Surface mount chip capacitors feature ultra-low ESR

The low ESR of the capacitors is a result of their polymer cathodes, which offer greatly enhanced performance over manganese dioxide devices. In addition, the T55 series offers excellent ripple current rating up to 1.78A IRMS and provides low equivalent series resistance (ESR) for enhanced charge and discharge characteristics. The capacitors are ideal for use for power management, battery decoupling, and energy storage in computers, tablets, smart phones, and wireless cards.

Offered in the J, P, A, B, and T (low-profile B − 1.2mm max.) case sizes, T55 series devices feature a wide capacitance range from 3.3µF to 330µF over voltage ratings from 2.5V to 10V, and a capacitance tolerance of ± 20%. The devices operate over a temperature range of -55°C up to +105°C with voltage derating above +85°C.

Featuring lead-free terminations, T55 series capacitors are RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay GREEN. The devices are compatible with high-volume automatic pick-and-place equipment and offer a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 3.
