Tantalum Through-Hole Capacitors – Hermetically Sealed
T550 Axial Polymer Hermetic Seal (PHS) 105ºC and DLA 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
notꢀexceedꢀ40°Cꢀandꢀmaximumꢀstorageꢀhumidityꢀnotꢀexceedꢀ60%ꢀrelativeꢀhumidity.ꢀTemperatureꢀfluctuationsꢀshouldꢀbeꢀ
minimized to avoid condensation on the parts and atmospheres should be free of chlorine and sulphur bearing compounds.
For optimized solderability capacitors stock should be used promptly, preferably within three years of receipt.
