1) SERIES
Series Names

2) RATED VOLTAGE
Rated working voltage is shown in lists

3) TERMINAL TYPE
The following code is used for each terminal type:
Miniature: Large Size:
VB=Radial Lead Type VN= Snap-in type terminal
T=Axial Lead Type VR= Pin type terminal
Surface Mount: LI = Blade type terminal
FC = MF/MFK series surface mount type VH= 2-lead radial lead type for RZ, RZA, RZL
FD = MF/MFK series surface mount type with dummy and GX-VH series.
terminal for mechanic support. VG= 3-lead radial lead type for RZ and RZA series
VC = MV/MVK series surface mount type.
Screw Type:
LG= Screw-insert type terminal
LH= Bolt type terminal

4) CAPACITANCE
Expressed in micro farads (µf) and 3-digit codes. For less than 100µf, "R" is used as decimal point.
For 100µf and more, 3 digits are combined with first 2 digits of capacitance value and third digit meaning the number of zeroes. (eg., R10=0.10µf, 1R0=1.0µf, 101= 100µf, 102=1000µf.

5) CAPACITANCE TOLERANCE
The following codes are used;
K= 10% T= -10~+50%
M= 20% U= -10~+75%
Q= -10~+30% W=-10~+100%

6) CASE SIZE
Indicates capacitor’s case size with the code of DxL (Diameter x Length) in millimeters (mm). The case size Dx L is shown in the case size tables for each series, and meab nominal case size, but not maximum case size.
For the case size code used for Part numbering system, usually decimals are dropped from the diameter (D) and the length (L) shown in the Case Size tables, and "X" is put in between the diameter (D) and the length (L) without a space.
For most of surface mount type, the DxL code is not used. Use the size code specified on each surface mount series.

7) LEAD CONFIGURATION
Indicates the lead configuration for the radial lead (VB) and the axial lead (T) types. Our standard cut/formed leads and taping shown on page 7-10 are available upon request.
LL = Standard long lead wire .
Also ,used as the code showing a standard terminal besides radial and axial lead types.
CC = Cut lead wire
FC = Formed cut lead wire
MC = Snap-in cut lead wire
FM = Snap-in cut lead wire formed to different lead space
TP = Tape and reel for axial leads or surface mount.
For axial leads, specify TP CODE
FT = Ammo pack taping for radial leads, recommended.
MT = Reel pack taping with the negative lead leading for radial leads
PT = Reel pack taping with the positive lead leading for radial leads
For radial leads , specify Lead Space (F) and H Dimension
