Tantalum Through-Hole Capacitors – Hermetically Sealed
GR500/T210 Series High Reliability
Overview
The solid tantalum capacitor is an essential device in
circuits requiring high capacitance voltage product and
extended environmental capability. The KEMET GR500
Graded Reliability concept produces state-of-the-art
devices, providing maximum assurance of meeting system
reliability goals. All Graded Reliability capacitors receive
meticulous attention from raw material selection through
manufacture, final inspecton and shipping. Having
survived a very stringent quality control program, the
resulting capacitors meet or exceed the most critical
requirements of space, satellite, missile and medical
applications where failure is, at best, expensive, and at
worst, fatal. KEMET is, therefore, committed to the principle
of the hightest possible reliability in the manufacture and
grading of its GR500 Series capacitors. The KEMET GR500
High Reliability concept disallows grouping of diverse
ratings and production batches to determine average failure
rates. Instead, data from each and every capacitor batch
are statistically fitted to determine failure rate on the basis
of 100% life testing. Each homogeneous production batch
is “graded” as a single inspection lot, and documented
evidence of failure rate achieved is supplied with the parts,
providing assurance of the most sophisticated and accurate
reliability measurement of method in the industry.
