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
Compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC
Note
*Pb containing terminations are not RoHS compliant, exemptions
may apply
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:
Leakage current shall not exceed the values listed in the
Standard Ratings Tables.
Life Test: Capacitors are capable of withstanding a 2000 h
life test at a temperature of + 85 °C at the applicable rated
DC working voltage.
Note
Packaging: The use of formed plastic trays for packaging this type of axial lead component is standard.
Tape and reel is not recommended due to the unit weight.
