CAPACITANCE
TOLERANCE (ON RATED CAPACITANCE)
The capacitance is defined by a rated value (CR, indicated on the capacitor) and
a tolerance (generally ±20%).
It defines, with the rated capacitance, the range in which the capacitance value
must be at room temperature.
The capacitance is measured at a 100Hz or at a 120Hz frequency under a 0,1
to 1 VAC voltage and a 2,1 to 2,5 V bias (or 9 to 10 V for UR ≥ 100 V).
At room temperature, it must be in the range defined by the rated value and
the tolerance.
e.g.:
Capacitance change vs temperature: see typical curves below. Maximum
changes are given, for each type, on the data sheets.
The standard tolerance for tantalum capacitors is 20%.

DIRECT DC VOLTAGE
LEAKAGE CURRENT
The rated voltage (UR), indicated on the capacitor, is the maximum DC voltage
which can be applied continuously between –55°C and +85°C.
Leakage current is the residual current which flows through the capacitor
after the charging time, under rated voltage. It is measured after a time not
exceeding 5 minutes and is given in µA.
For the types which can be used up to 125°C, the voltage must be derated
between +85°C and +125°C according to the following curve.
It is equivalent to the insulation resistance of the capacitor and it must be as
low as possible.
Maximum leakage current is a function of capacitance and rated voltage values
and is given, for each type, in the data sheets.

The category voltage (UC) is consequently the maximum DC voltage which can
be applied continuously at +125°C.
The surge voltage is the maximum voltage which can be applied for short
periods.
It is given for each type in the data sheet and is generally equal to 1,15 times
UR between –55°C and +85°C and 1,15 times UC at +125°C.
Tests are performed with charging periods of 30 seconds, through a 1000 Ω
resistor, and discharging periods of 5 min 30s. 1000 cycles are done.
REVERSE VOLTAGE
Capacitors in silver cases (CT4, CT4E, CT9, CT9E) and some in tantalum cases
(WT83, WS83) cannot withstand any reverse voltage: it would cause damage,
more or less rapidly depending upon the voltage value.
It is therefore necessary to be sure that the bias voltage is high enough to
avoid that the AC voltage creates a reverse voltage (negative peak).
Other capacitors in tantalum cases (CT79, CT79E, ST79, DSCC 93026,
M39006/22 and M39006/25) can withstand a reverse voltage as specified in
the individual datasheet.

Dissipation factor is generally measured at the same time as the capacitance,
with the same conditions. It is a function of the series resistance of the
capacitor and the capacitance at low frequency.

CT4 - CT4E - CT9 - CT9E TYPES
2- THERMAL SHOCKS - RAPID CHANGES OF TEMPERATURE
Maximum ripple currents which are indicated in the data sheets are given for
the following conditions:
This test is performed to check that the capacitors can withstand sudden
temperature changes. The method which is used is the one with two chambers,
one at –55°C, the other one at +125°C. Five cycles are performed, with 30min at
low temperature and 30min at high temperature, during the periodical tests (30
cycles for CT79 type). Electrical characteristics are measured after this test.
• frequency from 100Hz to 100kHz and more
• temperature from –55°C to +85°C
Correction vs temperature
3 - DAMP HEAT TEST
If the temperature is higher than 85°C, decrease linearly the maximum value
from 100% at +85°C to 80% at +125°C.
This test is performed during the periodical test, with the following conditions:
Temperature: 40°C
Humidity: 90 to 95%
DC voltage: without
Time: 21 or 56 days
Correction vs frequency
If frequency is lower than 100Hz, apply the following multipliers to the
maximum ripple currents:
75Hz: 0,79
60Hz: 0,65
50Hz: 0,55
25Hz: 0,55
Electrical characteristics are measured after this test.
OTHERS RULES (FOR ALL TYPES)
MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS
• the sum of the positive peak AC voltage and the DC bias voltage must be lower
than the rated voltage.
1 - VIBRATIONS
• the negative peak must not create any Reverse voltage (or maximum 3 volts for
CT79 and CT79E types).
CT9 - CT9E types
• Frequency: 10 to 2000Hz
• Amplitude: 1,5mm or 196m/s2 - 20g
• Time: 6 hours
This test is performed during the periodical test, with the following conditions:
• because of the increase of the series resistance at low temperature, it is
better to not apply directly the maximum ripple current but to increase this
one gradually to raise the capacitor temperature.
CT79/79E (SMD) - CT79/79E HT200 - ST79 (SMD) - ST79 HT200 - WT83 - WS83
• Frequency: 10 to 2000Hz
• Amplitude: 3,5mm or 490m/s2 - 50g
• Time: 6 hours
CLIMATIC CHARACTERISTICS
1- CLIMATIC CATEGORY
Climatic category defines the temperature range over which the capacitor can
be used continuously, and also the number of days for the damp heat test
(this test is performed periodically at 40°C with a 93% moisture rate).
2 - SHOCKS
This test is performed just after the vibrations test, with the following conditions
for all types:
• Acceleration: 981 m/s2 - 100g
• Pulse width: 6 ms
• Shape: 1/2 sinewave
• Number of shocks: 18 (3 in each direction, positive and negative)
Note: it is necessary to derate the voltage for temperatures higher than 85°C
(see page 15).

