Hermetically sealed capacitors provide up to 72,000 µF for avionics and military applications

With a capacitance range from 3,300 to 72,000 ¦ÌF, the HE3 wet tantalum capacitors are presented as offering the industry¡¯s highest capacitance per unit volume of any similar devices on the market. The hermetically sealed high-energy capacitors withstand highly stressful hazardous environments and suit energy-storage and pulse-power applications in avionics and military devices.

The capacitors use the Vishay¡¯s SuperTan hybrid cathode technology combined with anode designs. ESR is 0.035 Ω at 25¡ãC and 1 kHz.

Operating temperature range is 55¡ã to 85¡ãC. Standard capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz and 25¡ãC is ¡À20%, and tolerances of ¡À10% are also available.
