HERMETICALLY SEALED - TANTALUM CASES
Electrical characteristics
CAPACITANCE
The capacitance is defined by a rated value (C
R
, indicated on the capacitor) and
a tolerance (generally ±20%).
The capacitance is measured at a 100Hz or at a 120Hz frequency under a 0,1
to 1 V
AC
voltage and a 2,1 to 2,5 V bias (or 9 to 10 V for U
R
≥ 100 V).
At room temperature, it must be in the range defined by the rated value and
the tolerance.
Capacitance change vs temperature: see typical curves below. Maximum
changes are given, for each type, on the data sheets.
TOLERANCE (ON RATED CAPACITANCE)
It defines, with the rated capacitance, the range in which the capacitance value
must be at room temperature.
e.g.:
Rated capacitance: 100µF
Tolerance: 20%
The measured capacitance must be between:
100 - (20% of 100) = 80µF and 100 + (20% of 100) = 120µF
The standard tolerance for tantalum capacitors is 20%.

Electrical characteristics
DIRECT DC VOLTAGE
The rated voltage (U
R
),
indicated on the capacitor, is the maximum DC voltage
which can be applied continuously between –55°C and +85°C.
For the types which can be used up to 125°C, the voltage must be derated
between +85°C and +125°C according to the following curve.
LEAKAGE CURRENT
Leakage current is the residual current which flows through the capacitor
after the charging time, under rated voltage. It is measured after a time not
exceeding 5 minutes and is given in µA.
It is equivalent to the insulation resistance of the capacitor and it must be as
low as possible.
Maximum leakage current is a function of capacitance and rated voltage values
and is given, for each type, in the data sheets.

The category voltage (U
C
)
is consequently the maximum DC voltage which can
be applied continuously at +125°C.
The surge voltage
is the maximum voltage which can be applied for short
periods.
It is given for each type in the data sheet and is generally equal to 1,15 times
U
R
between –55°C and +85°C and 1,15 times U
C
at +125°C.
Tests are performed with charging periods of 30 seconds, through a 1000 Ω
resistor, and discharging periods of 5 min 30s. 1000 cycles are done.
REVERSE VOLTAGE
Capacitors in silver cases (CT4, CT4E, CT9, CT9E) and some in tantalum cases
(WT83, WS83) cannot withstand any reverse voltage: it would cause damage,
more or less rapidly depending upon the voltage value.
It is therefore necessary to be sure that the bias voltage is high enough to
avoid that the AC voltage creates a reverse voltage (negative peak).
Other capacitors in tantalum cases (CT79, CT79E, ST79, DSCC 93026,
M39006/22 and M39006/25) can withstand a reverse voltage as specified in
the individual datasheet.

DISSIPATION FACTOR
Dissipation factor is generally measured at the same time as the capacitance,
with the same conditions. It is a function of the series resistance of the
capacitor and the capacitance at low frequency.
DF = ESR x C x 2
p
f
At low frequency, the series resistance is the sum of an ohmic part (leads,
contacts, MnO
2
) and the dielectric losses.
Dissipation factor is given in % and maximum limits are given for each type in
the data sheets.

It can be seen that:
• at low frequencies, impedance is a function of capacitance
• at high frequencies, impedance is a function of inductance
• at medium frequencies, it is a function of the ESR
Maximum impedance: see data sheets.