RELIABILITY
pV = INFLUENCE OF APPLIED VOLTAGE VS RATED VOLTAGE
Reliability of a component can be defined as its probability to work without any
failure, in defined conditions and during a fixed time.
V
100
Reliability is not therefore only a function of the component quality, but also of
the application and environmental conditions.
The parameter which is the most commonly used for the reliability is the
failure rate in time, generally expressed in % per 1000 hours.
CALCULATION OF A COMPONENT FAILURE RATE USED IN AN EQUIPMENT
10
The calculation method on the next page uses parmeters which are given
by the CNET (Centre National d’Étude des Télécommunications) in its
Reliability Data Book (RDF 1993).
The failure rate is calculated with parameters which are function of the
capacitor (capacitance, case type, approvals, high surge current test) and
others ones which are representative of application conditions (voltage,
temperature, resistance in serie, environmental conditions).

powders allow it to be the capacitor with the highest CV (product capacitance x
voltage) per volume, very long life and high reliability.
Tantalum capacitors are the capacitors which have the highest ratio of
capacitance per volume. This is mainly due to the high dielectric coefficient of
its insulator and to its large cross-section.
It has also the following advantages:
• Wide range of capacitance (less than 1µF to more than 10 000µF)
• Wide operating temperature range (–55°C to +200°C)
• Electrical characteristics stable with temperature
• Low leakage current
• Very low ESR for some types
• Stability after long periods of storage , without any reforming
The basic raw material is a high purity (greater than 99,99%) tantalum powder
with a very fine granulation, compressed to form a cylinder or a parallelipiped
constituting the anode of the capacitor (positive plate).
The pellet is then sintered at high temperature (1200°C to 2200°C), under
high vacuum (10–6 Torr), firstly to purify the powder and secondly to obtain a
strong mechanical structure by a welding of the particles.
All these characteristics allow tantalum capacitors to be commonly used either in large volume markets like mobile phones or computers, or in specific
High-Rel applications such as space, aerospace and military.
The insulating part is obtained by anodization to a depth of the tantalum
surface which forms a tantalum pentoxide film (Ta2O5) with a thickness of
about 16 angstroms per anodization volt. The dielectric coefficient is between
21 and 27 depending upon the anodization conditions.
Its main uses are found in the following functions:
• Filtering
• RC time constant
• Bypass
• Energy storage
• Coupling
Tantalum capacitors can be divided into two main families and several subfamilies:
Solid tantalum capacitors:
• Solid MnO2
- Metal cases
- Molded cases
- SMD
WET ELECTROLYTE: CATHODE AND ENCAPSULATION
In this case, the cathode is formed by a sulphuric acid solution. The anodized
tantalum pellet is impregnated with this solution and then placed in a silver
or tantalum case, into which some equivalent gelled solution have been
previously deposited.
Wet tantalum capacitors:
• Silver cases
• Tantalum cases
The case is then crimped on the internal PTFE gasket to make the sealing.
The final steps are welding (CT79), soldering (CT9) or elastomer seal (CT4)
depending on the capacitors.
SOLID ELECTROLYTE: CATHODE AND ENCAPSULATION
• Solid Polymer
- SMD
In this case, the cathode is formed either by managanous dioxide which is a
grey semi conductor or by polymer solution.
HOW TO USE THE SELECTION GUIDE
Solid MnO2 cathode is obtained by dipping the pellets into a manganous
nitrate water solution which impregnates the internal structure; this solution
is then decomposed in a high temperature oven to obtain manganous dioxide.
This operation is repeated several times. The nature and quality of this
semiconductor are important to some of the electrical parameters (especially
the serial resistance).
1 - The Technical Selection Guide can be used to select a product according to
the main technical requirements.
2 - The Classification according to specification makes the link between all
major standard specifications and the products.
3 - The Selection Guide by family has the same classification as in the
catalogue. You will find for each type the main features, the approvals and
the page number of the technical data sheet.
To finish the negative plate, a graphite coating and then a silver coating are
deposited on the outside surface of the manganous dioxide or conducting
polymer.
The positive nickel lead is welded on the tantalum wire and the negative lead
is either soldered for the products with axial leads or glued with a silver epoxy
for the SMD range.
BURN-IN - SORTING - INSPECTION
All the products are submitted to a final burn-in, with differing severities
depending upon the characteristics of each type (temperature, voltage,
duration).
Then follows the sorting, marking and inspection operations. It can be noted
that the procedures for these operations are the same for approved and non
approved parts (except the periodical tests).
