Tantalum Polymer Capacitors – Hermetically Sealed
T551 Axial & T556 Surface Mount 125°C
Overview
The T551 axial leaded and T556 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. The
result is 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, the 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 molded 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

• 100% surge current tested
• Volumetrically efficient
• Use at up to 80% of rated voltage
• Non-ignition failure mode
• Approximately 25% lighter than equivalent wet tantalum
• T551 case dimensions equivalent to
MIL-PRF-39006/22/25/30/31
• T556 surface mount design (see dimensions diagram)
