Enhancing Electronic Detonation Systems 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 low 0.005CV DCL, as well as strict testing criteria to guarantee dependable detonation in tough conditions.
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has released a new line of TANTAMOUNT surface-mount solid tantalum molded chip capacitors that are tailored for electronic detonation systems. The Vishay Sprague TX3 series capacitors have a strong mechanical design, low leakage current (DCL), and strict testing standards, providing improved performance and reliability compared to standard tantalum capacitors and MLCCs.
The capacitors launched today have a low DCL value of 0.005CV and a high energy density compared to other types of capacitors. This allows them to provide more energy for reliable ignition, making them well-suited for use in remote detonation systems for mining and demolition. The tantalum anode technology and high-quality dielectric formation by Vishay guarantee stable electrical performance even in tough conditions.
In order to guarantee dependability, TX3 series capacitors undergo more rigorous testing compared to standard commercial capacitors. Each capacitor is subjected to 100% surge current testing using standard methods, as well as two additional screenings to ensure consistent key electrical characteristics across all lots. These capacitors are designed with a durable solution in mind, as their capacitive element and lead frame are enclosed in hard plastic resin. Additionally, they have higher shock resistance (100 g) and vibration capabilities (20 g) compared to MLCCs, meeting MIL-STD-202 standards.
The TX3 series is available in two case sizes, B (EIA 3528-21) and C (EIA 6032-28), with capacitance ranging from 10 µF to 100 µF and voltage ratings 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 +25 °C, ripple current up to 0.438 A, and can operate at high temperatures up to +125 °C. With lead (Pb)-free terminations, the TX3 series devices are compliant with RoHS, halogen-free, and are considered Vishay Green.
The recently released solid tantalum capacitors are currently in stock and available for purchase in small quantities or bulk orders. The expected time for delivery is between 10 to 12 weeks. For pricing information, it is recommended to contact a Vishay representative in your area.
