Tantalum polymer capacitors raise values

An AVX product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Oct 21, 2005

A new generation of polymer technology is claimed to be between one and three capacitance value steps higher than other devices currently available on the market.

The pressure on manufacturers to add advanced features to devices while attaining new levels of miniaturisation has resulted in significant developments for AVX's family of tantalum polymer capacitors.

This next generation of polymer technology is between one and three capacitance value (CV) steps higher than other devices currently available on the market.

The parts deliver unparalleled capacitance values in 0805, R case size (100uF, 4V); 1206, A case size (47uF, 6.3V) and 1210, B case size (10uF, 6.3V).

High CV capacitors in A and B case sizes at 16V rated voltage - such as 1206 (10uF, 16V), 1210 (22uF, 16V), and 1210 (22uF, 16V) - allow advanced functionality with an operating voltage up to 12V.

Such devices are suitable for power supply applications in handheld equipment including PDAs, cellular phones and notebooks.

The parts offer a 125C operating temperature range, guarantee low ESR, and enable cost-savings due to lower material content.

AVX tantalum polymer capacitors are capable of withstanding three times reflow profile up to 260C.

Devices are manufactured and tested to comply with the latest lead-free, RoHS, and JEDEC020C requirements.
