6SW100M - Rubycon

6SW100M Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended derating for the 6SW100M capacitor?
  Rubycon recommends derating the capacitor's voltage rating by 10-20% to ensure reliable operation and to account for voltage spikes or surges in the circuit.
• How does the 6SW100M capacitor handle high-frequency noise?
  The 6SW100M capacitor is designed to handle high-frequency noise and has a self-resonant frequency of around 100 kHz. However, it's recommended to use a series resistor or an inductor to filter out high-frequency noise and prevent resonance.
• Is the 6SW100M capacitor suitable for high-temperature applications?
  The 6SW100M capacitor has a maximum operating temperature of 105°C, but it's recommended to derate the capacitor's voltage and current ratings at higher temperatures to ensure reliable operation. Consult Rubycon's temperature derating chart for more information.
• Can the 6SW100M capacitor be used in a DC-DC converter application?
  Yes, the 6SW100M capacitor is suitable for use in DC-DC converter applications due to its low ESR and high ripple current rating. However, it's essential to ensure that the capacitor is properly sized and derated for the specific application to prevent overheating and premature failure.
• What is the recommended soldering temperature and time for the 6SW100M capacitor?
  Rubycon recommends a soldering temperature of 250-260°C and a soldering time of 3-5 seconds to prevent damage to the capacitor. It's also essential to use a soldering iron with a temperature control and to avoid applying excessive force or pressure to the capacitor during soldering.
