Environmental Compliance
As a leading global supplier of electronic components and an environmentally conscious company, KEMET continually works
to improve the environmental effects of the manufacturing process and our nished electronic components.
In Europe (RoHS Directive) and in some other geographical areas such as China China RoHS), legislation has been enacted
to prevent the use of certain hazardous materials including lead (Pb) in electronic equipment. KEMET monitors changes in
legislation worldwide and endeavors to make any necessary changes to its electronic components, as necessary and/or
required by law.
For medical, defense, automotive, and some commercial applications, the use of lead in the termination is necessary and/
or required by design. KEMET is committed to communicating RoHS compliance to our customers. KEMET will provide
information related to RoHS compliance using specic identiers on the packaging labels.
All KEMET power lm capacitors are RoHS compliant.
Materials & Environment
The selection of raw materials used by KEMET for the production of its electronic components is the result of extensive
experience and with specic attention toward environmental protection. KEMET selects its suppliers according to ISO 9001
standards and performs statistical analysis on the raw materials purchased before acceptance for use in the manufacture of
our electronic components. All materials are, to the best of KEMET’s knowledge, non-toxic and free from cadmium, mercury,
chrome and compounds, polychlorine triphenyl (PCB), bromide and chlorinedioxins bromurate clorurate, CFC and HCFC,
and asbestos.
Insulation Resistance
As the capacitor temperature increases, the insulation resistance decreases. This is due to the increased electron activity.
Low insulation resistance can also be the result of moisture trapped in the windings, caused by a prolonged exposure to
excessive humidity.
Dissipation Factor
Dissipation factor is a complex function involved with the ineciency of the capacitor. The tgδ may change up and down
with increased temperature. For more information, please refer to Performance Characteristics.

C4AE, Radial, 2 or 4 Leads, 450 – 1,100 VDC, for DC Link
Sealing
Hermetically Sealed Capacitors
As the temperature increases, the pressure inside the capacitor increases. If the internal pressure is high enough, it can
cause a breach in the capacitor, which can result in leakage, impregnation, lling uid or moisture susceptibility.
Resin Encased/Wrap & Fill Capacitors
The resin seals on resin-encased and wrap-and-ll capacitors will withstand short-term exposure to high humidity
environments without degradation. Resins and plastic tapes will form a pseudo-impervious barrier to humidity and
chemicals. These case materials are somewhat porous and through osmosis can cause contaminants to enter the capacitor.
The second area of contaminated absorption is the lead-wire/resin interface. Since resins cannot bond 100% to tinned wires,
there can be a path formed up to the lead wire into the capacitor section. Aqueous cleaning of circuit boards can aggravate
this condition.
Barometric Pressure
The altitude at which hermetically sealed capacitors are operated, controls the voltage rating of the capacitor. As the
barometric pressure decreases, the susceptibility to terminal arc-over increases. Non-hermetic capacitors can be affected by
internal stresses due to pressure changes. This can be in the form of capacitance changes, or dielectric arc-over, as well as
low insulation resistance. Heat transfer can also be affected by altitude operation. Heat, generated in an operation, cannot
be dissipated properly and can result in high RI2 losses and eventual failure.
Radiation
Radiation capabilities of capacitors must be taken into consideration. Electrical degradation in the form of dielectric
embitterment can take place causing shorts or opens.

Soldering Process
The implementation of the RoHS directive has resulted in the selection of SnAgCu (SAC) alloys or SnCu alloys as primary solder.
This has increased the liquidus temperature from that of 183°C for SnPb eutectic alloy to 217 – 221°C for the new alloys. As a
result, the heat stress to the components, even in wave soldering, has increased considerably due to higher pre-heat and wave
temperatures. Polypropylene capacitors are especially sensitive to heat (the melting point of polypropylene is 160 – 170°C).
Wave soldering can be destructive, especially for mechanically small polypropylene capacitors (with lead spacing of 5 mm to
15 mm), and great care has to be taken during soldering. The recommended solder proles from KEMET should be used. Please
consult KEMET with any questions. In general, the wave soldering curve from IEC Publication 61760–1 edition 2 serves as a solid
guideline for successful soldering. Please see Figure 1.
Reow soldering is not recommended for through-hole lm capacitors. Exposing capacitors to a soldering prole in excess of the
above the recommended limits may result in degradation or permanent damage to the capacitors.
Do not place the polypropylene capacitor through an adhesive curing oven to cure resin for surface mount components. Insert
through-hole parts after the curing of surface mount parts. Consult KEMET to discuss the actual temperature prole in the oven,
if through-hole components must pass through the adhesive curing process. A maximum two soldering cycles is recommended.
Please allow time for the capacitor surface temperature to return to a normal temperature before the second soldering cycle.
Manual Soldering Recommendations
The following is the recommendation for
manual soldering with a soldering iron.
The soldering iron tip temperature should
be set at 350°C (+10°C) maximum with the
soldering duration not to exceed more than 3
seconds.

Selective Soldering Recommendations
Selective dip soldering is a variation of reow soldering. In this method, the printed circuit board with through-hole
components to be soldered is preheated and transported over the solder bath as in normal ow soldering without touching
the solder. When the board is over the bath, it is stopped and pre-designed solder pots are lifted from the bath with molten
solder only at the places of the selected components, and pressed against the lower surface of the board to solder the
components.
The temperature prole for selective soldering is similar to the double wave ow soldering outlined in this document,
however, instead of two baths, there is only one bath with a time from 3 to 10 seconds. In selective soldering, the risk of
overheating is greater than in double wave ow soldering, and great care must be taken so that the parts are not overheated.
