Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has recently launched a groundbreaking high-energy liquid tantalum capacitor called the EP1, specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of aerospace applications. This new offering stands out in the market by delivering the highest capacitance values for each voltage class and form factor, making it an ideal choice for engineers seeking top-tier performance.
The EP1 comes in three distinct form factors—A, B, and C—each available with radial through-hole or surface-mount terminations. These options provide greater design flexibility, allowing engineers to choose the best configuration for their specific application. Additionally, all form factors include screw mounting options, enhancing mechanical stability in critical environments.
Built using Vishay’s proven SuperTan technology, the EP1 offers capacitances ranging from 2000μF to 30,000μF and voltage ratings between 25VDC and 125VDC. The A-profile variant, for instance, achieves an impressive 13,000μF at 50VDC, surpassing the nearest competitor by 18%. This level of performance makes the EP1 a strong contender in high-reliability systems.
Capacitors are available with standard ±20% tolerance or a tighter ±10% option, ensuring precision in critical applications. The C form factor is set to launch later in 2017, while the B form factor will follow in 2018, expanding the product line further.
Designed for pulsed power and energy storage applications, the EP1 features a full-bore sealed enclosure that enhances reliability in harsh conditions. It operates reliably over a wide temperature range—from -55°C to +85°C—with a derating point at +125°C. At 1kHz and +25°C, the maximum ESR is just 0.030Ω, ensuring low internal resistance and efficient operation.
The EP1 uses tin/lead (Sn/Pb) terminated leads and is fully RoHS compliant with 100% pure tin termination, meeting environmental standards while maintaining high performance. Whether used in laser-guided systems, radar equipment, or aerospace applications, the EP1 sets a new benchmark for reliability, capacity, and versatility in the world of high-energy capacitors.
