### Selection guide

Start with the AC or DC waveform and the resonant mission profile. Then check voltage basis, capacitance, dV/dt, peak and RMS current, frequency, hot-spot rise, fault response, lifetime and dimensions.

1. **Define the waveform and mission profile**
   Specify DC bias, AC fundamental, peak voltage, rise and fall time, dV/dt, repetition rate, RMS current, harmonics, start-up or ignition, open-load and abnormal transients, together with ambient temperature, cooling and service hours.
2. **Select voltage and capacitance**
   The series covers 400/500/700/900 VAC, paired with 1,000/1,200/1,600/2,000 VDC, at 1–100 nF. Do not substitute one rating basis for the other; request the specification for any other rating.
3. **Calculate pulse, resonance and temperature rise**
   Use Ipk = C·dV/dt and the measured spectrum to calculate peak, repetitive and RMS current, and check them against the dV/dt, K0, ESR, ESL, impedance, resonance, thermal-resistance and frequency-derating data (on request).
4. **Check construction, fault response and lifetime**
   Check the electrode stack, internal series connection, self-healing behavior and fault response of the selected part number, together with its AC and pulse endurance, humidity and overload test data.
5. **Confirm dimensions and assembly**
   Match voltage, capacitance, tolerance, W/H/T, lead spacing, lead form, packing and soldering profile to the part number. Do not use reflow soldering; validate lead forming and vibration.

### Design notes

#### Keep AC and DC ratings separate

Each AC rating is paired with a DC rating, without waveform, frequency or lifetime correlation. Use the rating that matches the application; do not convert by a simple peak or RMS ratio.

#### Do not assume self-healing from double metallization

Double-sided metallization can be built with different carrier films, internal series structures and margins. Before relying on self-healing, fail-open behavior or overload capability, request the construction and fault-response data of the selected part.

#### Calculate resonant current from the measured spectrum

Measure the actual voltage and current spectrum, including ignition and abnormal modes. Combine I = C·dV/dt with RMS current, ESR and thermal resistance to verify hot-spot rise and resonance margin.

#### Define the ballast mission profile

Record switching frequency, ignition pulse, lamp-open and end-of-life behavior, enclosure temperature and target service hours. Validate the selected part number over the complete operating sequence.

#### Ratings outside the standard range

For other voltage ratings, values above 100 nF or below 1 nF, or 7.5 and 27.5 mm lead spacing, request the part specification, drawing and qualification report. Do not extrapolate.

#### Control assembly and mechanical support

Apply the PP/PE soldering limits to the actual construction and do not use reflow soldering. Keep lead-forming stress away from the epoxy seal, and validate cleaning, coating, vibration and thermal cycling, especially for the 26 mm body.
