ABSTRACT. Contrary to MnO2 tantalum capacitors, transient processes in polymer tantalum capacitors after voltage application might. result in anomalously high, ampere-level currents when a capacitor might appear as a short circuit for a time that is much. greater than a transient time in MnO2 capacitors.

Wet capacitors: storage at 85 °C and 85% RH for one week. Dry capacitors: baking for 16 to 24 hours at 125 °C. Capacitors were tested with time of storage at room environments (20 °C and 40% RH) for four weeks. ACC is negligible for wet parts (<0.1J), but for dry parts Ud might exceed 1J.
ESR increases as a result of soldering for all types of preconditioning; however, degradation was greater for capacitors after moisture soak. Parts after baking increase ESR by 10% to 16%, but in the presence of moisture the increase was 29% to 46%. Internal pop-corning in Ta capacitors might cause delaminations and increase ESR.
Requirements for MSL testing should include measurements of ESR and surge current testing. Decrease of C in CPTCs is greater than in MnO2 capacitors. Soldering increases ESR in most types of capacitors, but the level of variations is lot-related. Soldering results in drying off capacitors by 50 to 93%. Effect of Vacuum.
To evaluate the effect of vacuum, three groups of T530 and one group of T525 220 μF capacitors were stored in a thermal vacuum chamber at a pressure of ~ 1E-7 torr and temperature 100 oC for 1900 hours. Interim measurements of AC and DC characteristics were taken after 72 hr, 220 hr, and 540 hours of storage.
