SME series

The SME series capacitors are our standard general purpose capacitors.These radial lead capacitors are available in a wide range of voltage and capacitance ratings and are designed for a load life of 2,000 hours at 85 with an operating temperature range of -40 to +85.The SME series capacitors,except for those rated at 350-450 volts,were developed to withstand HCFC cleaning agents for five minutes by iltrasonic,vapor or immersion.This solvent proof design allows all circuit board components to be cleaned together.At the same time,without resorting to moreexpensive epoxy end-sealed capacitors.Refer to the mini-glossary for recommended cleaning conditions.

The SME series have four features:miniature,general purpose,solvent proof and +85 maximum temperature.Specifictions are also very important:(1)redial lead terminals;(2)capacitance range:0.1 to 15,000 uF;(3)voltage range:6.3 to 450 VDC;(4)operating temperature range:-40 to +85 for 6.3 to 400 VDC;-25 to +85 for 450 VDC;(5)leakage current:see specifications table for leakage current values at +20;(6)standard capacitance tolerance:+/-20%;(7)nominal case size(D x L):5 x 11mm to 18 x 40mm;(8)rated lifetime:2,000 hours at +85.
