Solid-Electrolyte TANTALEX Capacitors,
Axial-Leaded, Molded Case
FEATURES
• Axial through-hole terminations: Tin/lead
(SnPb), 100 % tin (RoHS-compliant)
• Miniature axial-lead capacitors available in 5
sizes
• Precision molded in gold colored, flame
retardant, thermosetting epoxy resin
• Laser marked for improved legibility and
tapered end of case provides easy identification of
positive terminal
• Standard orders are lead taped and reeled; orders under
500 are taped only
• Material categorization: For definitions of compliance
please see www.vishay.com/doc?99912
Note
* Lead (Pb)-containing terminations are not RoHS-compliant.
Exemptions may apply.
APPLICATIONS
Designed for high performance automotive, industrial and
commercial electronic equipment.
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Operating Temperature: - 55 °C to + 85 °C
At + 85 °C: Leakage current shall not exceed 10 times the
(to + 125 °C with voltage derating)
values listed in the Standard Ratings table.
Capacitance Tolerance: At 120 Hz, + 25 °C.
20 %, 10 % standard 5 % available as special
At + 125 °C: Leakage shall not exceed 15 times the values
listed in the Standard Ratings table.
Capacitance Range: 0.10μF to 330 μF.
Life Test: Capacitors shall withstand rated DC voltage
applied at + 85 °C for 2000 h and for 1000 h applied
at + 25 °C derated voltage.
Voltage Rating: 2 VDC to 50 VDC
.
Dissipation Factor: At 120 Hz, + 25 °C. Dissipation factor,
as determined from the expression 2fRC, shall not exceed
the values listed in the Standard Ratings table.
DC Leakage Current (DCL Max.):
At + 25 °C: Leakage current shall not exceed the values
listed in the Standard Ratings table.
Following the life test:
1. DCL shall not exceed 125 % of the initial requirements.
2. Dissipation Factor shall meet the initial requirement.
3. Change in capacitance shall not exceed 10 %.
