OUTLINE (Type TCA) Type TCA is a tantalum solid electrolytic capacitor which uses conductive polymer as cathode layer. Their equivalent series resistance (ESR) is extremely lowered with the characteristics of the polymer having high electric conductivity. This ensures higher permissible ripple current and excellent noise absorption performance on high-frequency circuits. APPLICATION Mobile phones, digital cameras, high-performance portable equipments, personal computers, digital TV sets, DC/DC converters, regulators and peripherals. FEATURES 1. Low ESR and Low impedance Using a conductive polymer as cathode layer makes low ESR and impedance possible. Type TCA makes high permissible ripple current and is suitable for noise bypass application. 2. Stable ESR over temperature ESR is extremely stable from low temperature through high temperature. 3. Compact and Large capacitance The capacitor is smaller and has larger capacitance than ceramic capacitor and aluminum electrolytic capacitor. 4. Benign Failure Mode Type TCA offers very safe characteristics which makes ignition and smoking harder by taking advantages of characteristics of conductive polymer if the capacitor be short-circuited. 5. Lead Free and RoHS Compliant.

Operating voltage 6. Soldering The capacitors shall be operated at the rated voltage or lower. Over rated voltage applied even for a short time may cause short failure. When designing the circuit, the equipments required reliability must be considered and appropriate voltage derating must be performed. * Recommended operating voltage : 80% or less of the rated voltage * When the operating temperature exceeds 85 , derate the applied voltage. The voltage derating formula is shown below. 6.1 Preheating To obtain optimal reliability, lowering the heat shock during the soldering process is favorable. Capacitors should be pre-heated at 130-160 for approximately 60 seconds. 6.2 Soldering The body of the capacitor should not exceed 240 during soldering. (1) Reflow Soldering Reflow soldering is a process in which the capacitors are mounted on a printed circuit board with solder paste. Two methods of Reflow Soldering: Direct and Atmospheric Heat. * Direct Heat (Hot plate) * Atmospheric Heat a) Near and Far IR Ray b) Convection Oven Vapor Phase Soldering and Flow Soldering are not recommended. (2) Soldering Iron Soldering with a soldering iron cannot be recommended due to the lack of consistency in maintaining temperatures and process times. If this method should be necessary, the iron should never touch the capacitors terminals, and the temperature of the soldering iron should never exceed 350 . The application of the iron should not exceed 3 seconds and 30 watt. (3) Please consult us for other methods. Derating voltage Vt at any temperature T between 85 and 105 shall be calculated by the follwing formula. Derated voltage Voltage (V) Vr Vd Vt = Vr- 0 -55 0 20 85 105 Vr-Vd 20 (T-85) Vr : Rated voltage Vd : Derating voltage at 105 Temperature Vr Vd Rated voltage (VDC) Derated voltage (VDC) 2.5 2.0 4 3.2 6.3 5.0 10 8.0 7. Solvent cleaning 2. Application that contain AC Voltage Cleaning by organic solvent may damage capacitors appearance and performance. However, our capacitors are not effected even when soaked at 20-30 2-propanol for 5 minutes. When introducing new cleaning methods or changing the cleaning term, please consult us. Special attention to the following 3 items. (1) The sum of the DC bias voltage and the positive peak value of the AC voltage should not exceed the rated voltage. (2) Reverse voltage should not exceed the allowable values of the negative peak AC voltage. (3) Ripple voltage should not exceed the allowable values. 8. Ultrasonic cleaning Ultrasonic cleaning under severe condition may break terminals. Also, from an electrical characteristics aspect, it is unfavorable. Therefore, please do not use ultrasonic cleaning if possible. If the Ultrasonic cleaning process will be used, please note the following. (1) The solvent should not be boiled. (Lower the ultrasonic wave output or use solvent with the high boiling point.) (2) The recommended wattage is less than 0.5 watts per cm2. (3) The cleaning time should be kept to a minimum. Also, samples must be swang in the solvent. Please consult us. 3. Reverse voltage Special attention to the polar character. Reverse Voltage should not be applied. 4. Permissible ripple current The permissible ripple current and voltage at about 100 kHz or higher can be determined by the following formula from the permissible power loss for each case size (Pmax value) shown in Table 1 and the specified ESR value. However, when the expected operating temperature is higher than room temperature, determine the permissible values multiplying the Pmax value by the specified multiplier (Table 2). For the permissible values at different frequencies, consult our Sales Department. P=I 2xESR or P= 9. Storage Capacitors should be tightly sealed in moisture prevention bag and stored with supplied reel. 10. Inapplicable circuits E 2 ESR Z2 Permissible ripple current Imax= Permissible ripple voltage Emax= The capacitors may cause nonconformity if they are used on the following circuits. (1) High-impedance voltage holding circuits (2) Coupling circuits (3) Time constant circuits (4) Circuits significantly affected by leakage current P max (Arms) ESR If a short circuit occurs, the capacitors may generate heat or smoke depending on the short-circuit current. When designing a circuit, take the instructions stated herein into consideration, and take as much redundant measures as possible. P max x Z = Imaxx Z (Vrms) ESR These application notes are prepared based on the technical report RCR-2368B "Guideline of notabilia for fixed tantalum electrolytic capacitors with solid electrolyte for use in electronic equipment" issued by Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association. For the details of the instructions (explanation, reasons and concrete examples), please refer to this guideline, or consult our Sales Department.
