacity of the contacting. For relevant data please refer to the specific data
sheets. The maximum permissible peak current lcan be calculated according to the formula:
1= G x (du/dt)max.

3.2. Versions
The capacitor windings of MP capacitors for dc application and MKV capacitors for ac application are housed in cases, such as
aluminum cases with axial leads (cartridges)
tubular cases with flat solder plugs
in tubular cases with screwtermihals or
heavy duty two-pin flat plugs
A flame-retardent material (e.g. epoxy resin) is used for sealing the capacitor windings of
MKP capacitors in plastic cases, such as
tubular cases with or without threaded bolt,
with flat solder plug or cable connection.

Category voltage Vc (at dc operation)
The category voltage Vc is the maximum voltage that may be applied continuously to a capacitor. It is independent of the ambient temperature. Up to the ambient temperature of 40°C/
104° F Vc equals VR. At higher ambient temperatures Vc is less than VR. MP capacitors for dc
application may be used at accordingly decreased voltages up to + 85° Cj185° F (see fig. 3)
(definition according to DIN 41180).

General Technical Information

The peak voltage Up is the maximum peak voltage, which may be applied to the capacitor for
intermittent operation and only occasionally, e.g. at switching processes. Peak voltage operation decisively influences the capacitor life.

Resistance to overload
Because of the self-healing characteristic, MKV and MKP capacitors can withstand, without
damage, voltage peaks up to 3 times the rated voltage, e.g. during switching processes.

Dielectric strength, user's test
The tests may be repeated once by the user.

Directvoltage loading
Direct voltage operation is permitted at the level of the rated alternating voltage peak values.
Higher voltages on request.

4.2.3. M KV capacitors for power electronics
The rated voltage (UR) is the peak voltage value which is indicated upon the capacitor.
The peak-to-peak voltage (Upp ) is the
sum of positive and negative voltage amplitudes at polarity changing load.

Maximum peak voltage Up
The maximum peak voltage Up is a measure for the dielectric strength of the
capacitor for the dielectric strength of
the capacitor without taking into account, however, the load limit with regard to the thermal stability.

Dielectric strength test
The capacitors are designed such that 80% of the tests, indicated on the data sheets, may be
repeated.

Direct voltage loading
Direct voltage operation is permitted at the level of the rated voltage values (UR). Higher
voltages on request.

MKV and MKP Capacitors
General Technical Information

Important aspects ofthis test are:
a) The type test must be performed by a device finished or produced in series, and not with a
provisional, experimental arrangement.
b) The temperature should not be measured before thermal equilibrium has been achieved,
. for which occasionally several hours could be necessary.
c) The outer supply lines to the capacitor must be designed such that any heat flow into the
capacitor is reliably avoided. It is, therefore, recommended to take care that the choosen
design ofthe supply lines ensures heat removal from the capacitor terminals.
5.1. Reactive power N
The operation-dependent reactive power (N) can be calculated as follows:
a) at sinusoidal alternating voltage operation:

N = 2 x n x C x U2

X

f

U = rms value ofthe sinusoidal voltage
f = frequency
C = capacitance
b) at non-sinusoidal alternating voltage load:
Each periodically changing voltage U (t) of any shape of the amplitude results from superposition of sine voltages, whose frequencies are integral multiples (v) of the basic frequency f
(Fourier's analysis). The total reactive power is the sum ofthe reactive power values ofthe individual sinusoidal voltages.

5.2. Dissipation factor ta n 8

General Technical Information

7.1. Switch-off systems
7.1.1. Capacitors in aluminum cases
The wound unit ofthe capacitor (1) is held in the case by a winding crimp (2) and a holding disc
(3). The break wire (4, part of the fuse) is soldered to the break point (5) at the bottom edge of
the wound unit. The break wire is tightened to one ofthe two feed-throughs (6) in the cover (7)
of the case. The cover itself rests on the cover crimp (8). Both crimps are folded causing the
case to be elongated by about 8 mm when the crimps open, thereby breaking the wire and
cutting offthe capacitor winding from the current source.
The basic construction of the capacitor case with make-and-break fuse is shown in figure 10.

10. Self-inductance
The self-inductance of MP or MKV capacitors results from inductances of the leads and the
winding. The self-inductance is particularly low, because of a special contacting method
(large area metallization joining all windings). Hence the resonant frequency is accordingly
high.

