AFK228M25P44VT-F - Cornell Dubilier

AFK228M25P44VT-F Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended soldering temperature and time for this capacitor?
  The recommended soldering temperature is 260°C (500°F) with a maximum soldering time of 3-5 seconds. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's soldering guidelines to prevent damage to the capacitor.
• Can I use this capacitor in a high-vibration environment?
  The AFK228M25P44VT-F is designed to meet the requirements of IEC 60384-16 for vibration, but it's still important to consult with the manufacturer or a qualified engineer to ensure the capacitor can withstand the specific vibration levels and frequencies in your application.
• How does the capacitor perform in high-humidity environments?
  The AFK228M25P44VT-F has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 2, which means it can withstand a maximum of 24 hours of exposure to 30°C (86°F) and 60% relative humidity. However, it's recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for humidity protection and consider additional measures if your application exceeds these conditions.
• What is the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of this capacitor?
  The ESR of the AFK228M25P44VT-F is not explicitly stated in the datasheet, but it can be estimated based on the capacitor's construction and materials. A typical ESR value for a similar capacitor would be around 10-20 mΩ. However, it's recommended to consult with the manufacturer or a qualified engineer for a more accurate estimate.
• Can I use this capacitor in a DC-DC converter or switching power supply?
  The AFK228M25P44VT-F is a general-purpose capacitor, but it may not be suitable for high-frequency switching applications due to its relatively high ESR and ESL (equivalent series inductance). It's recommended to consult with the manufacturer or a qualified engineer to determine the capacitor's suitability for your specific application.
