Wet Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum-Case with Glass-to-Tantalum Hermetic Seal

for - 55 °C to + 125 °C Operation

FEATURES

Vishay HE3 represents a major breakthrough in

wet tantalum capacitor technology for high-energy

applications. The unique case design provides for

the highest capacitance per unit volume. The HE3

also utilizes the proven hybrid technology of our

The HE3 is housed in an all tantalum, hermetically sealed

case, and is manufactured to withstand high stress and

hazardous environments. The design provides a unique

double seal for improved reliability and performance.