Voltage and current characteristic

Circuit diagram

Damping capacitors are ac capacitors that are connected in parallel with semiconductor components
to suppress or attenuate undesired voltage peaks. The capacitors are periodically charged and/or discharged, whereby the peak value of the ocurring current substantially exceeds the rms value.
Damping capacitors are in addition to the sine-halfwave voltage load subject to periodic voltage peaks
from the carrier storage effect and to harmonics in case of phase control circuits.
Main features: high voltage stability
high peak current carrying capacity
reliability

Leakage current

As voltage-dependent dielectrics are used forthe Y capacitors, a leakage
current of 0.5 mA per arm is ensured at 250 V, 50 Hz.

Attenuation

The ability of attenuating unsymmetric interference as well as symmetric
interference voltage part is an important factor for a powerful EMI
suppression. Particularly the filter series B, C, and D ensure a high,
symmetric suppression effect already from 150 kHz on due to a suitable
selection of the component.

General Information

There is thus a clear relationship between PTe resistance and temperature. Under those
conditions, the PTe thermistor is able to carry out measuring and regulating tasks in the
region of the steep rise in resistance. The most important application in this respect is
protecting electrical machines from excess temperatures. A rangeof PTe thermistors with
operating temperature ratings of between 60 and 1800 e is available for this purpose.

4.2 PTe thermistors as self-regulating thermostats
If a PTe thermistor is exposed to a field strength of the order of 10 V Imm it will experience
a rise in temperature above its reference temperature. This results in a balanced temperature
which is almost independent of the ambient temperature. Owing to its positive temperature
coefficient, the power consumption of the PTe thermistor will increase with a drop in
temperature and, conversely, will decrease with an increase in temperature. This thermostat
effect results in a temperature stabilization with stabilization factors (t.{}1 t.{}ext) between
5 and 10 in a room which is enclosed by PTe thermistors. Even with regard to changes of the
operating voltage, the stabilization mechanism will be effective. If the operating voltage
increases, the PTe thermistor initially consumes correspondingly more power, but, as a result,
its temperature increases anq thus the current becomes stabilized at a lower level. The
performance (and thus the temperature) in the voltage range in question is therefore not
proportional to the square ofthe voltage, as it is the case with an ohmic resistance, but rather
is proportional to a considerably smaller power ofthe voltage which may be estimated at an
exponent of 0.1 (P = Vo.,). In other words: the power consumed is virtually independent of
the voltage within a wide voltage range.

General Information

If ambient conditions remain constant, the current-voltage characteristic curve approximates
a hyperbola since the power comsumed between approximately 6 and 30 V/mm is almost
independent of the voltage. Various "hyperbolas of equal power" apply to various ambient
. conditions. On this basis, it is possible to define whether the PTe thermistor is operating
in air or liquid, and whether the surrounding medium is stationary or flowing.
4.4 PTe thermistors as switching elements in delay circuits
If a voltage is applied to a PTe thermistor in order to heat it above reference temperature,
the time taken to reach the reference temperature and the high resistance state will depend
upon the initial power. By appropriately selecting the voltage, series resistance, size of the
PTe thermistor, reference temperature, and heat capacity it is possible to vary the "switching
time" within wide limits. The following equation serves as an approximation for ts:
c . Il . vol ({teef - {to)

Volume of the PTe thermistor [cm 3 ]
Reference temperature of the PTe thermistor [0C]
PTe thermistor temperature before voltage is applied [0C]
Initial heating power of the PTe thermistor [W]

An approximate value of the heat power developed in the PTe thermistor until the reference
temperature is reached is given by the following equation:

V

Operating voltage [V]

Value ofthe series resistance [n].

The product of c . Il is with our PTe thermistor material approximately 3 W . s/K . cm 3 , thus
resulting in:
t = 3 . vol· ({tref - {to) (R s + Rof
s
V2 • Ro
After the time ts which starts when applying the voltage V- has passed, the network of PTe
thermistor and series resistor, which by comparison has a low resistance when being cold,
will have reached a value of approximately 100 times the previous resistance and the
current will have reduced by the same factor.
Application examples of delay circuits:
• Degaussing of color picture tubes
• Delay of relay circuits
• Control ofthe auxiliary starting phase of ac motors

