Enhancing Electronic Detonation Systems with Vishay’s TANTAMOUNT Solid Tantalum Chip Capacitors: A Robust Solution 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 with low 0.005CV DCL and strict testing standards to guarantee dependable detonation in challenging conditions.
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has released a new line of TANTAMOUNT surface-mount solid tantalum molded chip capacitors that are tailored for use in electronic detonation systems. These Vishay Sprague TX3 series capacitors offer improved performance and reliability compared to standard tantalum capacitors and MLCCs due to their durable design, low leakage current, and rigorous testing standards.
The capacitors released today have low DCL values of 0.005CV and a high energy density of tantalum, making them ideal for remote detonation systems in mining and demolition. Their tantalum anode technology, along with Vishay's high-quality dielectric formation, ensures stable performance in harsh environments.
In order to guarantee dependability, TX3 series capacitors undergo more rigorous testing compared to typical commercial options. Each capacitor is subjected to 100% surge current testing using standard methods, and also undergoes two additional screenings to ensure consistent electrical characteristics across different production batches. These devices are designed with a durable solution in mind, as their capacitive element and lead frame are enclosed in tough plastic resin. When compared to MLCCs, TX3 capacitors have higher shock (100 g) and vibration (20 g) resistance, meeting MIL-STD-202 standards.
The TX3 series comes in B (EIA 3528-21) and C (EIA 6032-28) case sizes and offers a capacitance range of 10 µF to 100 µF with voltage ratings ranging from 16 V to 25 V. The capacitance tolerance can go as low as ± 10%. These devices have ESR values from 0.700 Ω to 2.3 Ω at +25 °C, a ripple current of up to 0.438 A, and can operate at high temperatures up to +125 °C. The TX3 series devices have lead-free terminations, are RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and are considered Vishay Green.
You can now request samples and place orders for the new solid tantalum capacitors, with a waiting period of 10 to 12 weeks. Contact your nearby Vishay representative for pricing information.
