Tantalum Polymer Capacitors – Hermetically Sealed
T550 Axial & T555 Surface Mount 105°C
Overview
The T550 axial leaded and T555 surface mount polymer
hermetically sealed (PHS) devices are tantalum capacitors
with a Ta anode and Ta
2
O

dielectric. A conductive organic
polymer replaces the traditionally used MnO
2
or wet
electrolyte as the cathode plate of the capacitor. This
results in very low ESR and improved capacitance retention
at high frequency and low temperature. The PHS device
also exhibits a benign failure mode, which eliminates the
case breach that can occur in wet tantalum capacitors.
Additionally, this part may be operated at voltages up to
80% of rated voltage, with equivalent or better reliability
than traditional MnO
2
or wet tantalum capacitors operated
at 50% of rated voltage.
PHS capacitors also offer higher ripple current handling
capability and a lower ESR range than wet tantalums. With
reduced ESR and enhanced capacitance retention at higher
frequencies and low temperatures, these parts provide the
highest total capacitance and the most economical solution
for high power applications, all within an approximately 25%
lighter package than the equivalent wet tantalum capacitor.
Benefits
• Includes F-Tech anode which eliminates hidden defects in
the dielectric
• 100% simulated breakdown screening
• Maximum operating temperature of +105°C
• DLA drawing 13030 qualified parts available
• Polymer cathode technology
• Extremely low ESR
• High frequency and low temperature capacitance retention
• 100% constant voltage conditioning (240 hours)
• 100% surge current tested
• Volumetrically efficient
• Non-ignition failure mode
• Approximately 25% lighter than equivalent wet tantalum
• T550 case dimensions equivalent to
MIL–PRF–39006/22/25/30/31
• T555 surface mount design (see dimensions diagram)
Applications
Typical applications include high voltage power management, such as buck/boost converters, filtering, hold-up capacitors,
and other high ripple current applications.
