Detailed Specifications For Series SXE
• Miniature
• Solvent Proof
• Low Impedance
• Large Capacitance
• +105°C Maximum Temperature

The SXE series capacitors are designed for use in low impedance situations at high frequencies, switching power supplies for example. These capacitors have many characteristics that make them ideal for these situations, including a wide temperature range, large capacitance values and long life.

The SXE series capacitors were developed to withstand HCFC cleaning agents for five minutes by ultrasonic, vapor or immersion. This solvent proof design allows all circuit board components to be cleaned together, at the same time, without resorting to more expensive epoxy end-sealed capacitors. Refer to the Mini-Glossary for recommended cleaning conditions.

Item Characteristics
Operating Temperature Range -55 to +105°C
Rated Voltage Range 6.3 to 100VDC
Capacitance Range 1.5 to 15,000µF
Capacitance Tolerance ±20% (M) at +20°C, 120Hz
Leakage Current I = 0.03CV after 1 minute at +20°C. I = 0.01CV after 2 minutes at +20°C.

Where I = Leakage current (µA), C = Nominal capacitance (µF) and V = Rated voltage (V)

Dissipation Factor (Tan d) At +20°C, 120Hz
Rated Voltage (V) 6.3 10 16 25 35 50 63 80 100
Tan d (DF) 0.22 0.19 0.16 0.14 0.12 0.1 0.08 0.08 0.07

When nominal capacitance exceeds 1,000µF, add 0.02 to the values above for each 1,000µF increase.
