Polymer Tantalum Capacitors
Overview
The Organic Tantalum Capacitor is a solid electrolytic capacitor with a conductive polymer cathode capable of delivering very low ESR and improved capacitance retention at high frequencies. They combines the low ESR of multilayer ceramic, the high capacitance of aluminum electrolytic, and the volumetric efficiency of tantalum into a single surface mount package. Unlike liquid electrolyte-based capacitors, The Organic Tantalum Capacitor has a very long operational life and high ripple current capabilities. The Organic Tantalum Capacitor provides the widest range of voltages, capacitance and case size options and is suitable for general purpose DC applications for up to 48 volt DC voltage rails.
Benefits
• ESR values down to 4 mΩ
• Stable capacitance across temperature and voltage
• High ripple handling
• Volumetrically efficient
• High frequency capacitance retention
• Halogen-free epoxy and RoHS compliant
Applications
Typical applications include DC/DC converters, audio/sound circuits (mobile phone and base stations, smart phones, MP3 players), power supply inputs, portable electronics (notebook PCs, displays, SSDs, HDDs and USBs, digital cameras, GPS
navigation systems, WiFi modules), telecommunications, consumer electronics (analytical and test equipment, high speed servers), high voltage applications such as 12 V to 48 V power input rails, densely populated circuits with space restrictions, microprocessor decoupling, and high ripple current applications.
Environmental Compliance
• RoHS compliant when ordered with 100% Sn, Ni-Pd-Au or non-magnetic 100% Sn solder
• Halogen-free
• Epoxy compliant with UL94 V-0
