AVX Corporation has released a new series of fused high CV tantalum SMD chip capacitors with undertab terminations. The new F98-AS1 Series capacitors feature a proprietary lead-frameless structure with precise dimensions and low stress packaging, an internal thin film fuse that protects against short circuits, and well-established undertab termination technology that enables high volumetric efficiency and high PCB assembly density.
Currently available in a 0805 (2012 metric) S case with four ratings (22F/10V, 33F/10V, 10F/16V, and 1F/35V) and a 0.9mm maximum height, the F98-AS1 Series is the smallest and thinnest SMD fused tantalum product currently available on the market. As such, the series is ideal for use in a wide variety of applications in which safety and size are a primary concern.