General Information

5. Quality specifications
A production lot of components is not released until a hundred percentage test and an
additional random sampling test (before delivery to the customer) have been carried out. The
slipping through of defective components is statistically described by the so-called AQL values
(acceptable quality level). Since the defective production batches are again subject to a
hundred percentage test, the rejection rate will be as small as possible, that the actual number
of defective components delivered lies clearly below the AOL values which we specify. For
random sampling tests carried out by the user, we recommed to observe the random sampling
test plans below, and to consider the acceptance characteristic curves corresponding to the
random sample amount:
MIL 105 D, DIN 40080.
The principles of statistics have to be applied when judging the quality of the components
delivered.
5.1 Quality of components delivered

The quality of components delivered is specified by the AOL values as follows:
Defect type

Defects in cases and leads

5.2 Definition of the defects

For each defect class, for which an AOL value has been determined, only the number of
defective units (defective in respect of one or more characteristics within this defect class) is
taken into account, i. e. a defective component is counted only once.
5.3 Hundred percent defects (decisive defects)

In case of a hundred percent defect, any functional application of the component is impossible
or at least considerably impaired.
Criteria:
• Short circuit
• Contact break
• Serious discrepancy in characteristics
• Broken leads
• Broken cases
• Incorrect type marking
5.4 Major defects

In case of a major defect, the serviceability of the component is noticeably impaired.
Criteria:
• Considerable exceeding of electrical characteristics
• Considerable exceeding of mechanical characteristics
Exceeding these characteristics does not lead to hundred percent defects.

Thermostat Heating Elements
Explanitory Comments

"Dynamic" and "stationary" heating power
The electrical powers converted in the PTe thermistor are fundamental as regards the design
of a particular heating system. However, these values are considerably influenced by the
construction of the heating system. By specifying Pdyn and Pst,t it is possible to differentiate
between the individual version of PTe thermistors.

Pdyn : Electrical power converted in the PTe thermistor after turning on.
Pstat : Stationary final power after completion of the heating process.
Functional description
Owing to the thermostat effect and the design ofthe heating system which shows good heat
conducting characteristics, the heat dissipated by the PTe thermistor is used to boil the water
after turning on (1). The power equilibrium which results due to the high degree of heat
extraction, causes the system to operate at a constant high heating power until all the water
has boiled away (2). After this, the PTe thermistor reduces its power consumption until it
remains steady at a final value 10 times less than the previous one (3).

Questionnaire for Ordering New PTe Thermistors

PTe thermistors for special applications
The variety of possible applications for PTC thermistors extends well beyond the individual
applications stated in the data sheets. The PTC thermistors listed in the tables only constitute
a part of the range of the types available and are intended to provide a survey of basic PTC
thermistor characteristics which may be varied widely depending upon manufacturing
conditions. This ensures that PTC thermistors can be precisely matched to the requirements
of each particular application.

Thus, if you have not found the "PTC thermistor" for your particular new applications please
complete the enclosed technical questionnaire and send it to the following address:

Inthe caseofthe precision NTCthermistors M841, M843, M846, M847, M867, an extremely close
resistance tolerance over a wide temperature range is achieved by special selection ofthe NTC

General Technical Information

2.2.2 Voltage-current characteristic curve

If a constant electric power is supplied tothe NTCthermistor, then its temperature will first vary
considerably, butthe rate of change decreases with time. After a certain period, a steady state is
reached in which the power applied is dissipated into the environment by thermal conduction
or thermal radiation.

If the voltage values obtained at a constant temperature are plotted versus the current,
then the result will be the voltage-current characteristic curve ofthe NTC thermistor. Equations
(8a) and (8b) are the parameter description ofthat characteristic curve, with the aid of which it
is possible to calculate the voltage-current characteristic curves of various ambient
temperatures or to draw them graphically in a double logarithmic coordinate system. [In this
case, the curves of equal power (P = const.) and the curves of equal resistance value
(R = const.) become straight lines at an angle of 45°.]

2.3 Externally heated NTC thermistors
Externally heated NTCs consist of a bead-shaped NTC thermistor onto which the glass carrier
of a heater helix is melted. With the help ofthat glass carrier, the heater is electrically isolated
from the NTC, but it still has a good thermal contact with the latter. A current flowing through
the heater helix controls the NTC thermistor resistance.
Externally heated NTC thermistors are mainly used for level regulation in carrier frequency
systems and generally as current-dependent, controllable resistors in measuring and
regulating systems.

