Cautions and warnings
11
Do not apply excessive force to the leads and terminals. Do not move the capacitor after sol-
dering it onto the PC board and do not carry the PC board by gripping the capacitor. Observe
the following rules to prevent undue stress to the capacitor:
a Do not tilt or bend the capacitor after soldering.
b Ensure that the terminal spacing matches the corresponding hole spacing on the PC
board.

The aluminum case is not insulated from the cathode. Do not place a conductor under the
aluminum capacitors on the PC board as this may cause a short circuit. The case and top of
capacitors used in switched mode power supplies have a high-voltage-resistant heat shrink
sleeve to ensure safe usage.
The leads of capacitors with a case diameter exceeding 14 mm cannot be used for fixing.
