Axial leaded ceramic capacitor include both monolithic and multilayer types to provide a wide capacitance of 1pF through 1µF. The class 1 temperature compensating (NPO) products can be used in circuits to stabilize frequency and temperature characteristics. The class 2 X5R and Y5V dielectrics are optimum for bypass capacitors.

AVX has developed a broad range of tantalum capacitor for embedded control systems. The TPS and TPM Series provide low ESR and improve the filtering capability and power rating within small dimensions and reduced height. Recently released new mirror-design multianode tantalum capacitor in the TPM D-case with 2.9 mm height are said to provide anÂ

Ceramic is the dielectric material used in the manufacture of ceramic capacitor.  Dielectrics are the insulating material between the plates of capacitors.  This material is chosen for its ability to permit electrostatic attraction and repulsion to take place across it.  Ceramic is an excellent dielectric material because it is a poor conductor of electricity while being an effec

A tantalum capacitor consists of a porous tantalum core surrounded by tantalum pentoxide. A tantalum wire is embedded into the core and extends axially from the part. The oxide layer is coated with manganese dioxide, graphite, a silver conductive layer and solder as illustrated in the figure at left.

A capacitor is a device that stores an electrical charge.

High Volumetric Efficiency

Tantalum capacitors offer high volumetric efficiency (CV/cc) compared with other capacitors types. In many applications, a 100 microfarad aluminum can be replaced with a 10 microfarad tantalum. Because of their package dimensions, tantalum capacitors enable circuit designers to optimize powder dissipation capability within the confines of precious circuit space. Also, their compact shap
