ABSTRACT. Contrary to MnO2 tantalum capacitors, transient processes in polymer tantalum capacitors after voltage application might. result in anomalously high, ampere-level currents when a capacitor might appear as a short circuit for a time that is much. greater than a transient time in MnO2 capacitors.

connection point between the tantalum lead wire and tantalum anode, enhancing robustness and product reliability. The benefit of F-Tech is illustrated by a 2,000 hour, 85°C, 1.32 X rated voltage accelerated life test. F-Tech parts see no degradation while standard tantalum's have 1.5 orders of magnitude degradation in leakage current.

Reliability of tantalum capacitors depends on the efficiency of self-healing that restores parts after breakdown. In this work, different types of polymer and MnO2 cathode capacitors have been tested for scintillation breakdown using a constant current stress (CCS) technique modified to allow detection of amplitudes and duration of current spikes.

Failures in tantalum capacitors can be considered as a time-dependent-breakdown and reliability of all types of capacitors, including wet, MnO2 and polymer cathode parts, depends on the efficiency of self-healing that can mend parts after breakdown. A mechanism of self-healing in MnO2 capacitors is associated with oxygen …

On average, CWR06 capacitors are ~ 5 to 10 times below the spec. limit, CWR11 – 2 to 4 times, and CWR29 – 30% to 60%. According to J.Brusse, ASRC/GSFC 2016, 4 out of 26 lots of CWR29 capacitors had from 7% to 92% of ESR failures. Manufacturers might have different rules for setting ESR limits.

A peculiarity of polymer tantalum capacitors (PTC) that is not observed in MnO2 capacitors (MTC) is the presence of anomalous transients. These transients include a group of phenomena that happens after application of voltage pulses to initially discharge and dry capacitors. The phenomena revealis ed as increased capacitance dissipation,

To evaluate the effect of vacuum, three groups of T530 and one group of T525 220 μF capacitors were stored in a thermal vacuum chamber at a pressure of ~ 1E-7 torr and temperature 100 oC for 1900 hours. Interim measurements of AC and DC characteristics were taken after 72 hr, 220 hr, and 540 hours of storage.

ESR increases as a result of soldering for all types of preconditioning; however, degradation was greater for capacitors after moisture soak. Parts after baking increase ESR by 10% to 16%, but in the presence of moisture the increase was 29% to 46%. Internal pop-corning in Ta capacitors might cause delaminations and increase ESR.

The basic DCL leakage current level on MnO2 capacitors is typically 10x lower compare to the polymer capacitors. Thus for polymer tantalum capacitors, DCL specification limits follow: DCL = 0.1 x CV. the 100μF 10V polymer capacitor has a DCL standard limit as 100μA and typically we can measure around 10μA at room temperature.
