Tantalum Capacitors Information
As general characteristics, tantalum capacitors feature compact package sizing & larger capactance and also better temperature & DC bias characteristics, in contrast to multi-layer ceramic capacitors.
Types of chip tantalum capacitors available from ROHM are various such as, “”Bottom-surface electrode type”" having the electrode at the package’s bottom, “”Conductive polymer type”" employing conductive polymer materials in cathode for low ESR, “”Fail-safe open function built-in type”" which is flame-retardant due to internal fusing mechanism and “”Standard type”" long-seller with market-proven stable supply & quality.
Bottom Surface Electrode Tantalum Capacitors
- Bottom-surface electrode type tantalum capacitor - a good solution for the limited space !
- Significant increase of capacitance per size and lower profile are achieved by employing the bottom-surface electrode structure, compared with conventional package.
Conductive Polymer Capacitors
- Conductive polymer type tantalum capacitor, for high-frequency circuit !
- Conductive polymer is emplobyed for cathode materials and ESR (Equivalent Serial Resistnace) is dramatically reduced.
Fale-safe Open Function Built-in Tantalum Capacitor
- Advanced safety precautions !
- Fail-safe open function built-in tantalum capacitor contains fusing mechanism which shuts off the current in case of abnormal heating.
Standard Tantalum Capacitors
- Standard small surface mount tantalum capacitor series.
- This is most popular type.
