Vishay Releases Tantalum Chip Capacitors
Vishay Intertechnology has announced the release of the new TR8 series of molded MicroTan tantalum chip capacitors that provide ultra-low ESR values of 0.8Ω (at 100kHz and 47μF) in the 0805 case size, and an industry-low 1.5Ω in the 0603 case size.
Low Like all series within the MicroTan family, the TR8 is fully RoHS-compliant and halogen-free in accordance with Vishay’s commitment to supporting environmentally friendly green initiatives. The devices feature lead (Pb)-free, L-shape facedown terminations for better contact to the solder pad than traditional facedown-style terminations. In addition, their rectangular molded case encapsulation helps to streamline PCB assembly.
Capacitance values for the TR8 series range from 1.0μF to 220μF, with standard capacitance tolerances of ±10% and ±20%. Voltage ratings range from 4 WVDC to 16 WVDC. The operating temperature range for the devices is -55°C to +85°C, or +125°C with voltage derating.
The capacitors are available in 8-mm tape and reel packaging per EIA-481-1 and 7-in [178-mm] standard reeling per IEC 286-3.
Samples and production quantities of the new TR8 molded MicroTan tantalum chip capacitors are available now, with lead times of 8 to 10 weeks for larger orders. Pricing is available on request.
