Wet Tantalum with Hermetic Seal
FEATURES
Vishay SuperTan
®
Extended (STE) represents a major
breakthrough in wet tantalum capacitor technology. Its
unique cathode system, also used in the ST, provides the
highest capacitance per unit volume available. The STE
combines the inherent reliability of wet tantalum with the
capacitance stability of solid tantalum, and there are no
circuit impedance restrictions. The range is exceptionally
well suited for low voltage filtering and energy storage
applications. Ideal for designs targeting the military and
aerospace industry.
The SuperTan
®
Extended (STE) is housed in an all tantalum,
hermetically sealed case and is manufactured to withstand
high stress and hazardous environments.
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Operating Temperature:
- 55 °C to + 85 °C (to + 125 °C with
voltage derating)
Capacitance Tolerance:
At 120 Hz, + 25 °C. ± 20 % standard.
± 10 % available as special.
DC Leakage Current (DCL Max.):
At + 25 °C and above:
Leakage current shall not exceed the values listed in the
Standard Ratings Tables.
Life Test:
Capacitors are capable of withstanding a 2000 h
life test at a temperature of + 85 °C at the applicable rated
DC working voltage.
