AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of passive components and interconnect solutions, has introduced its new TMJ S1gma Series high-reliability SMDDiscrete miniature capacitors which are packaged without leads and fastened directly to foil patterns. 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., which offer three levels of next-generation statistical screening and process control enhancement for applications that require both exceedingly high reliability and extremely low DC leakageLow DC leakage current.Low DC leakageLow DC leakage current. current. current (DCLLow DC leakageLow DC leakage current.Low DC leakageLow DC leakage current. current. current.).
Twice as reliable as basic commercial 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., the new TMJ S1gma Series capacitors feature an impressively scant baseline part failure rate of less than 0.5 percent per 1,000 hours at 85degC and rated volts. Available with DCLLow DC leakageLow DC leakage current.Low DC leakageLow DC leakage current. current. current. limits of 0.001CV (on selected codes) and 0.005CV, TMJ S1gma Series capacitors also exhibit the lowest DCLLow DC leakageLow DC leakage current.Low DC leakageLow DC leakage current. current. current. of any existing tantalum capacitor currently on the market, making them ideal for a variety of avionics, medical, safetyClass X capacitors are used in "across-the-line" applications where their failure would not lead to electric shock. Class X safety caps are used between the "live" wires carrying the incoming AC current. In this position, a capacitor failure should not cause any electrical shock hazards, rather, a capacitor failure "between-the-lines" would usually cause a fuse or circuit breaker to open. system, and long-life battery operated circuit applications, such as remote wireless modules.
Statistical screening for the TMJ S1gma SMDDiscrete miniature capacitors which are packaged without leads and fastened directly to foil patterns. tantalum capacitor series is available in three levels: S1gma Prime, S1gma Premium, and S1gma Pro Custom. S1gma Prime uses three electrical screenings to remove maverick parts from the distribution. S1gma Premium utilizes AVX's patented Q-Process in addition to the three S1gma Prime screenings to effectively identify and remove any components that may experience excessive parametric shifts or instability in operation; and S1gma Pro Custom can employ one or both of the three S1gma Prime and Q-Process screening techniques to identify and remove parts according to specific custom parameters. The series' 0.001CV limit can only be attained via S1gma Premium and S1gma Pro Custom screening on selected codes.
