Characteristics of titanium electrolytic capacitors

Properties of titanium electrolytic capacitors produced by a newly developed oxidation process are described. Molten-salt electrolytes were utilized in the formation of the titanium oxide film. The characteristics of the titanium electrolytic capacitors are very similar to those of tantalum electrolytic capacitors except that the leakage current is somewhat larger. The results of life tests made on the titanium capacitors are presented.
