Vishay Launches Tantalum Molded Chip Capacitors for Electronic Detonation Systems
Vishay Debuts TX3 Series: High-Reliability Tantalum Capacitors for Demanding Electronic Detonation Systems
Vishay Intertechnology, a leading manufacturer of electronic components, announces the Vishay Sprague TX3 series, a new lineup of surface-mount solid tantalum molded chip capacitors specifically designed for electronic detonation systems. These capacitors offer a compelling combination of robust mechanical design, low leakage current, and rigorous testing, making them ideal for critical applications in mining, demolition, and other industries.
Unmatched Performance for Reliable Ignition:
- Low Leakage Current (DCL): The TX3 series boasts exceptionally low DCL values (0.005 CV). Combined with the high energy density inherent to tantalum technology, these capacitors deliver the necessary energy for dependable ignition, even in remote detonation systems with strict discharge requirements.
- Stable Electrical Performance: Vishay's best-in-class dielectric formation, coupled with tantalum anode technology, ensures consistent electrical performance in the harsh environments encountered in electronic detonation applications.
Uncompromising Reliability through Stringent Testing:
Vishay prioritizes reliability in the TX3 series:
- Exceeds Commercial Standards: These capacitors undergo more rigorous testing than standard commercial offerings. Every unit is 100% surge current tested, followed by two additional electrical characteristic screenings to eliminate inconsistencies between batches.
- Robust Construction: The capacitive element and lead frame are encapsulated in a durable hard plastic resin for exceptional mechanical stability.
- Enhanced Shock and Vibration Resistance: The TX3 series surpasses MLCCs in terms of shock (100 g) and vibration (20 g) resistance, meeting the stringent requirements of MIL-STD-202.
Designed to Meet Diverse Application Needs:
The TX3 series caters to a wide range of electronic detonation system requirements:
- Capacitance Range: 10 µF to 100 µF
- Voltage Ratings: 16 V to 25 V
- Case Sizes: B (EIA 3528-21) and C (EIA 6032-28)
- Capacitance Tolerance: Down to ±10%
- Additional Specifications:
- ESR: 0.700 W to 2.3 W at +25°C
