High-reliability tantalum capacitors

25 November 2015 Passive Components

AVX has added more than a dozen new high-reliability SMD tantalum capacitors to its TMJ S1gma series. Available with three levels of statistical screening and process control enhancement for applications in which exceedingly high-reliability, extremely low DC leakage current (DCL), and extended battery life are paramount, the capacitors are ideal for use in the advanced wireless systems employed in automotive, avionics, energy harvesting and safety applications, as well as in a variety of high-end consumer and commercial applications that demand low power consumption and extended battery life.

The TMJ S1gma series is currently available in six case sizes spanning 1206 to 2924, seven rated voltages spanning 6,3 to 50 V d.c., and with capacitance values spanning 0,22 to 680 F; several dozen new part numbers, including those with reduced ESR options, are currently in development.

AEC-Q200 qualified upon request, the capacitors are rated for use in temperatures spanning -55°C to +125°C, and features a capacitance tolerance of ±10%. They are packaged with either RoHS-compliant pure tin plated terminations or non-RoHS tin/lead plated terminations on 7” reels.
