AVX Corporation, a manufacturer of advanced passive components and interconnect solutions, has announced a new low ESR tantalum capacitor range which includes – for the first time – low ESR 330µF/6.3V parts in a C-case (6032-26). Previously, the only low ESR option within this capacitance/voltage (C/V) ratio was only available in the larger D-case (7343-31).
With an ESR as low as 80mΩ, TPS capacitors are suitable for smoothing and filtering on 3.3V power rails, a favourite output voltage of DC/DC convertors. With a high capacitance capability, these capacitors can also be used as battery support in handheld devices, where small size is one of the key design requirements.
According to Pavla Skopalová, Technical Support for AVX’s European Tantalum Division: “Reducing the case size from D to C will significantly contribute to cost-saving which is a high priority across these price-sensitive market segments. “
TPS tantalum capacitors have a maximum direct leakage current of 19.8μA and a maximum dissipation factor at 120Hz of 12%. Operating temperature range is -55 to 125degC. Importantly, these devices meet the requirements of AEC-Q200 for the automotive industry.
