Mounting RIFA caps upside-down

Atilla · 16th September 2011, 11:18 AM

The PEH169 and PEH200 types of caps. They've got a pressure relief vent on the top. I shouldn't have problems with mounting them upside-down, right? I don't plan on making them have to burst the safety vent either

Unghhh..

"The capacitor can be mounted upright or inclined to a horizontal position."

I'm guessing if they put that in the datasheet they had something in mind. There goes my design idea.
