PASSIVE SOLUTIONS
Tantalum Capacitors Suit High-Reliability Applications 
Avionics, aerospace and military

Two new series of tantalum chip capacitors from Vishay Intertechnology provide high reliability for demanding applications such as avionics, aerospace and military. The T83 and T95 families offer a choice of moulded or conformal-coated cases, can withstand high ripple currents and are available in standard- or low-ESR versions.



With values from 0.1µF to 330µF (T83) and 0.1µF to 680µF (T95), and a choice of ±10% or ±20% tolerance, the new series can optionally be supplied surge current tested to MIL-PRF-55365. T83 devices are available in five casing sizes A through E, (EIA535BAAC dimensions).

Rated for operation from -55°C to +125°C, both the T83 and T95 series provide a choice of pure tin, SnPb, or gold-plated terminations, allowing their use in both RoHS-compliant and RoHS-exempt environments. They are supplied in standard tape-and-reel packaging, suitable for high-speed automated pick and place operations.


R Case Size T95 Capacitor

Customers can choose between a range of DC voltage ratings up to 50V. ESR values range from 10Ù to 0.045Ù for low-ESR versions, all measured at 100kHz. Low ESR, in combination with good power dissipation, confer the components’ ability to handle high levels of AC ripple current.
