Wet Tantalum Capacitors
Gelled-Electrolyte Sintered Anode TANTALEX
®
Capacitors Hermetically-Sealed with True
Glass-to-Tantalum Seal
FEATURES
Improved reliability through the use of a glass-to-tantalum
true hermetic anode seal is the prime feature of the Type
138D gelled-electrolyte sintered anode T
ANTALEX®
capaci-
tor. This construction eliminates all internal lead welds
while retaining the strength of internal lead-welded parts.
Additionally, this construction offers outstanding resistance
to thermal shock.
The military equivalent to the 138D is the CLR65 and
CLR69 which are qualified to MIL-C-39006/9 and /21.
Capacitors in accordance with military specifications
should be ordered by their military part numbers.
Following the life test:
1. DCL shall not exceed 125% of the original requirement.
2. The ESR shall not exceed 200% of the initial
requirement.
3. Change in capacitance value shall not exceed the per-
centages below.
a) 6 WVDC Units: + 10% to - 25% of initial measurement.
b) 8 WVDC and 10 WVDC Units: + 10% to - 20% of
initial measurement.
c) 15 WVDC Units: + 10% to - 15% of initial measurement.
d) 20 WVDC and above:
±
10% of initial measurement.
