Wet Tantalum Capacitors for Avionics and Aerospace with Enhanced Vibration Capability

Vishay's T16 electrolytic capacitors provide all the advantages of the company's SuperTan series devices while offering reverse voltage of 1.5 V at +85 °C, thermal shock of 300 cycles, and high vibration 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 T16 series features voltages from 25 V to 125 V, high capacitance from 10 µF to 680 µF, and capacitance tolerance of ±10 % and ±20 % standard at 120 Hz and +25 °C. The devices operate over a temperature range of -55 °C to +85 °C, to +125 °C with voltage derating, and provide low ESR down to 0.70 Ω at 120 Hz and +25 °C.

The capacitors released today feature standard tin / lead terminations, with RoHS-compliant 100 % tin terminations available.

Samples and production quantities of the extended T16 series are available now, with lead times of 10 weeks for larger orders.
