Product Safety Information Sheet
Material Data and Handling
This should be read in conjunction with the Product Data
Sheet. Failure to observe the ratings and the information on
this sheet may result in a safety hazard.
1. Material Content
Solid tantalum capacitors do not contain liquid hazardous
materials.
The operating section contains:
The encapsulation contains:
TAA - solder, metal case, solder coated terminal wires, glass
TAC - epoxy molding compound, tin coated terminal pads
TAP - solder, solder coated terminal wires, epoxy dipped resin
THJ - epoxy molding compound, solder coated terminal pads
TPS - epoxy molding compound, solder coated terminal pads
The epoxy resins may contain Antimony trioxide and Bromine
compounds as fire retardants. The capacitors do not contain
PBB or PBBO/PBBE. The solder alloys may contain lead.
2. Physical Form
These capacitors are physically small and are either rectan-
gular with solderable terminal pads, or cylindrical or bead
shaped with solderable terminal wires.
3. Intrinsic Properties
Operating
Solid tantalum capacitors are polarized devices and operate
satisfactorily in the correct d.c. mode. They will withstand a
limited application of reverse voltage as stated in the data
sheets. However, a reverse application of the rated voltage
will result in early short circuit failure and may result in fire or
explosion. Consequential failure of other associated compo-
nents in the circuit e.g. diodes, transformers, etc. may also
occur. When operated in the correct polarity, a long
period of satisfactory operation will be obtained but failure
may occur for any of the following reasons:
If this failure mode is a short circuit, the previous conditions
apply. If the adjacent circuit impedance is low, voltage or
current surges may exceed the power handling capability of
the capacitor. For this reason capacitors in circuits of below
3 /V should be derated by 50% and precautions taken to
prevent reverse voltage spikes. Where capacitors may be
subjected to fast switched, low impedance source voltages,
the manufacturers advice should be sought to determine the
most suitable capacitors for such applications.
Non-operating
Solid tantalum capacitors contain no liquids or noxious
gases to leak out. However, cracking or damage to the
encapsulation may lead to premature failure due to ingress of
material such as cleaning fluids or to stresses transmitted to
the tantalum anode.

4. Fire Characteristics
Primary
Any component subject to abnormal power dissipation may
Fumes from burning components will vary in composition
depending on the temperature, and should be considered to
be hazardous, although fumes from a single component in a
well ventilated area are unlikely to cause problems.
Secondary
Induced ignition may occur from an adjacent burning or red
hot component. Epoxy resins used in the manufacture of
capacitors give off noxious fumes when burning as stated
above. Wherever possible, capacitors comply with the
following: BS EN 60065
5. Storage
Solid tantalum capacitors exhibit a very low random failure
rate after long periods of storage and apart from this there are
no known modes of failure under normal storage conditions.
All capacitors will withstand any environmental conditions
within their ratings for the periods given in the detail specifica-
tions. Storage for longer periods under high humidity conditions
may affect the leakage current of resin protected capacitors.
Solderability of solder coated surfaces may be affected by
storage of excess of one year under high temperatures (>40°C)
or humidity (>80%RH).
6. Disposal
Incineration of epoxy coated capacitors will cause emission
of noxious fumes and metal cased capacitors may explode
due to build up of internal gas pressure. Disposal by any
other means normally involves no special hazards. Large
quantities may have salvage value.
7. Unsafe Use
Most failures are of a passive nature and do not represent a
safety hazard. A hazard may, however, arise if this failure
causes a dangerous malfunction of the equipment in which
the capacitor is employed. Circuits should be designed to fail
safe under the normal modes of failure. The usual failure
mode is an increase in leakage current or short circuit. Other
possible modes are decrease of capacitance, increase in
dissipation factor (and impedance) or an open-circuit.
Operations outside the ratings quoted in the data sheets
represents unsafe use.
8. Handling
Careless handling of the cut terminal leads could result in
scratches and/or skin punctures. Hands should be washed
after handling solder coated terminals before eating or smoking,
to avoid ingestion of lead. Capacitors must be kept out of the
reach of small children. Care must be taken to discharge
capacitors before handling as capacitors may retain a residual
charge even after equipment in which they are being used has
been switched off. Sparks from the discharge could ignite a
flammable vapor.
