AVX Corporation has released a new series of fused high CV tantalum SMD chip capacitors with undertab terminations. The new F98-AS1 Series capacitors feature a proprietary lead-frame-less structure with precise dimensions and low stress packaging, an internal thin film fuse that protects against short circuits, and well-established undertab termination technology, which enables high volumetric efficiency and high PCB assembly density. These devices are currently available in a 0805 (2012 metric) S case with four ratings (22µF/10V, 33µF/10V, 10µF/16V, and 1µF/35V) and a 0.9mm maximum height.

The F98-AS1 Series is the smallest and thinnest SMD fused tantalum product currently available on the market. As such, the series is suited for use in a wide variety of applications where safety and size are a primary concern, including: automotive, commercial, industrial, and medical designs and the input/output lines of small power supply circuits, portable gaming devices, and smartphones.

F98-AS1 Series capacitors are rated at 85 degrees C and designed for use in temperatures spanning -55 to +125 degrees C. The series is also lead-free compatible and RoHS compliant. Series extensions currently in development include a 0805 (2012 metric) case 47μF/10V capacitor and 10 capacitors packaged in 0603 (1608 metric) M cases: a 1μF/25V component, a 1μF/20V component, 10V components rated for 2.2μF, 4.7μF, 10μF, 22μF, and 33μF, and 16V components rated for 1μF, 2.2μF, and 4.7μF.
