AVX is offering the THJ 200C surface mount tantalum capacitor which is specified to deliver 1000 hours continuous operation at 200ºC with de-rating.

The capacitors are initially available in two E-case sizes: E 220F rated at 10V for 3V rail application at 200ºC and E 100µF rated at 16V for 5V rail application at 200ºC.

Gold plated termination for hybrid assembly is provided as conventional tin/tin-lead finished terminations have melting points that are too low for reliable operation at 200ºC.

Long life is also a key attribute with leakage current after 1,000 hours operation at 200ºC still less than 1mA.

All THJ 200C capacitors are designed to withstand a 3x reflow soldering process at 260ºC and are RoHS compatible.
