Tantalum capacitors for high-reliability systems

20 April 2016 Passive Components

AVX has added new high-voltage components to its high-reliability TWA Series COTS Plus axial leaded, wet electrolytic tantalum capacitors.

Featuring a high capacitance cathode system that enables high CV levels in DSCC-compatible case sizes and new ratings as high as 4700 μF/ 25 V, 3000 μF/ 50 V, 2200 μF/ 60 V, 1000 μF/ 75 V and 750 μF/ 100 V, these capacitors are ideal for use in high-reliability defence, avionics, radar and power supply applications.

The TWA Series COTS Plus range is available with seven voltage ratings (25 V, 30 V, 50 V, 60 V, 75 V, 100 V and 125 V), 26 capacitance values spanning 10 μF to 5600 μF, four DSCC-compatible case sizes (T1-T4), two capacitance tolerances (±10% and ±20%), and two termination finishes (Sn/Pb 60/40 and lead-free compatible matte tin). The RoHS-compliant tantalum capacitors are also available both with and without an insulating sleeve, and with three levels of qualification: Extended Range, COTS Plus and Group A level testing.
