NEW SOLID TANTALUM CHIP CAPACITORS OFFER INDUSTRY-HIGH VOLUMETRIC EFFICIENCY
20 March 2002 - Vishay Electronic

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc today announced the release of the CC and EC families of low-profile, conformal-coated solid tantalum chip capacitors. Available in eight standard case sizes, the new devices offer industry-best volumetric efficiency for energy storage, filtering, and bypass applications in medical, military, and aerospace electronic systems.

The new CC/EC devices feature high volumetric efficiency of up to 200,000 CV per cubic inch, 100% low-impedance power burn-in at +85°C, and low equivalent series resistance values for high-frequency applications, providing high reliability and superior electrical parameters in a wide range of compact case sizes.

The capacitors offer case dimensions as small as 2.54 mm by 1.27 mm (0.10 in. by 0.050 in.), with a low height profile of just 1.27 mm (0.050 in.), and are pad-compatible with MIL-PRF-55365/4 (CWR06 and CWR09).

Capacitance ratings for the new tantalum chip capacitors range from 0.10 mF to 100 mF for devices in the CC series and from 0.47 μF to 220 μF for devices in the extended-range EC series.

Working voltage options range from 4 WVDC up to 50 WVDC, with standard capacitance tolerance options of ±5%, ±10%, and ±20%. ESR values range from 20 down to 0.5 at 100 kHz.

CC/EC capacitors are rated for operation from -55°C to +85°C, and up to +125°C with voltage derating.

Offered in 50-unit "Blister-Pack" trays or in 8-mm or 12-mm tape-and-reel packaging, CC/EC capacitors are available with gold-plated or solder-dipped terminations. Type CC/EC capacitors, the commercial equivalents of 49BC/EC capacitors, are suitable for use with ICs, diodes, resistors, and inductors from Vishay.

Samples of the new CC/EC solid tantalum chip capacitors in limited values are available now, limited production availablesecond quarter 2002.
