Enhancing Electronic Detonation Systems with Vishay’s TANTAMOUNT Solid Tantalum Chip Capacitors: A Robust Design for Reliable Performance in Harsh Environments
Vishay's solid tantalum chip capacitors improve the performance of electronic detonation systems. TANTAMOUNT devices have a strong design and meet strict testing requirements to ensure dependable detonation in challenging conditions.
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has released a new line of surface-mount solid tantalum molded chip capacitors that are tailored for use in 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 improved performance and reliability compared to standard tantalum capacitors and MLCCs.
The capacitors released today have low DCL values of 0.005CV and a high energy density in comparison to other types of capacitors. This allows them to provide more energy for effective ignition, making them well-suited for remote detonation systems in mining and demolition. The use of tantalum anode technology and Vishay's superior dielectric formation ensures consistent electric performance in challenging conditions.
In order to guarantee dependability, TX3 series capacitors undergo more rigorous testing compared to typical commercial capacitors. Each individual part is subjected to surge current testing and two extra screenings for important electrical properties to reduce variations between production batches. These capacitors are protected by a durable hard plastic resin encapsulation for added strength. They have higher shock and vibration resistance (100 g and 20 g respectively) compared to MLCCs, meeting MIL-STD-202 standards.
The TX3 series comes in two case sizes – B (EIA 3528-21) and C (EIA 6032-28). It has a capacitance range of 10 µF to 100 µF and voltage ratings from 16 V to 25 V, with a capacitance tolerance as low as ± 10%. These devices have ESR values ranging from 0.700 Ω to 2.3 Ω at +25 °C, a ripple current up to 0.438 A, and can operate at high temperatures up to +125 °C. The TX3 series features lead (Pb)-free terminations and is compliant with RoHS, halogen-free, and Vishay Green standards.
You can now request samples and order production quantities of the latest solid tantalum capacitors, with a waiting period of 10 to 12 weeks. To inquire about pricing, contact a Vishay representative in your area.
