AVX introduces low-profile capacitor

An AVX product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Nov 17, 2008

AVX Corporation has developed the high-capacitance Pulsecap capacitor in a low-profile package.

The capacitors are designed for applications such as PCMCIA/USB wireless express cards, where bulk capacitance is needed to boost transmitter power.

These large case-size tantalum products are rated at 2,200 microFarads (2.2 milliFarads/ 6.3V).

A maximum case height of 2mm makes them ideal for reduced-height applications.

The 'undertab' termination style - where traditional J leads are replaced by terminations that do not protrude outside the outline of the case - increases volumetric efficiency and allows parts to be positioned very closely together, delivering significant space savings.

Pulsecap devices are RoHS-compatible and capable of withstanding a soldering profile of 3x reflow at 260C.

Operating temperature range is -55 to +125C.

Other applications include wireless data cards, metering and sensors.
