Vishay - W Case Size for High-Capacitance, High-Voltage, Low-ESR TR3 Molded Tantalum Chip Capacitor
Vishay announced the addition of the new W case (EIA 7361) for its popular low-ESR TR3 high-capacitance, high-voltage molded tantalum chip capacitor. Measuring 7.3 mm by 6.0 mm, with a height of 3.45 mm, the new case size allows for capacitance and voltage range expansion beyond the existing A through E case sizes.
FollBy utilizing the W case capacitor, designers can reduce the component count in applications where they previously used multiple components in parallel to achieve large bulk capacitance for energy storage. This saves board space, reduces costs, and improves reliability in telecom base stations, data storage and high-end computing, industrial computers, automotive, and military applications, in addition to medical instrumentation, and more.
Vishay's molded tantalum capacitors offer a package suited to more requirements and applications in all market segments, such as DC/DC output filtering in high-density boards or low-voltage distributed power boards.
The RoHS compliant low-ESR TR3 is suitable for high-volume automatic and manual pick-and-place equipment, and is capable of withstanding lead (Pb)-free soldering reflow conditions.
