Vishay proudly announces the launch of the new Tantamount™TX3 Series Solid Tantalum Molded Chip Capacitors,specifically designed for electronic detonation systems.Compared to traditional commercial tantalum capacitors and multilayer ceramic capacitors(MLCCs),the Vishay Sprague TX3 series capacitors demonstrate superior performance and reliability,setting a new benchmark for high-demand applications.

　　Exceptional Design and Low Leakage Current

　　The TX3 series capacitors feature a robust mechanical design and extremely low leakage current(DCL)of 0.005CV.This design ensures higher energy density,which is crucial for reliable remote detonation systems in mining and demolition applications.Thanks to tantalum anode technology and Vishay’s advanced dielectric molding technology,these capacitors maintain stable electrical performance even in the most challenging environments.

　　Rigorous Testing for Reliability

　　To ensure reliability under harsh conditions,each TX3 series capacitor undergoes more stringent testing protocols than standard commercial products.Every device is subjected to 100%surge current testing and two additional critical electrical characteristic screenings to minimize batch-to-batch variations.The capacitors are encapsulated with a hard plastic resin,providing exceptional shock resistance(100 g)and vibration resistance(20 g),and meet MIL-STD-202 standards,surpassing the performance of MLCCs.

　　Specifications and Features


　　Additionally,the TX3 series capacitors feature lead-free(Pb)termination,comply with RoHS standards,and are halogen-free,aligning with Vishay’s green standards.

　　Application Areas

　　The Vishay Sprague TX3 Series capacitors are particularly suitable for electronic detonation systems requiring reliable discharge,excelling in the following areas:

　　Mining:Ensuring safe and reliable detonation systems.

　　Demolition:Providing consistent performance under high-stress conditions.

　　By offering enhanced energy transfer,rigorous reliability testing,and superior mechanical performance,Vishay’s TX3 Series capacitors set a new standard for electronic detonation system performance.These capacitors not only meet the stringent requirements of such critical applications but also ensure safety and efficiency in demanding environments.
