AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of passive components and interconnect solutions, has recently made its high-reliability, military-qualified ceramic and tantalum capacitorsThe tantalum capacitor distinguishes itself from other capacitors in having high capacitanceThat property of a system of conductors and dielectrics which permits the storage of electricity when potential difference exists between the conductors. Its value is expressed as the ratio of a quantity of electricity to a potential difference. A capacitance value is always positive. per volume and weight. Relative to other electrolytic capacitors, tantalum capacitors have low resistance, low leakage, and can operate in higher temperature environments, but non-electrolytics are even better in these regards. available for fast prototype delivery through Digi-Key, a global electronics components distributor recognized as the industry-leader in selection, availability and delivery.
Ideal for a variety of military and aerospace applications, newly available high-reliability tantalum capacitor series include AVX's Military Tantalum CWR09/11/19/29 and CWR15 Series, the world's smallest military-approved tantalum chip capacitors, as well as its hermetically sealed TWC (MIL-PRF-39006) Series of wet electrolytic tantalum capacitorsThe tantalum capacitor distinguishes itself from other capacitors in having high capacitanceThat property of a system of conductors and dielectrics which permits the storage of electricity when potential difference exists between the conductors.

"Making these product lines available through Digi-Key enables us to provide fast and efficient prototype delivery of our trusted mil-aero capacitor series to design engineers worldwide"
AVX's high-reliability ceramic capacitorsThe main differences between ceramic dielectricThe insulating material between the plates of the capacitor. The material is chosen for its ability to permit electrostatic attraction and repulsion to take place across it. The material will have the property that energy required to establish an electric field is recoverable in whole or in part, as electric energy. In other words, a good dielectric material is a poor conductor of electricity while being an effective supporter of electrostatic fields. types are the temperature coefficient of capacitanceThat property of a system of conductors and dielectrics which permits the storage of electricity when potential difference exists between the conductors.

The basic unit of a measure of a capacitor. A capacitor charged to 1 volt with a charge of 1 coulombA coulomb is the unit of electric charge. It is named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb.1 coulomb is the amount of electric charge transported by a current of 1 ampere in 1 second. It can also be defined in terms of capacitance and voltage, where one coulomb is defined as one farad of capacitance times one volt of electric potential difference. would have a capacitance of 1 farad. 1 microF = .000001 Farads., rated voltages spanning 50-1000V, tolerances ranging from ±0.1pF to ±5%, and operating temperatures ranging from -55°C to 150°C. The military-qualified capacitors are available in four failure rates: M (1%), P (0.1%), R (0.01%), and S (0.001%), and several case sizes and packaging options are also available.
