While the capacitors may withstand continuous application of 1.5 V reverse voltage, exceeding that can damage the capacitor by overheating, overpressure, and dielectric breakdown.
Owing to this film, it is said that the cathode foil will have the withstand voltage of about 1 to 1.5 V at room temperature. Since this film is not uniform, but unstable, and shows dispersion partly or for each lot, no guarantee is given to the withstand voltage of cathode.
