Detailed Specifications For Series U36D
• Large Can
• Screw Terminal
• +85°C General Purpose
• High Ripple Current Capability
• Extended Voltage Range to 550VDC
• Dimensions in Inches
The U36D series is ideal for inverter applications requiring high ripple current capabilities. With the extended voltage range through 550 volts, the number of capacitors in series can now be reduced. All dimensions are based on the original 36D case sizes which are in inches. A stud mount can is available upon request. capacitors. Refer to the Mini-Glossary for recommended cleaning conditions.
Item Characteristics
Operating Temperature Range -40 to +85°C
Rated Voltage Range 6.3 to 550VDC
Capacitance Range 68µF to 2.2F at +25°C, 120HzCapacitance Tolerance±20% (M) at +25°C, 120Hz
Leakage Current I = 0.02CV or 5µA, whichever is smaller, after 5 minutes at +25°C.

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

Life Validation Test The following specifications shall be satisfied when the capacitors are restored to +25°C after subjecting them to the DC rated voltage for 2,000 hours at +85°C with the rated ripple current applied.

Capacitance change : <= 20% from initial measurement
ESR change : <= 300% of initial specified limit Leakage current : <= initial specified limit

Shelf Test The following specifications shall be satisfied when the capacitors are restored to +25°C after exposing them for 500 hours at +85°C without voltage applied. The rated voltage shall be applied to the capacitors for a minimum of 30 minutes, at least 24 hours and not more than 48 hours before the measurements.

Capacitance change : <= 20% from initial measurement
ESR change : <= 300% of initial specified limit
Leakage current : <= initial specified limit
