Detailed Specifications For Series SMH
• Snap Mount
Large Capacitance
High CV
High Ripple
+85°C Maximum Temperature

The SMH series capacitors are the standard 85°C, large capacitance, snap-in capacitors from United Chemi-Con. The load life for the SMH series is 2,000 hours at 85°C with the rated ripple current applied. The very high CV values and ripple current capabilities make these capacitors ideal for use in power supply filter circuits. The standard mounting style for the SMH series is a snap-in, 2-terminal configuration. Alternate 3, 4, and 5 pin terminal styles are available upon request.

The standard SMH capacitors are non-solvent proof and are not recommended when halogenated cleaning solvents are used. Refer to the Mini-Glossary for recommended cleaning conditions.

Load Life The following specifications shall be satisfied when the capacitors are restored to +20°C after subjecting them to the DC rated voltage for 2,000 hours at +85°C with the rated ripple current applied. The sum of DC voltage and peak AC voltage must not exceed the full rated voltage of the capacitors.

Capacitance change : <= ±20% of initial measured value
Tan d (DF) : <= 200% of initial specified value Leakage current : <= initial specified value

Shelf Life The following specifications shall be satisfied when the capacitors are restored to +20°C after exposing them for 1,000 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% of initial measured value
