KMG Series Miniature Radial Lead Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

When mounting KMG series capacitors, consider these important guidelines for optimal performance:

PCB Layout Considerations

Due to the space-saving design of the KMG series, PCB layout becomes critical. Ensure adequate spacing for thermal management and avoid placing heat-generating components nearby.

Thermal Management

Although compact, these capacitors still generate heat during operation. Ensure adequate copper area for heat dissipation, especially in high-power applications.

Mechanical Stress

As with all electrolytic capacitors, minimize mechanical stress from board bending or vibration. The compact design may be more sensitive to external forces.

FAE Note: The KMG series is ideal for applications where board space is at a premium but standard performance parameters are sufficient. For applications requiring enhanced ripple capability, consider the KY series in a larger case size.
