FOUNTAIN INN, S.C. (June 30, 2015) – AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of passive components and interconnect solutions, has introduced a new series of wet tantalum capacitors designed for use at 200°C, many of which are capable of up to 2,000 hours of operation with applicable derating. Featuring a high capacitance cathode system that enables high CV performance in standard DSCC case sizes spanning T1 T4, the new TWA-Y Series delivers high reliability, high temperature, and long lifetime performance, and exhibits stable electrical parameters over temperature (-55°C to +200°C). Hermetically sealed in a welded tantalum can and header assembly, TWA-Y Series capacitors satisfy the harsh mechanical shock and high frequency vibration requirements for both MIL-PRF-39006 and MIL-STD-202, making them ideal for use in high temperature avionics, industrial, down-hole, and military applications.

Exhibiting high reliability and high capacitance performance at 200°C, with endurance ratings up to 2,000 hours, the new TWA-Y Series hermetically sealed wet electrolytic tantalum capacitors provide design engineers with an extended range of temperatures and CV values, enabling a range of new, next-generation electronics for harsh environment applications,” said Allen Mayar, product marketing manager at AVX.
