More Information on T110 and T140 Hermetically Sealed Series
The KEMET T110 and T140 Hermetically Sealed Series, qualified to CECC 30201-011, are designed for use in high humidity environments. These axial through-hole products are compact, ruggedly built, and developed miniaturized circuitry. Especially suited for coupling, bypass, filtering and R-C timing circuits, they exhibit excellent stability, extremely low DC leakage current, dissipation factor, and ESR/impedance over a wide temperature and frequency range. Both the T110 and T140 are available RoHS compliant. Additional testing performed on all orders of these series" includes the following:
Life test 40 hours at 85C 100%
Solderability 13 piece sample
Temperature stability 13 piece sample
Visual inspection 13 piece sample and dimensional 5 piece sample
