SuperTan® Extended (STE) Capacitors,
Wet Tantalum Capacitors 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.
•
Axial through-hole terminations: standard tin / lead (Sn / Pb),
100 % tin (RoHS-compliant) available
• Material categorization: for definitions of compliance
please see www.vishay.com/doc?99912
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
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:
