TR8M475M016C4000 - Vishay

TR8M475M016C4000 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for this component?
  The recommended land pattern for the TR8M475M016C4000 can be found in the Vishay Intertechnologies' application note 'Land Pattern Recommendations for Vishay Tantalum Capacitors' (document number 40171).
• How do I handle the component during assembly to prevent damage?
  To prevent damage, handle the component by the body, avoid touching the leads or the capacitor itself, and use an anti-static wrist strap or mat during assembly. Refer to Vishay's 'Handling and Storage of Tantalum Capacitors' application note (document number 40172) for more information.
• What is the derating curve for this capacitor?
  The derating curve for the TR8M475M016C4000 can be found in the Vishay Intertechnologies' 'Tantalum Capacitor Derating Guidelines' application note (document number 40173). The derating curve provides guidance on reducing the voltage rating based on operating temperature and ripple current.
• Can I use this capacitor in a high-reliability or aerospace application?
  The TR8M475M016C4000 is a commercial-grade capacitor and may not meet the requirements for high-reliability or aerospace applications. For such applications, consider using Vishay's high-reliability tantalum capacitors, such as the TR8M475M016C4000HV or TR8M475M016C4000HT, which are designed to meet more stringent requirements.
• How do I determine the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of this capacitor?
  The ESR of the TR8M475M016C4000 can be determined using the impedance vs. frequency curve provided in the datasheet. Alternatively, you can use Vishay's online ESR calculator tool or consult with a Vishay application engineer for assistance.
