When the fuse exceeds its current limit, the fused capacitor will fail safe by effectively removing itself from the circuit by creating a high resistance path of above 10MΩ. In some cases this can mean the difference between a total circuit loss and barely detectible performance degradation.
Unlike conventional devices that incorporate an embedded lead wire fuse, the TAW series tantalum capacitors are fully lead-free and RoHS compliant. High-reliability applications such as aerospace, automotive, servers and telecoms infrastructure products will benefit from their new, improved design.
