Enhancing Electronic Detonation Systems Performance with Vishay’s TANTAMOUNT Solid Tantalum Chip Capacitors

Vishay's solid tantalum chip capacitors improve the performance of electronic detonation systems. TANTAMOUNT devices have a strong design and undergo rigorous testing to ensure dependable detonation in challenging conditions, with a low 0.005CV DCL.

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has released a new line of TANTAMOUNT surface-mount solid tantalum molded chip capacitors that are made for electronic detonation systems. The Vishay Sprague TX3 series capacitors are designed with a strong mechanical structure, low leakage current (DCL), and rigorous testing standards to provide better performance and reliability compared to regular tantalum capacitors and MLCCs.

The capacitors released today have low DCL values of 0.005CV and a high energy density due to tantalum, making them able to provide more energy for reliable ignition. This makes them well-suited for remote detonation systems in mining and demolition, where consistent discharge is necessary. The devices use tantalum anode technology and Vishay's high-quality dielectric formation to maintain stable electric performance in tough conditions.

In order to guarantee dependability, TX3 series capacitors go through more rigorous testing than typical commercial capacitors. Each capacitor is tested for surge current and key electrical characteristics to ensure consistency across different production lots. The capacitors are protected by a hard plastic resin, making them more durable. Compared to MLCCs, they have higher shock (100 g) and vibration (20 g) resistance in accordance with MIL-STD-202.

The TX3 series is available in two different case sizes, B and C, with a capacitance range of 10 µF to 100 µF and voltage ratings ranging from 16 V to 25 V. The capacitance tolerance can go as low as ± 10%. These devices have ESR values ranging from 0.700 Ω to 2.3 Ω at a temperature of +25 °C, a ripple current of up to 0.438 A, and can operate at high temperatures up to +125 °C. The TX3 series features lead-free terminations, is compliant with RoHS regulations, halogen-free, and labeled as Vishay Green.

The newly released solid tantalum capacitors are currently in stock for both sample orders and bulk purchases, with a waiting period of 10 to 12 weeks. To inquire about pricing, reach out to a Vishay representative in your area.
