Built on Vishay’s proven SuperTan technology, the device features an ultra-high capacitance range from 2,000µF to 30,000µF in the A case and voltage ratings from 25VDC to 125VDC.
The EP1’s values include a capacitance of 13,000µF at 50V in the A case size, which is 18 % greater than the closest competing device.
The capacitor features a standard capacitance tolerance of ± 20 %, with ± 10 % tolerance available.
C case ratings are expected in late 2017, with B case ratings expected in 2018.
Optimised for pulse power and energy hold-up applications in laser guidance, radar, and avionics systems, the EP1 is housed in an all-tantalum, hermetically sealed case for increased reliability.
The device operates over a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C, to +125°C with voltage derating, and provides maximum ESR down to 0.030Ω at 1kHz and +25°C. The capacitor is available with tin/lead (Sn/Pb) and RoHS-compliant 100% tin terminations.
