Tantalum Through-Hole Capacitors – Hermetically Sealed

T551 Axial Polymer Hermetic Seal (PHS) 125ºC Series

Storage

Tantalum hermetically sealed capacitors should be stored in normal working environments. While the capacitors themselves are quite

robust in other environments, solderability will be degraded by exposure to high temperatures, high humidity, corrosive atmospheres,

and long term storage. In addition, packaging materials will be degraded by high temperature– reels may soften or warp and tape peel

force may increase. KEMET recommends that maximum storage temperature not exceed 40ºC and maximum storage humidity not

exceed60%relativehumidity.Temperaturefluctuationsshouldbeminimizedtoavoidcondensationonthepartsandatmospheres

should be free of chlorine and sulphur bearing compounds. For optimized solderability capacitors stock should be used promptly,

preferably within three years of receipt.
