VISHAY IS GIVING DESIGNERS A NEW SOURCE OF SMALL-FOOTPRINT CAPACITORS FOR MOBILE ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
22 June 2006 - Vishay Electronic

Giving designers a new source of small-footprint capacitors for mobile electronic systems, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today announced the release of a family of leadframeless tantalum capacitors with face-down terminations.

Vishay's new 298D MicroTan surface-mount capacitors provide capacitance values from 1 µF at 16 V to 47 µF at 4 V in the small 0603 and 0805 footprints, requiring less printed circuit board space and thus enabling smaller, more stylish end products.

Ideal for signal processing and power management applications in mobile phones, digital cameras, and MP3 devices, the 298D devices offer a capacitance tolerance of ±20 %, voltage ratings from 4 WVDC to 16 WVDC, low ESR, and 0.01 CV DC leakage values.

The new devices are rated to operate over the temperature range of −55 °C to +85 °C, and can be operated to +125 °C with voltage derating. Offering lead (Pb)-free and RoHs-compliant terminations, the 298D capacitors are provided in 8-mm tape and reel packaging available per EIA-481-1 and reeling per the IEC 286-3.7 inch [178 mm] standard.
