Vishay Wet Tantalum Capacitor Optimized for Laser Guidance, Radar and Avionics Systems
Vishay’s Enhanced EP1 now Features Ultra High Capacitance from 3,600µF to 40,000µF in the “B” Case Code and 5,300µF to 58,000µF in the “C” Case Code.
- (1888PressRelease) January 04, 2021 - NORTHVALE, New Jersey, USA – New Yorker Electronics released Vishay’s newly extended EP1 Wet-Tantalum Capacitor, supplying the industry’s highest capacitance per voltage-rating for this device type. Vishay developed this upgraded capacitor to meet the needs of military and avionics applications with new ratings in the B and C case codes.
Optimized for pulse power and energy hold-up applications in laser guidance, radar, and avionics/space systems, the EP1 is housed in an all-tantalum, hermetically sealed case for increased reliability. Vishay’s EP1 capacitor is available with radial through-hole or surface-mount terminations in the A, B, and C case codes, each with a stud-mount option, for increased design flexibility.
Built on Vishay’s proven SuperTan® technology, the enhanced EP1 now features ultra high capacitance from 3,600µF to 40,000µF in the B case code and 5,300µF to 58,000µF in the C case code. Voltage ratings for the device range from 25VDC to 125VDC. The EP1’s industry-leading values include a capacitance of 12,000µF at 80V in the C case size, which is 33% greater than the closest competing device. The capacitor features a standard capacitance tolerance of ±20%, with ±10% tolerance available.
Featuring standard tolerance of ±20%, with ±10% available, the device operates over a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C, to +125°C with voltage derating. The Vishay wet Tantalum Capacitor provides maximum ESR down to 0.015Ω at 1kHz and +25°C. It is available with tin / lead (Sn/Pb) and RoHS-compliant 100% tin terminations.
Features & Benefits:
• High energy, very high capacitance design
• All tantalum, hermetically sealed case
• Utilizes Vishay proven SuperTan technology
• Patent pending
• 2 terminations options: SMD and radial
Applications:
• Industrial