General Technical Information

3.2 Installation notes
3.2.1 Soldering
In accordance with DIN 44070, the following maximum temperatures and times must be
observed when soldering at the NTC thermistor leads.
Dip soldering
Bath temperature 260°C - soldering time 4 s
Iron soldering
Iron temperature 360°C - soldering time 2 s
Unless otherwise specified, soldering should not be carried out less than 6 mm away from
the NTC body. If the soldering conditions are more seVere, resistance changes must be
expected. In the case of NTC thermistors without leads, soldering is only possible with certain
restrictions. Due to the temperature shock when the hot solder is applied, fine cracks may
occur in the ceramic body and result in resistance changes.
In order to prevent removal of the silver layer from the ceramic disc during soldering, solders
with silver additives or solders with low tin contents should be used.
3.2.2 Mechanical stress on the leads
Twisting (torsion) of the leads by an angle of 180° is only permissible if the distance from the
NTC body is at least 6 m m.
It is not permitted to bend the leads directly at the NTC body.
The wire may be bent at a minimum distance of twice the wire diameter +2mm from the
NTC body. The bending radius must at least be 0,75 mm. Bending of the solder tags or plug
pins is not permissible.
3.2.3 Encapsulation and sealing
If NTC thermistors are to be encapsulated or sealed, care must be taken that no mechanical
stresses are transferred to the NTC. A method which has proved successful is to encapsulate
the NTC with a silicon rubber compound before sealing it with epoxy resins.
In order to prevent a corrosion ofthe NTC contacts, the sealing compound must be chemically
neutral.

Any required voltage variations can be adjusted by means of the division ratio ~, but a

possible loading of the voltage divider must be taken into account. The resistance of the
load takes effect as reduction of R 2 •

3.3.3 Relay delay
Type series A34 has been predominantly developed for delaying relay operation. Those
NTC thermistors permit relay starting and delay times in the range between 0.1 s and several
seconds. However, the delay time td depends considerably on the supply voltage Vap ,
approximately
td ~

1

"V"2
op

to

1

"V"3'
op

and in addition, it is temperature-dependent. Its temperature coefficient is approximately
half that of the NTC thermistor if the following dimensioning rules are observed.
As shown in figure 10, a series connection of NTC thermistor and relay coil is used for delaying
the relay start.

Figure 10

Delay of relay start

When the voltage Vap is connected, the current through the relay coil will be limited to a
fraction of the relay response current by the high resistance of the cold NTC thermistor.
The NTC intrinsic heating causes the NTC resistance value to drop, and the current rises until
response current Iresp of the relay is reached. The following rules should be observed when
dimensioning delay circuits with NTC thermistors (see figure 6).
•

The supply voltage Vap should be at least 1.5 times and at most 6 times the maximum
voltage V, of the NTC voltage-current characteristic curve.

•

The supply voltage Vap should be at least 1.5 times, but if possible, be twice the average
relay starting voltage.

•

The maximum response current
final current value If.

•

The stationary final current If must not be greater than the continuous operating current
IR specified in the data sheets. Should the NTC thermistor be short-circuited or
disconnected after the relay has been started, both, Iresp and If, may be greater than IR
provided that the maximum current I NTcM will not be exceeded.

524

Iresp

of the relay must not exceed 0.8 times the resulting

3.3.5. Parallel connection of NTC thermistors
Parallel connection oftwo or more NTC thermistors is only possible as long as the heating due
to electrical loading is negligible. As soon as the NTC thermistors are driven into the negative
section of the voltage-current characteristic curve, the NTC with the lowest resistance value
will carry most of the current, is thus heated even more, and will finally carry the complete
current amount.

4. Explanation of technical data
4.1. Rated or reference temperature
The terms used in the following technical data for NTC thermistors largely comply with
DIN 44070 "Thermistors, NTC Technical Terms and Tests".
The temperature at which the rated resistance value is specified, is for historical reasons
mostly 20°C. Conversion to 25°C would result in unusual resistance values if interchangeability
with the original types is to be ensured.
As nowadays the reference temperature of 25°C is also used, this technical data introduces
a rated temperature at which the rated resistance value is specified; this being a deviation
from the standard. The rated resistance values specified in the technical data are no-load
resistance values, i. e. the resistance value is measured with such little electrical load that a
further reduction of the load would result in not more than a 0.1 % change of the resistance
value.
526
