1. Capacitance Change of Capacitors (1) For SL char. Capacitance might change a little depending on a surrounding temperature or an applied voltage. Please contact us if you use a strict constant time circuit. (2) For B/E/F char. Capacitors have an aging characteristic, whereby the capacitor continually decreases its capacitance slightly if the capacitor is left on for a long time. Moreover, capacitance might change greatly depending on the surrounding temperature or an applied voltage. Therefore, it is not likely to be suitable for use in a constant time circuit. Please contact us if you need detailed information. 2. Performance Check by Equipment Before using a capacitor, check that there is no problem in the equipment's performance and the specifications. Generally speaking, CLASS 2 (B/E/F char.) ceramic capacitors have voltage dependence characteristics and temperature dependence characteristics in capacitance, so the capacitance value may change depending on the operating condition in the equipment. Therefore, be sure to confirm the apparatus performance of receiving influence in the capacitance value change of a capacitor, such as leakage current and noise suppression characteristic. Moreover, check the surge-proof ability of a capacitor in the equipment, if needed, because the surge voltage may exceed specific value by the inductance of the circuit.
