GR500 HIGH RELIABILITY SOLID TANTALUM
Introduction
The solid tantalum capacitor has become an essential device
in circuits requiring high capacitance-voltage product and
extended environmental capability. The KEMET GR500
Graded Reliability concept has made available state-of-theart devices providing maximum assurance of meeting system reliability goals. All Graded Reliability capacitors
receive meticulous attention from raw material selection
through manufacture, final inspection and shipping. Having
survived a very stringent quality control program, the resulting capacitors meet or exceed the most critical requirements
of space, satellite, missile and medical applications where
failure is, at best, expensive, and at worst, fatal.
KEMET is, therefore, committed to the principle of the
highest possible reliability in the manufacture and grading of
its GR500 Series capacitors.
The KEMET GR500 High Reliability concept disallows
grouping of diverse ratings and production batches to determine average failure rates. Instead, data from each and every
capacitor batch are statistically fitted to determine failure
rate on the basis of 100% life testing. Each homogeneous
production batch is “graded’’ as a single inspection lot, and
documented evidence of failure rate achieved is supplied
with the parts, providing assurance of the most sophisticated
and accurate reliability measurement method in the industry.
Basic Requirements
A. Manufacturing Environment — It is of vital importance that high reliability electronic components be manufactured in an environment which provides commitment to
the philosophy of high reliability production. GR500 Series
capacitors are manufactured in a plant area that stresses this
philosophy. Manufacturing and quality control personnel
are selected for experience and competence. Extensive
training in quality and reliability assurance techniques is
provided, and motivation of personnel is heavily stressed.
Raw material and in-process inspection techniques are
especially rigid. The result is a capacitor product of inherently superior quality.
B. Screening Test — All GR500 Series capacitors are subjected to a broad test program. Despite the most rigid of
quality control procedures, some variation among batches of
capacitors must be recognized. This fact is understandable
when one considers the inherent differences which derive
from the 16 to 1 ratio of operating voltages, the 20 to 1 ratio
of physical sizes, and the 60,000 to 1 ratio among capacitance ratings. Maximum assurance of reliability is achieved
by maintaining batch identity from the raw material with
respect to capacitor sizes and ratings as well as material
identification. Each batch is then subjected to extensive,
non-destructive 100% screening tests as indicated below.
1. Thermal Shock — Inherent variations exist among
the temperature coefficients of expansion of the various
materials required in the manufacture of solid tantalum
capacitors. In worst-case combinations, individual
capacitors will exhibit sensitivity to temperature excursions. Consequently, all GR500 Series capacitors
undergo ten temperature cycles between -65°C and
+125°C prior to the electrical testing which eliminates
those capacitors failing to withstand this extreme
change in environment.
2. Surge Current — Each GR500 capacitor receives
10 cycles @ -55°C, + 85°C. Each cycle consists of rated
voltage charge for 4±1 seconds and a discharge for 4±1
seconds. Total DC resistance (excluding the test capacitor) is ≤1.0 ohms. The energy storage bank capacitor(s)
is 100,000 µF minimum.
3. Grading — This term is used to describe the technique which defines the failure rate of KEMET Graded
Reliability capacitors. Grading consists of placing
GR500 capacitors in an oven at 85°C for a minimum of
250 hours at a voltage greater than rated voltage. The
technique is fundamentally based upon the oft-documented fact that solid tantalum capacitors do not conform to the exponential distribution of time-ordered failures, but instead exhibit a constantly decreasing failure
rate. The Weibull distribution provides a valuable tool
for describing the behavior of solid tantalum capacitors,
and experimental fits are made to this distribution in
determining performance levels for each GR500 Series
batch. Actual test data are provided with each shipment
of capacitors to document the failure rate obtained.
4. Electrical Testing — Each GR500 Series capacitor
is tested at 25°C for leakage current at rated voltage, as
well as capacitance and dissipation factor at 120 Hz.
Since uniformity is generally a valid indicator of reliability, parametric distributions are graphically recorded
for each lot. Parts which deviate from the normal population are discarded. Guaranteed maximum values are
as detailed in Table 1.
5. ESR — Each GR500 capacitor is tested for ESR @
100 KHz. See electrical specification tables.
6. X-ray — Each GR500 Series capacitor is examined
by X-ray in two planes with 90 degree rotation. Since
assembly of the solid tantalum capacitor is a blind operation, optical inspection cannot reveal internal defects
such as loose solder balls or deficient anode solder
bonding.
7. Hermeticity — Each GR500 capacitor receives hermeticity testing per MIL-STD-202, Method 112,
Condition D. This test uses a fluorocarbon liquid at
125°C±5° (257°F± 9°F) at ambient pressure and detects
gross leaks by the observation of bubbles.
C. Sampling — In addition to the 100% screening tests,
other tests are imposed on a sample basis to determine parametric stability and resistance to environmental extremes.
These tests are fully described in the GR500 Graded
Reliability Specification.
D. Available Special Testing — In addition to the standard
testing outlined in this catalog, optional testing is available.
1. 100% ESR testing at various frequencies
2. 1 KHz DF
3. Tightened DC leakage, Capacitance and Dissipation
Factor limits.

