Recently expanded to comprise more than 50 parts, and slated to include 80+ by year-end, AVX’s portfolio of tantalum polymer capacitors exhibits high capacitance, high voltage, low ESR, and includes several components with industry-leading voltage and CV ratings
AVX’s tantalum polymer capacitors are available in voltages spanning 2.5V to an industry-leading 125V and in case sizes ranging from the miniature 0603 to the large, but low-profile 7343-20 and 7361-20. Featuring conductive polymer electrodes or multianodes, which reduce ignition failure modes, AVX’s portfolio of tantalum polymer capacitors exhibit high capacitance, high voltage, and low ESR capabilities. Ideal applications for the series range from consumer applications – such as smartphones, portable gaming devices, MP3 players, and tablet PCs – to high voltage applications, including: telecommunications equipment, base stations, switching hubs, router and line filters, and DC/DC converters in LED TVs and notebook computer power supplies.
“Expanding our portfolio of tantalum polymer capacitors to include a broader range of voltage, capacitance, and case size options allows us to provide design engineers working in both the commercial and industrial industries with a great deal more design flexibility,” said Allen Mayar, Product Marketing Manager at AVX. “For example, higher voltage, low ESR components allow designers to reduce the number of components on the board, which increases layout flexibility and subsequently enables smaller, sleeker, and more compact products, which are in high demand across a number of industries.”
Lead time for AVX’s TCJ, TCM, TCN, and F38 Series tantalum polymer capacitors is 8-12 weeks. Datasheets may be accessed via the following links:
