One MLSH capacitor can replace three or more D-sized wet tantalum capacitors. Most military aerospace electronics circuits must be designed to operate at -55°C. Wet tantalum capacitors have poor capacitance retention at low temperatures, making it necessary for the design engineers to “spec-in” more wet tantalum capacitors just to meet the minimum capacitance requirement at -55°C. The example shown in the image and table on this slide demonstrate how one MLSH capacitor can replace a parallel bank of four D-sized wet tantalum capacitors. The table compares one MLSH (2200 µF @ 40 VDC) with a parallel bank of four 1000 µF @ 40 VDC wet tantalum caps. The high temperature capacitance (@ 125°C) of the wet tantalum bank is much higher, but it can be seen that at -55°C, the roll-off in the wet tantalum capacitance is huge and measures less than the single MLSH capacitor. The single MLSH capacitor weighs less than four wet tantalums and its cost is roughly 50% that of the wet tantalum solution.
