VISHAY ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF NEW TH3 MOLDED SOLID TANTALUM CHIP CAPACITORS
09 December 2006 - Vishay Electronic

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announced the release of new TH3 molded solid tantalum chip capacitors, designed to provide high reliability with high-temperature capabilities of 150°C with 50 % voltage derating.

The new capacitors are optimized for a wide variety of high-temperature automotive uses, including under-hood and on-engine applications such as engine control, fuel injection systems, steer-by-wire, diesel ignition control, and transmission control; sensor applications such as tire pressure monitoring and temperature control; industrial applications related to the control of high-temperature materials; and oil exploration sensing systems.

These molded-case capacitors are available in five case codes, sizes A through E, per EIA-535BAAC. By providing higher temperature capabilities than the industry-standard 125 °C, the new capacitors give designers a less expensive option for high-temperature applications.

Part of Vishay's TANTAMOUNT tantalum capacitor family, the devices released today have a capacitance range of 0.33 µF to 100 µF and a voltage range from 10 V to 50 V. The surface-mount TH3 capacitors are available in standard EIA tape-and-reel packages that are compatible with high-volume automatic pick-and-place equipment. RoHS-compliant tin or gold and Sn/Pb terminations are available.

Samples and production quantities of the new TH3 solid tantalum chip capacitors are available now, with lead times of 8 to 10 weeks for larger orders.
