Hi, On this datasheet: Link: https://industrial.panasonic.com/cdbs/www-data/pdf/RDF0000/ABA0000C1024.pdf Which covers the EEU-EB1J4R7S I believe that the 'S' means short can. Panasonic says: If you are concerned about the leakage current in your application, I would send them back. I have used electrolytic capacitors, from my own inventory, that are much older than that without issue. I have electrolytic capacitors in test equipment that has sat idle for many years and then powered it up, no issues. Jay_Diddy_B |

Yes, I do have the means to measure and regardless of what I believe, it's more important on occasion what my client believe and want, so... |

Thanks Jay_Diddy_B, have been looking for that piece of info. I have as well used old caps with no issues, but it wouldn't feel right to use such for clients. It just wouldn't. |

Hi, when I search ELNA Silmic, I find a lot of links to audiophile applications. [Humour] If this is an audiophile application, It would be foolish to measure anything ... Eight years is barely enough. They should be aged for longer, along with the power cords ... [Humour\] Jay_Diddy_B |

BTW can anyone share knowledge on reading Panasonic date codes - can't seem to find up to date info and they sure didn't follow the YYWW coding? Thank you. |
