SuperTan® Wet Tantalum Capacitors With Hermetic Seal

LINKS TO ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

Vishay ST represents a major breakthrough in wet tantalum

capacitor technology. Its unique cathode system provides

the highest capacitance per unit volume. The design

facilitates a doubling of capacitance, lower ESR and higher

ripple current rating compared with conventional wet

tantalum products. Moreover, the ST has the capacitance

stability of a solid tantalum capacitor and there are no circuit

impedance restrictions.

The ST is housed in an all tantalum, hermetically sealed case

and is manufactured to withstand hazardous environments.

The ST is used widely in the defense and aerospace

industries and whenever there is a space problem.

Note

* This datasheet provides information about parts that are

RoHS-compliant and / or parts that are non RoHS-compliant. For

example, parts with lead (Pb) terminations are not RoHS-compliant.

Please see the information / tables in this datasheet for details

APPLICATION NOTES

a. No continuous reverse voltage permissible.

b. The peak of the applied AC ripple and the applied DC

voltage must not exceed the DC voltage rating of the

capacitor.

c. Ripple current ratings by part number at 85 °C and

40 kHz are included in the table. Ripple current correction

factors for other temperatures and frequencies are given

on the next page.

d. Transient reverse voltage surges are acceptable under

the following conditions:

the peak reverse voltage does not exceed 1.5 V and the

peak current times the duration of the reverse transient

does not exceed 0.05 As. In addition, the repetition

frequency of the reverse voltage surge is less than 10 Hz.

Notes

• Packaging: The use of formed plastic trays for packing bulk components is standard. Tape and reel cannot be used due to unit weight

(1) Sleeve on J, K, L, M terminations shall be Kapton only

(2) J, K, L, M are available in T4. For all other case sizes, check with marketing
