Product Overview
Kemet T140 series extended-range solid tantalum capacitors offer stable performance in critical filtering, bypass, and timing circuits. Built with a sintered tantalum anode and a hermetically sealed metal case, these components provide low leakage and steady capacitance stability across wide operating temperatures.
Key Features
- Sintered solid tantalum construction with hermetic metal seal
- 120 uF capacitance rated at 15 VDC
- Plus or minus 10% capacitance tolerance
- Case Size C metal can with outer plastic insulating sleeve
- Axial wire leads with solder coating
- Polarized construction with positive glass-to-metal seal terminal
Applications
- Power rail decoupling and filtering in vintage audio preamps, consoles, and equalizers
- Precision timing and pulse-forming circuits requiring low dielectric absorption
- Repair and maintenance on legacy industrial controls, instrumentation, and avionics
- Analog synth builds and Eurorack power rail conditioning
Frequently Asked Questions
How is polarity identified on this axial package?
The positive terminal is designated by a printed plus sign (+) on the outer sleeve adjacent to the glass-to-metal end seal.
What are the physical dimensions for this component?
This unit uses Kemet Case Size C, with nominal dimensions of 7.34 mm (0.289 in) diameter and 17.42 mm (0.686 in) body length including the insulating sleeve.
Can this axial part replace a radial capacitor on a circuit board?
Yes, provided lead spacing or point-to-point wiring allows the axial body to sit flat or mount vertically with one lead formed back along the insulated body.

Hermetic tantalums from this generation were built for equipment meant to run for decades without drift. Drop one into an old audio channel or bench supply and hear the noise floor simply vanish.
