MALVERN, PA — (Marketwired) — 07/18/13 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new ultra-high-capacitance series of tantalum-cased wet tantalum capacitors with glass-to-tantalum hermetic seals. For avionics and aerospace applications, the T18 series offers an industry-high capacitance of 1000 microfarads at 75 V in the D case size.
Vishay-s T18 tantalum-cased electrolytic capacitors provide all the advantages of the company-s SuperTan® series devices while offering reverse voltage of 1.5 V at +85 degrees C, thermal shock of 300 cycles, and high vibration (sine: 50 g; random: 27.7 g) capability. The wet tantalum capacitors are optimized for timing, filtering, energy hold-up, and pulse power applications in power supplies for space and avionics equipment.
The T18 series is offered in the A, B, C, and D case sizes. In the D case size, the devices combine their ultra-high-capacitance with low ESR values down to 0.50 ohms at 120 Hz and +25 degrees C. The through-hole axial capacitors operate over a temperature range of -55 degrees C to +85 degrees C, to +125 degrees C with voltage derating, and offer capacitance tolerance of 10 % and 20 % standard.
The capacitors released today feature standard tin/lead terminations, with RoHS-compliant 100 % tin terminations available.
Samples of the T18 series are available now. Production quantities will be available in August 2013, with lead times of 10 weeks for larger orders.
