Low-profile design for tantalum polymer capacitors
Epcos is now shipping polymer tantalum capacitors in case size X, measuring only 1.5 mm high, 7.3 mm long and 4.3 mm wide.
The 240 page databook clearly classifies the Epcos range into the following terminal styles: screw terminals, snap-in, solder pin, soldering star and axial-lead capacitors.
In addition to their use in consumer and industrial electronics, Epcos aluminium electrolytic capacitors are widely used in demanding applications such as lamp ballasts and in automotive electronics, where they operate under tough electrical and mechanical conditions.
Aluminium electrolytic capacitors assume a special position among the various types of capacitors available, as their principle of operation relies, in part, on electromechanical processes.
The main advantage of these capacitors, which has led to their wide use, is their high volumetric efficiency (ie capacitance per unit volume), which enables the production of capacitors with up to 1F capacitance.
This is coupled with the fact that the capacitors provide a high ripple current capability together with a high reliability and an excellent price/performance ratio.
