Tantalum-Cased, Hermetic Caps from 15 to 680 µF

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has expanded the capacitance range of its M39006/33 (Style CLR93) tantalum-cased, hermetically-sealed wet tantalum capacitor. Offering established reliability for critical avionics and aerospace systems, the device is the industry's first such capacitor qualified to the MIL-PRF-39006/33 specification to offer capacitance from 15µF to 680µF over a wide voltage range from 50V to 100V.

The extended Vishay Sprague capacitor released today combines its high capacitance and established reliability with excellent reverse voltage, vibration, and thermal shock performance. Optimized for timing, filtering, energy hold-up, and pulse power applications in power supplies for space and avionics equipment, the device allows designers to incorporate fewer capacitors into these products to lower overall system costs.

Offered in the axial T1, T2, T3, and T4 case sizes, the M39006/33 features capacitance tolerance of ±10% and ±20% standard and maximum ripple current of 2750mA. These capacitors operate over a temperature range of -55 to +85 degrees C, and up to +125 degrees C with voltage derating.

Samples and production quantities of the extended M39006/33 capacitor are available now, with lead times of 10 weeks for large orders.
