MALVERN, PA — (Marketwired) — 10/17/13 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new tantalum-cased wet tantalum capacitor with a glass-to-tantalum hermetic seal that is approved to Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) drawing 13017. For avionics and aerospace systems, the device is the industry-s first DLA-approved wet tantalum capacitor to combine a reverse voltage of 1.5 V at +85 degrees C with improved vibration (sine: 50 g; random: 27.7 g) and thermal shock (300 cycles) capabilities.
Providing all the advantages of Vishay-s SuperTan® series devices — while offering improved reverse voltage for higher performance and enhanced vibration and thermal shock capabilities for increased reliability — the 13017 electrolytic capacitor is optimized for timing, filtering, energy hold-up, and pulse power applications in power supplies for space and avionics equipment.
Offered in the axial T1, T2, T3, and T4 case sizes, the device features voltage from 25 V to 125 V, high capacitance from 10 to 680 microfarads, and capacitance tolerance of 10 % and 20 % standard at 120 Hz and +25 degrees C. The 13017 operates over a temperature range of -55 degrees C to +85 degrees C, to +125 degrees C with voltage derating, and provides low ESR down to 0.70 ohms at 120 Hz and +25 degrees C.
The capacitor released today features standard tin/lead (Sn/Pb) terminations, with RoHS-compliant 100 % tin terminations available.
Samples and production quantities of the 13017 are available now, with lead times of 10 weeks for larger orders.
