AC RIPPLE VOLTAGE-Table 2 gives the maximum
r.m.s. ripple voltage which may be applied
at 100 Hz. The sum of the D.C. voltage
and the peak value of the superimposed alternating
voltage must not exceed the normal
rated voltage and no inadmissible reverse polarity
must occur.
LEAKAGE CURRENT-Maximum Leakage Current
I}.LF (after 3 minutes at rated voltage with
1,000 n series resistance). .
IMPEDANCE-Measured at 10 KHz and 25°C.
DISSIPATION FACTOR-(tangent of loss angle:,
tan defined by tan = 2-fRC, is measured
at a frequency of 120 Hz at room temperature,
25°C. Dissipation Factor is 10% Max.

Environment & Mechanical Properties
HUMIDITY - Capacitors are tested after exposure
to a maximum humidity of 95 % at 40°C
for 21 days with no voltage applied.
LEAD STRENGTH-Leads are capable of withstanding
a pull of .12 oz for 10 seconds and
can tolerate three 90 degree bends without
failure.
MOUNTING & SOLDERING-TAM capacitors
can be dip-soldered with a maximum bath
temperature of 270°C. Acid flux is not suitable
and can damage the units. Soldering time
should not exceed 3 seconds and the cases
of the units should not be dipped to closer
than '/." of the bath su rface·.
When bending leads, no stress should be applied
to the case. Avoid mounting adjacent to
heat radiating components.
Protective Circuit Resistance
The failure rate of TAM capacitors will be
A = 4.2 X 16-" h-, at 3 Ohm/voltage circuit
resistance 85°C and rated voltage
Any lower resistance will increase the failure
rate. This can be compensated by voltage
derating.
