This document introduces the features and characteristics of AVX Tantalum products, including the Standard Series, Low Profile Series, High Performance Low ESR Series, Specialist Series, and MIL-C-55365/4, MIL-C-55365/8 Series. AVX Tantalum uses tantalum as the raw material and has achieved larger capacitances through continuous improvements in tantalum powder manufacturing. AVX Tantalum is a global partner providing high-capacity tantalum capacitors with leading-edge technology.
AVX introduces its surface‑mount tantalum capacitor portfolio, covering standard, low‑profile, high‑performance low‑ESR, microchip, and specialist series. The document outlines the company’s global manufacturing footprint and the technology trends that improve volumetric efficiency (CV/g) of the tantalum powder.
Detailed tables list case dimensions, capacitance ranges, voltage ratings, tolerances, ESR values and part numbers for each series. Packaging information, application guidelines, and a Q&A section help designers select the appropriate part for their circuits.
