Features & Benefits
• F-Tech
– Based on fundamental understanding of
degradation mechanisms in Tantalum and
Niobium capacitors
– Eliminated hidden defects in the dielectric
which continue to grow in the field causing
capacitor failures
• SBDS
– Patent number US 7,671,603 B2
– Non-destructive testing technique which
allows determination of breakdown
voltage (BDV) of a capacitor without damage
to its dielectric
• Combination of F-Tech and SBDS
– Provides highest reliability
– Provides highest average BDV
– Screens parts with BDV below standard
deviation average
Product Checklist
• Is voltage derating mandatory?
• Is stable and low DC leakage current required?
• What is the circuit operating voltage?
• Are voltage spikes expected?
• Are there any special environmental
conditions such as temperature, moisture,
or vibration?
• What are the soldering conditions?
• What is the expected annual volume?
