Electrical characteristics
CAPACITANCE TOLERANCE (ON RATED CAPACITANCE)
The capacitance is defined by a rated value (CR, indicated on the capacitor) and It defines, with the rated capacitance, the range in which the capacitance value
a tolerance (generally ±20%). must be at room temperature.
The capacitance is measured at a 100Hz or at a 120Hz frequency under a 0,1 e.g.: Rated capacitance: 100µF
to 1 VAC voltage and a 2,1 to 2,5 V bias (or 9 to 10 V for UR ≥ 100 V). Tolerance: 20%
At room temperature, it must be in the range defined by the rated value and The measured capacitance must be between:
the tolerance. 100 - (20% of 100) = 80µF and 100 + (20% of 100) = 120µF
Capacitance change vs temperature: see typical curves below. Maximum 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 Leakage current is the residual current which flows through the capacitor
which can be applied continuously between –55°C and +85°C. 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 ESR CHANGE VS TEMPERATURE

Dissipation factor is generally measured at the same time as the capacitance, ∆ RSE
with the same conditions. It is a function of the series resistance of the
capacitor and the capacitance at low frequency. 40

DF = ESR x C x 2p f

At low frequency, the series resistance is the sum of an ohmic part (leads,
contacts, MnO2) and the dielectric losses. 4

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

Reliability is not therefore only a function of the component quality, but also of 100
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, 1

General information
Tantalum capacitors are, with ceramic, aluminum and film capacitors, one of MANUFACTURING
the most used family.

The manufacturing technology and the constant improvements in tantalum
powders allow it to be the capacitor with the highest CV (product capacitance x Tantalum capacitors are the capacitors which have the highest ratio of
voltage) per volume, very long life and high reliability. capacitance per volume. This is mainly due to the high dielectric coefficient of
It has also the following advantages: its insulator and to its large cross-section.
• Wide range of capacitance (less than 1µF to more than 10 000µF) The basic raw material is a high purity (greater than 99,99%) tantalum powder
• Wide operating temperature range (–55°C to +200°C) with a very fine granulation, compressed to form a cylinder or a parallelipiped
• Electrical characteristics stable with temperature constituting the anode of the capacitor (positive plate).
• Low leakage current
• Very low ESR for some types The pellet is then sintered at high temperature (1200°C to 2200°C), under
• Stability after long periods of storage , without any reforming high vacuum (10–6 Torr), firstly to purify the powder and secondly to obtain a

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,

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
