Kemet: Tantalum

Tantalum capacitors can offer high capacitance in the smallest possible size, low ESR and surge current robust, operating temperature ranges up to 175°C in both surface mount and through hole designs, with non-magnetic capability available on many surface mount products. Applications can include industrial, automotive, defence and space grade, high reliability Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS), and applications which require a very low ESR, increased temperature stability or benign failure mode.

Sensata-MX

KEMET has launched the first T581 polymer tantalum surface-mount capacitors qualified to MIL-PRF-32700/2. The 35V capacitors suit filtering and decoupling in fast-switching DC/DC converters where efficiency is critical in high-reliability military applications. The polymer tantalum technology delivers high volumetric efficiency.

T502-Kemet-Tantalum

The T502 Series is a high temperature product that offers optimum performance characteristics in applications with operating temperatures up to 230°C. This series is classified as moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 under J STD 020: unlimited floor life time at ≤ 30°C / 85% RH.

Due to the potential use of high melting point solders, KEMET has taken the initiative to package this series in moisture barrier bags with desiccant and a humidity indicator card.

The T502 Series is available today in capacitances of up to 10 microfarads and rated voltage up to 35 volts. Typical applications include decoupling and filtering for very high temperature environments such as measurement-while-drilling (MWD) in down-hole applications.

Providing an attractive combination of performance, capacitance stability at all temperatures and robustness in high temperature applications, these capacitors are well suited for high temperature bypass and decoupling applications or frequency discriminating circuits where stability of capacitance characteristics are critical.
