Limited quantity samples of the TCJ Series 125V version are now available, with volume production available during next year.

AVX developed the technology for the new high voltage tantalum capacitors by optimizing processes that improve capacitor performance, and working in close co-operation with polymer suppliers.

Conductive polymer will provide low ESR and reduced ignition failure mode and due to polymer capacitors surge robustness, they can support a lower derating figure of 20%.

AVX’s new developments in polymer technology address the working voltage limits and are expected to yield even higher-rated products in the future.

The company’s tantalum polymer capacitors feature a conductive polymer electrode that reduces ignition failure mode.
