AVX offers a broad line of solid Tantalum capacitors in a wide

range of sizes, styles, and ratings to meet any design needs.

This catalog combines into one source AVX’s leaded tanta-

lum capacitor information from its worldwide tantalum oper-

ations.

The TAP/TEP is rated for use from -55°C to +85°C at rated

voltage and up to +125°C with voltage derating. There

are three preferred wire forms to choose from which are

available on tape and reel, and in bulk for hand insertion.

AVX has a complete tantalum applications service available

for use by all our customers. With the capability to prototype

and mass produce solid tantalum capacitors in special

configurations, almost any design need can be fulfilled.

And if the customer requirements are outside our standard

testing, AVX will work with you to define and implement a test

or screening plan.

AVX is determined to become the world leader in tantalum

capacitor technology and has made, and is continuing to

make, significant investments in equipment and research to

reach that end. We believe that the investment has paid off

with the devices shown on the following pages.
