"dV/dt" represents the maximum permissible voltage change per unit of time for non-sinusoidal
voltages, expressed in V/μs.
"k0" represents the maximum permissible pulse characteristic of the waveform applied to the
capacitor, expressed in V2/μs.
Note:
The values of dV/dt and k0 provided below must not be exceeded in order to avoid damaging the
capacitor. These parameters are given for isolated pulses in such a way that the heat generated
by one pulse will be completely dissipated before applying the next pulse. For a train of pulses,
please refer to the curves of permissible AC voltage-current versus frequency.

Maximum AC voltage (VRMS), current (IRMS) versus frequency and temperature for TA >100 °C
The graphs described in the previous section for the permissible AC voltage (VRMS) or current
(IRMS) versus frequency are given for a maximum ambient temperature TA ≤100 ºC. In case of
higher ambient temperatures (TA), the self-heating (ΔT) of the component must be reduced to
avoid that temperature of the component (Top= TA + ΔT) reaches values above maximum
operating [Link] factor FT shall be applied in the following way:
Operation at overvoltages during heating and ignition of lamps (TA ≤40 °C)
In lighting applications, the capacitors can be subjected to overvoltages during the heating and ig-
nition periods. An overvoltage occurs when the operating voltage exceeds the permissible
AC voltage at the resonant frequency fr.
For a repetitive application of on/off switching pulses (as for example in the life tests applied by
electronic ballast manufacturers), limits have to be imposed on the time periods under overvolt-
age and on the duty cycle, in order to keep the capacitance value within the required margins:
The K0 calculated in the overvoltage period (see general technical information) shall be lower
than the maximum K0 provided.
The maximum duty cycle of the overvoltage is given by
and VRMS is the permissible AC voltage for continuous operation at the resonant frequency fr
(given by the “permissible AC voltage versus frequency f” graphics in theprevious pages).
The drift of capacitance depends on the Vpp attained, and the total time under overvoltage,
which is calculated in hours as follows:
(Ni tOV) / 3600
where Ni is the number of overvoltage impulses and tOV is expressed in seconds.
The maximum drift of capacitance as a function of both parameters is provided graphically in the
following pages.

Mounting guidelines
1 Soldering
Before a solderability test is carried out, terminals are subjected to accelerated ageing (to
IEC 60068-2-2, test Ba: 4 h exposure to dry heat at 155 °C). Since the ageing temperature is far
higher than the upper category temperature of the capacitors, the terminal wires should be cut off
from the capacitor before the ageing procedure to prevent the solderability being impaired by the
products of any capacitor decomposition that might occur.
The overheating associated with some of these factors can usually be reduced by suitable coun-
termeasures. For example, if a pre-heating step cannot be avoided, an additional or reinforced
cooling process may possibly have to be included.
Recommendations
As a reference, the recommended wave soldering profile for our film capacitors is as follows:
The table below summarizes the safety instructions that must always be observed. A detailed
description can be found in the relevant sections of the chapters "General technical information"
and "Mounting guidelines".
