Ok thanks, now I got it. Strange that the tool doesn't recognize their
own part numbers. Still, why do they stop at 50V while it is a 100V part?

I really prefer the old datasheet method. Faster, and you can store it
as a document for ECO release. An online tool result doesn't necessarily
cut the mustard when the agency guys audit my designs.

But the graph stops at 50V while it's s'posed to go to 100V ...

Do you really want to see the cap drop by 80%?

I want to know where it does. One reason for that is to be able to model
overvoltage spikes somewhat properly.

A cap that's spec'd at 100V ought to have graphs that go to 100V. Why
don't they do that? From experience I can tell you that this would raise
the hackles at agency testing. And that's never a good thing to happen :-)

Tantalums are quite excellent (typically 10%, stable enough e.g. for long
period timing), but they have a tendancy to explode.

By removing the moist electrolyte from the capacitor, replacing it with a
conductive organic polymer, the alpos get tantalum grade performance without
the risk of incineration.
