0.9mm-High Fused High-CV Ta SMD Chip Capacitors

December 10, 2014 By admin Comments are Off

AVX Corporation has released a new series of fused high CV tantalum SMD chip capacitors with undertab terminations. The new F98-AS1 Series capacitors feature a proprietary lead-frame-less structure with precise dimensions and low stress packaging, an internal thin film fuse that protects against short circuits, and well-established undertab termination technology, which enables high volumetric efficiency and high PCB assembly density. These devices are currently available in a 0805 (2012 metric) S case with four ratings (22µF/10V, 33µF/10V, 10µF/16V, and 1µF/35V) and a 0.9mm maximum height.

The F98-AS1 Series is the smallest and thinnest SMD fused tantalum product currently available on the market. As such, the series is suited for use in a wide variety of applications where safety and size are a primary concern, including: automotive, commercial, industrial, and medical designs and the input/output lines of small power supply circuits, portable gaming devices, and smartphones.

“The new F98-AS1 Series fused undertab tantalum capacitors provide fail-safe high CV performance in a broad range of applications for which safety and size are primary concerns,” said Tomas Zednicek, technical marketing manager at AVX. “Samples of the series received an enthusiastic reception from customers and, thanks to their input, several series extensions, including a higher capacitance 0805 part and numerous 0603 parts, are already in development.”

F98-AS1 Series capacitors are rated at 85 degrees C and designed for use in temperatures spanning -55 to +125 degrees C. The series is also lead-free compatible and RoHS compliant. Series extensions currently in development include a 0805 (2012 metric) case 47μF/10V capacitor and 10 capacitors packaged in 0603 (1608 metric) M cases: a 1μF/25V component, a 1μF/20V component, 10V components rated for 2.2μF, 4.7μF, 10μF, 22μF, and 33μF, and 16V components rated for 1μF, 2.2μF, and 4.7μF.
