operate over the temperature range of - 55 °C to
+ 105 °C.
1.1 Capacitors may be operated to + 105 °C with voltage
derating to 0.8 times the + 85 °C rating.

under any conditions, including transients and peak
ripple at the highest line voltage.
3.1 Surge Voltage Test: Capacitors shall withstand the

resistor at the rate of one-half minute on, one-half
minute off, at + 85 °C, for 1000 successive test
cycles.

shall meet the initial requirements; the capacitance
shall not have changed more than ± 20 %. The
leakage current shall not exceed 150 % of the value
listed in the Standard ratings Table.
4. Capacitance Tolerance: The capacitance of all
capacitors shall be within the specified tolerance
limits of the normal rating.
4.1 Capacitance measurements shall be made by means
of polarized capacitance bridge. The polarizing
voltage shall be of such magnitude that there shall be
no reversal of polarity due to the AC component. The
maximum voltage applied to capacitors during
measurement shall be 2 volts rms at 120 Hz at
+ 25 °C. If the AC voltage applied is less than one-half
volt rms, no DC bias is required. Accuracy of the
bridge shall be within ± 2 %.
5. Capacitance Change With Temperature: The
capacitance change with temperature shall not
exceed the following percentage of the capacitance
measured at + 25 °C:
6. Dissipation Factor: The dissipation factor,
determined from the expression 2πfRC, shall not

at, or referred to, a frequency of 120 Hz and a

the rated temperature for 30 minutes. Rated voltage
shall be applied to capacitors for 5 minutes using a
steady source of power (such as a regulated power

shear force.
13. Flammability: Encapsulant materials meet UL94 V0.
14. Capacitor Failure Mode: The predominant failure
mode for solid tantalum capacitors is increased
leakage current resulting in a shorted circuit.
Capacitor failure may result from excess forward or
reverse DC voltage, surge current, ripple current,
thermal shock or excessive temperature. The
increase in leakage is caused by a breakdown of the
Ta2O5 dielecric. For additional information on leakage
failure of solid tantalum chip capacitors, refer to
Vishay Sprague Technical Paper, “Leakage Failure
Mode in Solid Tantalum Chip Capacitors.”
15. Humidity Test: Capacitors shall withstand 500 hours
at + 60 °C, 90 % to 95 % relative humidity, with no
voltage applied.

Standard Ratings Table, dissipation factor shall not
exceed 150 % of the initial requirement; leakage
current shall not exceed 0.1 CV (µA).

GUIDE TO APPLICATION
1. A-C Ripple Current: The maximum allowable ripple
current shall be determined from the formula:
where,
P = Power Dissipation in Watts at + 25 °C as
given in the table in Paragraph Number 2.4
(Power Dissipation)
RESR = The capacitor Equivalent Series
Resistance at the specified frequency.
2. A-C Ripple Voltage: The maximum allowable ripple
voltage shall be determined from the formula:
or, from the formula:
where,
P = Power Dissipation in Watts at + 25 °C as
given in the table in Paragraph Number 2.4
(Power Dissipation).
RESR = The capacitor Equivalent Series
Resistance at the specified frequency.
Z = The capacitor impedance at the specified
frequency.
2.1 The sum of the peak AC voltage plus the applied DC
voltage shall not exceed the DC voltage rating of the
capacitor.
2.2 The sum of the negative peak AC voltage plus the
applied DC voltage shall not allow a voltage reversal
exceeding 10 % of the DC working voltage at + 25 °C.
2.3 Temperature Derating: If these capacitors are to be
operated at temperatures above + 25 °C, the
permissible rms ripple current or voltage shall be
calculated using the derating factors as shown:
2.4 Power Dissipation: Power dissipation will be
affected by the heat sinking capability of the mounting
surface. Non-sinusoidal ripple current may produce
heating effects which differ from those shown. It is
important that the equivalent Irms value be established
when calculating permissible operating levels. (Power
Dissipation calculated using + 25 °C temperature rise.
3. Reverse Voltage: These capacitors are capable of
withstanding peak voltages in the reverse direction
equal to 10 % of the DC rating at + 25 °C, 5 % of the
DC rating at + 85 °C and 1 % of the DC rating at
+ 105 °C.
4. Recommended rated working voltage guidelines:
5. Printed Circuit Board Materials: Type 552D is
compatible with commonly used printed circuit board
materials (alumina substrates, FR4, FR5, G10,
PTFE-fluorocarbon and porcelanized steel).
6. Attachment:
6.1 Solder Paste: The recommended thickness of the
solder paste after application is 0.007" ± 0.001"
[0.178 mm ± 0.025 mm]. Care should be exercised in
selecting the solder paste. The metal purity should be
as high as practical. The flux (in the paste) must be
active enough to remove the oxides formed on the
metallization prior to the exposure to soldering heat.
In practice this can be aided by extending the solder
preheat time at temperatures below the liquidous
state of the solder.
6.2. Soldering: Capacitors can be attached by
conventional soldering techniques - vapor phase,
infrared reflow, wave soldering and hot plate
methods. The Soldering Profile charts show
recommended time/temperature conditions for
soldering. Attachment with a soldering iron is not
recommended due to the difficulty of controlling
temperature and time at temperature. If hand
soldering is necesary, the soldering iron must never
come in contact with the capacitor.

7. Recommended Mounting Pad Geometries: Proper
mounting pad geometries are essential for successful
solder connections. These dimensions are highly
process sensitive and should be designed to
minimize component rework due to unacceptable
solder joints. The dimensional configurations shown
are the recommended pad geometries for both wave
and reflow soldering techniques. These dimensions
are intended to be a starting point for circuit board
designers and may be fine tuned if necessary based
upon the peculiarities of the soldering process and/or
circuit board design.
8. Cleaning (Flux Removal) After Soldering: The
552D is compatible with all commonly used solvents
such as TES, TMS, Prelete, Chlorethane, Terpene
and aqueous cleaning media. However, CFC/ODS
products are not used in the production of these
devices and are not recommended. Solvents
containing methylene chloride or other epoxy
solvents should be avoided since these will attack the
epoxy encapsulation material.
8.1. When using ultrasonic cleaning, the board may
resonate if the output power is too high. This vibration
can cause cracking or a decrease in the adherence-of
the termination. DO NOT EXCEED 9 W/L AT 40 kHz
for 2 minutes.