Capacitance — The nominal values listed in Table 1 conforms to accepted industry practice; intermediate values may
be produced on special order. Standard tolerances are
± 20%, ± 10%, and ± 5%. Closer tolerances of ±2% may be
available upon special order and after agreement upon measurement conditions.
The capacitance of solid tantalum capacitors decreases
with frequency as shown in Figure 1. The nominal values of
Table 1 are also available at 1 kHz on special order. Typical
variation of capacitance with respect to temperature is illustrated in Figure 2.

DC Leakage Current — The DC Leakage current limits of
Table I are the lowest generally specified in the solid tantalum industry. Even lower leakage currents are available on
special order. Low leakage current, aside from its intrinsic
value, is an indication of anode quality. DC leakage current
as a function of temperature is represented by the typical
curve in Figure 4, while similar information pertaining to
leakage behavior with respect to voltage is contained in
Figure 5.

= 2πfCR
R = equivalent series resistance in ohms
D = dissipation factor
XC = capacitive reactance in ohms
C = series capacitance in farads
f = frequency in Hertz
Unless otherwise stated, a standard frequency of 120 Hz is
used for both dissipation and capacitance measurements.

Expected reliability factors for voltages and temperatures
other than the rated conditions may be found in Figure 6.
Since T210 Series capacitors are supplied with a predetermined failure rate under rated conditions, reliability under
use conditions may be estimated with this nomograph.

Circuit Impedance — Failure rates are affected by temperature and voltage as described in Figure 6 and also by the
circuit impedance seen by the capacitor. Originally, application advice for solid tantalum capacitors suggested an
impedance of 3 ohms or higher per applied volt. This advice
was later found to be unnecessarily conservative, and the
factors below are based on 0.1 ohm per volt as the unity failure rate multiplier.

Voltage and Temperature Ratings; Reliability Effect —
T210 Series capacitors are manufactured in 6 through 100
volt ratings at 85°C. Operation at 125°C with 2/3 rated voltage applied gives equivalent results and voltage may be derated linearly between these two points. Solid tantalum
capacitors may be operated continuously at any voltage from
zero to the maximum rating without adverse effects.
Operation at voltage below nameplate improves reliability,
while subsequent operation at a higher voltage will not be
affected by prior low voltage use.

dependent as shown in Figure 7a thru 7g. The curves are typical of the capacitor values noted, with measurements being
made by contacting lead wires 1/4 inch from the ends of the
capacitor cases. Since ESR decreases with frequency, AC
performance at higher frequencies is considerably better
than would be predicted from the 120 Hz ratings.
Capacitor Impedance — The relationship between impedance and frequency at various voltage ratings is illustrated
with typical curves in Figure 7. Impedance declines with
decreasing capacitive reactance, but ESR becomes dominant
before the self-resonant point is reached, producing the typical damped curves. Finally, impedance increases as inductance of the lead wire and other capacitor elements dominates. Obviously, high frequency impedance is directly
influenced by the length of lead wire and general mounting
configuration. The typical curves of Figure 7 include 1/4 inch
of lead wire at each end of the capacitor.
AC Ripple — Permissable AC ripple voltage is related to
the rated voltage, the ESR of the capacitor, and the power
dissipation capability of a particular case size:
1. The positive peak AC voltage plus the DC bias
voltage (if any), must not exceed the rated voltage.
2. The negative peak AC voltage, in combination
with the bias voltage (if any), must not exceed that
allowable for a polar T210 capacitor (see Table
III).

3. The power dissipated in the equivalent series
resistance of the capacitor must not exceed the
limits specified in Table II.
The power dissipated may be calculated from the
following:
Reverse Voltage — The solid tantalum capacitor is basically a polar device and can be damaged by serious reversals
of polarity even for short periods of time, depending upon
the circuit impedance. However, some short duration reversal is permissable as shown in Table III.

P= ER

Z
Where E = ripple voltage across capacitor in rms volts
Z = capacitor impedance in ohms at the specified frequency (typical values from Figure 7)
R = equivalent series resistance in ohms (typical values from Figure 7)
Ripple voltage, as limited by power dissipation, may be
determined as follows:
E max (25°C) = Z
P max
R
Where P max=maximum permissible power from
Table III
R = ESR from Figure 7
E max (85°C) = 0.9 E max (25°C)
E max (125°C) = 0.4 E max (25°C)

Shelf Life — Shelf life is particularly difficult to define for
the solid tantalum capacitor. Extended periods of storage at
high temperature will cause some small change in leakage
current which usually returns to normal upon short time
application of working voltage. Storage at low temperatures
causes little or no degradation of leakage current. Long-term
studies of capacitance and dissipation factor shift for as long
as 45,000 hours indicate only minor variations (usually less
than 2%) in these parameters.
Installation — Mounting procedures should not place
undue strain on terminals, particularly the positive end with
its glass-metal seal. Attention to soldering technique should
avoid excessive heat transfer which might remelt the capacitor’s internal solder and cause loss of hermeticity or short
circuits. Potting materials should not produce excessive curing exotherms or shrinkage pressures.

