Summary of PANASONIC INTRODUCES POLYMER TANTALUM SOLID CAPACITORS
Panasonic Industry Europe introduced the TPS POSCAP series: compact surface-mount conductive polymer tantalum solid capacitors (3.5 × 2.8 × 1.1 mm) using sintered tantalum anodes and conductive polymer cathodes. They offer 150–330 µF capacitance, 2.5–6.3 V ratings, low ESR (30 mΩ), 105°C reliability for 2,000 hours, high ripple current capability, low impedance at high frequency, and are suitable for compact PC, notebook CPU-adjacent, IoT, and wearable applications.
Parts used in the TPS POSCAP Series Project:
- Sintered tantalum anode
- Conductive polymer cathode
- Palladium terminal plating
- Gold terminal plating
- Surface-mount chip capacitor package (3.5 × 2.8 × 1.1 mm)
Panasonic Industry Europe introduces the new TPS series, a surface mount Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid capacitor series. The POSCAP TPS series capacitors feature sintered tantalum as an anode and highly conductive polymer as the cathode.
TPS series also has a compact design of only 3.5×2.8.x1.1mm and a high-temperature rating of 105°C for up to 2.000 hours. The new capacitors benefit from a rated voltage of 2.5 to 6,3V and a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of only 30mΩ. The capacitance range is rated from 150 up to 330µF.
The very compact TPS series capacitors aim to ensure optimal quality and reliability that renders them ideal for demanding applications like placement close to the processor (CPU) of a notebook or a very compact desktop PC, for example at the rear side of a PCB or under the heat sink.
Also, IoT applications or wearables can benefit from the features of the new POSCAP TPS series by Panasonic Industry Europe.
