The Key Benefits:

• Industry's first solid tantalum chip capacitor to offer a 63-V rating
• Allows designers to meet derating requirements in +28-V applications
• 22-µF capacitance at this rating
• Offered in a surface mount "F" case package
• Dual anode construction ensures the lowest ESR in its class
• Combines the flexibility and convenience of a commercial product with the reliability needed in demanding applications
• Offers high-reliability screening options including Weibull grading, and surge current testing options in accordance with MIL-PRF-55365
• Features a wide array of ratings not found in available MIL specifications

The Key Applications:

• DC/DC converters and power distribution in weapons and radar systems, avionics, and space-based electronics
• T97 Hi-Rel series ratings are also available in a commercial version (597D series)

The News:

Vishay Extends Hi-Rel COTS T97 Series to Offer Industry's First Solid Tantalum Chip Capacitor With 63-V Rating and 22-µF Capacitance

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) announces that it has extended its TANTAMOUNT^® Hi-Rel COTS T97 series to offer the industry's first solid tantalum chip capacitor with a 63-V rating to meet derating requirements in +28-V power supply designs.

• Designed for safety-critical applications such as those found in the military and aerospace industries
• Features the required reliability and surge screening options necessary to ensure performance in Hi-Rel applications while still maintaining a maximum capacitance-voltage product
• T97 Hi-Rel series ratings are also available in a commercial version, the 597D series

Key Device Specifications:

• New "F" case device:
• 20-V to 63-V rating
• 22-µF to 330-µF capacitance
• T97 Series:
• Capacitance range of 15 µF to 1500 µF
• Voltage range from 4 V to 63 V
• ESR from 0.015 Ω to 0.30 Ω at +25 °C and 100 kHz
• Temperature range of −55 °C to +85 °C, +125 °C with voltage derating

The Perspective:

Lacking alternatives for +28-V applications, until now designers have been forced to rely on 50-V tantalum capacitors, which exceed standard derating requirements (both military and best-commercial-practices) of 50 % rated voltage. With a 63-V rating and capacitance of 22 µF, the new TANTAMOUNT^® Hi-Rel COTS T97 device in the "F" case size solves this long-standing issue by allowing designers to incorporate solid surface-mount tantalum capacitors into their +28-V power supply designs while fully complying with derating requirements.

Availability:

Samples and production quantities of the new 63-V T97 are available now, with lead times of 7 to 10 weeks, depending on the level of reliability screening requested.