Capacitance — The nominal values listed in Table I conforms to accepted industry practice; intermediate values may
be produced on special order. Standard tolerances are
± 20%, ± 10%, and ± 5%. Closer tolerances may be produced upon special order and after agreement upon measurement conditions.
Typical variation of capacitance with respect to temperature is illustrated in Figure 1a. The capacitance of solid tantalum capacitors decreases with frequency, as shown in
Figure 1b.

DC Leakage Current — The DC Leakage current limits of
Table 1 for T240 Series capacitors are the lowest generally
specified in the solid tantalum industry. Even lower leakage
currents are available on special order. Low leakage current,
aside from its intrinsic value, is an indication of anode quality. DC leakage current as a function of temperature is represented by the typical curve in Figure 3, while similar information pertaining to leakage behavior with respect to voltage is contained in Figure 4.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION GR500/T240 (Continued)
Voltage and Temperature Ratings; Reliability Effect —
T240 Series capacitors are manufactured in 6 through 60
volt ratings at 85°C. Operation at 125°C with 2/3 rated voltage applied gives equivalent results, and voltage may be derated linearly between these two points. Unlike wet electrolytic capacitors, solid tantalum capacitors may be operated continuously at any voltage from zero to the maximum
rating without adverse effects. Operation at voltage below
nameplate improves reliability, while subsequent operation
at a higher voltage will not be affected by prior low voltage
use.

Expected reliability factors for voltages and temperatures
other than the rated conditions may be found in Figure 5.
Since T240 Series capacitors are supplied with a predetermined failure rate under rated conditions, reliability under
use conditions may be estimated with this nomograph.
Circuit Impedance — Failure rates are affected by temperature and voltage as described in Figure 5 and also by the
circuit impedance seen by the capacitor. Traditionally, application advice for solid tantalum capacitors suggested an
impedance of 3 ohms or higher per applied volt. This advice
was later found to be unnecessarily conservative, and the
factors in Table II, are based on 0.1 ohm per volt as the unity
failure rate multiplier.

Equivalent Series Resistance — The equivalent series
resistance (ESR) of a solid tantalum capacitor is frequency
dependent. The curves of Figure 6 are typical of the capacitor values noted, with measurements being made by contacting lead wires 1/4 inch from the ends of the capacitor
cases. Since ESR decreases with frequency, AC performance
at higher frequencies is considerably better than would be
predicted from the 120 Hz ratings.
Capacitor Impedance — The relationship between impedance and frequency at various voltage ratings is illustrated
with typical curves in Figure 6. Impedance declines with
decreasing capacitive reactance, but ESR becomes dominant
before the self-resonant point is reached, producing the typical damped curves. Finally, impedance increases as inductance of the lead wire and other capacitor elements dominates. Obviously, high frequency impedance is directly
influenced by the length of lead wire and general mounting
configuration. The typical curves of Figure 6 include 1/4 inch
of lead wire at each end of the capacitor.

Reverse Voltage — The solid tantalum capacitor is a polar
device and can be damaged by serious reversals of polarity
even for short periods of time. However, some short duration
reversal is permissable as shown in Table IV.

AC Ripple — Permissable AC ripple voltage is related to
the rated voltage, the ESR of the capacitor, and the power
dissipation capability of a particular case size:
1. The positive peak AC voltage plus the DC bias
voltage (if any), must not exceed the rated voltage.
2. The negative peak AC voltage, in combination
with the bias voltage (if any), must not exceed that
allowable (see Reverse Voltage).
3. The power dissipated in the equivalent series
resistance of the capacitor must not exceed the
limits specified in Table III.
The power dissipated may be calculated from the
following:

Surge Current — Surge current testing is performed to provide resistance from damage due to circuit transients. This
test, employing total DC circuit resistance of 1.0 max, exclusive of the capacitor, is described on Page 21.
Shelf Life — Shelf life is particularly difficult to define for
the solid tantalum capacitor. Extended periods of storage at
high temperature will cause some small change in leakage
current which usually returns to normal upon short time
application of working voltage. Storage at low temperatures
causes little or no degradation of leakage current. Long-term
studies of capacitance and dissipation factor shift for as long
as 45,000 hours indicate only minor variations (usually less
than 2%) in these parameters.
Installation — Mounting procedures should not place
undue strain on terminals, particularly the positive end with
its glass-metal seal. Attention to soldering technique should
avoid excessive heat transfer which might remelt the capacitor’s internal solder and cause loss of hermeticity or short
circuits. Potting materials should not produce excessive curing exotherms or shrinkage pressures.
