Solid-Electrolyte TANTALEX™ Capacitors
for High Frequency Power Supplies
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Operating Temperature: -55 °C to +125 °C
(above 85 °C, voltage derating is required)
Capacitance Tolerance: at 1 kHz, +25 °C
± 20 %, ± 10 % standard. ± 5 % available as special
Dissipation Factor: at 1 kHz, +25 °C.
Dissipation factor, as determined from the expression
2fC
R
, shall not exceed the values listed in the standard
ratings tables
DC Leakage Current (DCL Max.):
at +25 °C: leakage current shall not exceed the values listed
in the Standard Ratings table
at +85 °C: leakage current shall not exceed 10 times the
values listed in the Standard Ratings table
at +125 °C: leakage shall not exceed 15 times the values
listed in the standard ratings tables
Life Test: capacitors shall withstand rated DC voltage
applied at +85 °C for 2000 h or derated DC voltage applied
at +125 °C for 1000 h
Following the life test:
1. DCL shall not exceed 125 % of the initial requirements
2. Dissipation factor shall meet the initial requirement
3. Change in capacitance shall not exceed ± 5 %
FEATURES
• Terminations: tin / lead (SnPb),
100 % tin (RoHS-compliant)
• Hermetically-sealed, axial-lead solid tantalum
capacitors
• Small size and long life
• Exceptional capacitance stability and excellent resistance
to severe environmental conditions
• The military equivalent of the 550D is the M39003/09 (style
CSR21) which is qualified to MIL-PRF-39003/9
• Material categorization: for definitions of compliance

Note
*
This datasheet provides information about parts that are
RoHS-compliant and / or parts that are non RoHS-compliant. For
example, parts with lead (Pb) terminations are not RoHS-compliant.
Please see the information / tables in this datasheet for details

This is expressed in
picofarads. The first two
digits are the significant
figures. The third is the
number of zeros to
follow. Standard
capacitance ratings are
in accordance with EIA

This is expressed
in volts. To complete
