AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of passive components and interconnect solutions, has released its TCM series of SMD tantalum polymer multi-anode capacitors with ultra-low ESR. More, the first-on-the-market, 22µF/35V high-voltage polymer multi-anode part features industry’s lowest ESR of just 25mΩ.

The low ESR rating suits the new TCM capacitors to applications such as high performance power circuits, telecoms and wireless data transfer applications. They also withstand large surge currents, operate at higher frequency and handle high ripple currents.

TCM series capacitors also feature a very safe, reduced-ignition failure mode. Their construction uses a conductive polymer cathode which contains no free oxygen or oxygen molecules which might otherwise be easily released. Therefore the capacitors are very robust against overloading and thermal runaway, thereby enabling a decrease in recommended voltage derating down to 20%, further increasing their suitability in high power applications and extending its usage to 24V rail voltage devices. Capacitors are also inherently extremely reliable with failure rates of better than 1%/1000 hours at 85ºC and full rated voltage.
