Vishay Intertechnology Solid Tantalum Molded Chip Capacitors Deliver Enhanced Performance for Electronic Detonation Systems
03 Juli 2024 - 5:00PM
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new
series of TANTAMOUNT™ surface-mount solid tantalum molded chip
capacitors designed specifically for electronic detonation systems.
Combining a robust mechanical design with low leakage current (DCL)
and stringent testing specifications, Vishay Sprague TX3 series
devices deliver enhanced performance and reliability over
commercial tantalum capacitors and MLCCs.
With low DCL values of 0.005CV — and the high energy density of
tantalum compared to other capacitive technology — the capacitors
released today deliver more energy to ensure proper ignition. This
makes them ideal for remote detonation systems with reliable
discharge requirements in mining and demolition applications. The
devices’ tantalum anode technology, combined with Vishay’s best in
class dielectric formation, ensures stable electric performance in
these harsh environments.
To ensure reliability, TX3 series capacitors are tested to more
stringent criteria than standard commercial offerings. Each part is
100% surge current tested using standard screening methods, and
undergoes two additional screenings for key electrical
characteristics to eliminate lot to lot variations. Providing a
robust solution, the devices’ capacitive element and lead frame are
encapsulated by hard plastic resin. Compared to MLCCs, they offer
higher shock (100 g) and vibration (20 g) capabilities in
accordance with MIL-STD-202.
Available in the B (EIA 3528-21) and C (EIA 6032-28) case sizes,
the TX3 series offers a capacitance range from 10 µF to 100 µF over
voltage ratings from 16 V to 25 V and a capacitance tolerance down
to ± 10%. The devices provide ESR from 0.700 Ω to 2.3 Ω at
+25 °C, ripple current to 0.438 A, and high temperature
operation to +125 °C. Featuring lead (Pb)-free terminations, TX3
series devices are RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay
Green.
Samples and production quantities of the new solid tantalum
capacitors are available now, with lead times of 10 to 12 weeks.
