(9) The stated maximum peak current should not be exceeded during use. If the limit is to be exceeded by the customer, Skeleton must be consulted beforehand and give approval for the exceeded power load. Typical value represents the mean production sample value Rated value represents the absolute minimum capacitance or maximum ESR value of production sample.
*Power values calculated using DC 10ms ESR ≈ AC 100Hz.
