> Markings: Capacitors are marked with the following information

Rated capacitance, Rated voltage, product number, name of manufacturer, positive and negative
terminal, warning marking

> Mounting Recommendations:

Cells are designed to be soldered into
series or parallel strings.

Components should not be operated

outside recommended
limits.

Parts can be ordered without tabs.

> Additional Technical Information:

Pd = (0.12 x E2/R d)/M UTT = D Rth Ic2 Rd

E = charge voltage (UR) M = capacitor weight (kg) D = duty cycle

Rd = internal resistance (DC) V = capacitor volume (l) Ic = continuous current
