Tantalum capacitor achieves new CV ratings

High-capacitance cathode construction designed for harsh environments

The TWA wet electrolytic tantalum capacitor features a patented high-capacitance cathode construction that enables previously unavailable CV ratings of 2,200 µF at 25 V and 1,000 µF at 60 V — exceeding the values specified in the MIL-PRF-39006 shock and vibration standard. With a welded tantalum can and header assembly providing a hermetic seal in harsh environments, the capacitor operates in temperatures from –55° to 125°C.

The capacitor is available in a variety of case sizes and ratings, including a T1, A case offering up to 10 µF at 125 Vdc through a T4, E case offering up to 150 µF at 125 Vdc. Custom capacitance and voltages are also available. (From $35 ea/50 — available now.)
