Vishay launches tantalum capacitors for medical electronics applications 1

Recently, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE stock code: VSH) announced the launch of a new TM8 series of high reliability, surface mount tantalum capacitors with ultra-low direct current leakage current (DCL) as low as 200nA.diode

In early medical equipment platforms, DC leakage was only at a decent level, but now lower DC leakage is required. By using Vishay's unique Multi Array Package (MAP), the new TM8 device significantly reduces DC leakage and achieves better stability. With the help of patented MAP assembly technology, TM8 capacitors provide a robust design for achieving the highest possible reliability and efficiency in these applications. In addition, the device has undergone strict processing and testing in accordance with MIL-PRF-55365 standard.

Within 7 compact dimensions, the TM8 series offers a capacity voltage (CV) rating range from 1 μ F/40V to 47 μ F/10V. Capacitors are well suited for long-term performance requirements in critical applications such as implantable medical devices, medical instruments, and military/aerospace systems. TM8 devices also have special screening and customized options for specific applications.diode

The device released today has been optimized for filtering, coupling/decoupling, DC blocking, and energy storage applications in many devices, such as pacemakers ICD、 Medical devices such as nerve stimulators, hearing aids, and cochlear implants; Medical instruments such as patient monitoring equipment, automatic drug delivery systems, imaging and diagnostic equipment; Military and aerospace hybrid microcircuits/multi chip modules, intelligent military supplies, GPS systems, sensors, and handheld portable electronic systems.diode
