AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of passive components
and interconnect solutions, has expanded its TRM and TRJ
‘Professional’ Series of SMD tantalum capacitors. Designed for
high-end commercial applications requiring an extended product
life, the TRM Series and TRJ Series provide ultra-stable
parameters, resistance to harsh environments and excellent
reliability.
The Professional TRM Series and TRJ Series tantalum capacitors
feature low ESR values and reduce DCL (DC leakage current) by 25%.
The robust design is capable of withstanding high thermo-mechanical
stresses and operating in harsh environments. Once incorporated
into devices, they boast high reliability levels, with failure
rates of better than 0.5%/1000 hours at 85ºC and full-rated
voltage.
“High-end products need to be affordable, reliable and safe,
whether they are destined for automotive, medical, aerospace,
military or other products that are expected to be durable. Our
Tantalum Division focused on extending product life, increasing
reliability and providing performance enhancements in our
Professional Series, while achieving the right balance between
specification and cost. This extension of the TRJ Series and TRM
Series high-end commercial tantalum capacitor range offers the
right cost/performance proposition for this specific market sector
and will be key to their success,” said Tomas Zednicek, tantalum
division, worldwide technical marketing manager at AVX.
Technical specifications for the TRJ Professional include:
voltage range of 6.3V to 50V, with DCL leakage of 0.0075CV. TRJ
Professional capacitors are twice as reliable as commercial grade
tantalum capacitor products, with mean time between failures (MTBF)
of 200,000 hours. They are designed and tested to withstand high
current surges and are qualified to AECQ-200 automotive
requirements.
The TRM Professional is a multianode type tantalum capacitor
with a voltage range of 6.3V – 50V. Devices offer very low ESR and
DCL leakage of 0.0075CV. Reliability is double that of the standard
TPM multianode product range at 0.5%/1khrs and MTBF is 200,000
hours. The Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) is 0.10% for the TRM
Professional against 0.25% for standard product. The TRM
Professional multianode tantalum capacitors are qualified to
AECQ-200.
Pricing for the TRM Series and TRJ Series is set at competitive
levels with a lead time of 12 weeks.
