PRODUCTION ENGINEERING MEASURE FOR IMPROVED RELIABILITY OF SOLID ELECTROLYTE TANTALUM CAPACITORS.
Abstract
During this period, the manufacture of experimental lots of the 330 microfarads-6 V rating proceeded on schedule. Preliminary test results indicate that the most promising technique investigated during the quarter involved a combination of standard powder and a variation in the manganese dioxide coating process. Mechanization of the assembly operation continued, with approximately three quarters of the equipment completed. Design work on the fixtures remaining to be built was finished during the quarter. Life testing on all experimental lots continued, with no catastrophic failures occurring to date on either the 85 C test or the 125 C test. Failures have occurred, however, due to parameter drift caused by high dissipation factor and high leakage current encountered with some lots completing 1000 hours of both tests. (Author)
