New vPolyTan Solid Tantalum Chip Capacitors Increase Volumetric Efficiency to Save Space in Handheld Consumer Electronics

Vishay Intertechnology introduces a new series of vPolyTan solid tantalum surface-mount chip capacitors that delivers increased volumetric efficiency for handheld consumer electronics. Combining polymer tantalum technology with Vishay’s high-efficiency MicroTan packaging, the T58 series achieves industry-best capacitance-voltage ratings in six molded case codes, including 47μF-6.3V in the compact M0 (1608-10) case and 220μF-10V and 330μF-6.3V in the BB (3528-20).

Leveraging patented MAP (multi-array packaging) assembly technology, the capacitors provide a 10 % improvement in space utilization compared to similar devices
Save PCB space and enable the design of smaller and thinner end products
Rectangular molded case encapsulation is ideal for high-volume PCB assembly
Special lead (Pb)-free L-shaped facedown terminations offer better contact to the solder pad than traditional facedown style terminations
