AVX introduces medical grade tantalum capacitor series for implantable medical devices
AVX has introduced the TAZ HRC5000 medical grade tantalum series. Designed for use in implantable medical devices, the new high-reliability, medical-grade tantalum capacitor series is rated for 4V to 50V and -55ºC to +125ºC, has a capacitance range of 0.1µF to 330µF, and features extremely low DC leakage limits well below typical industry values. Available in case sizes ranging from A-H, the TAZ HRC5000 Medical Grade Tantalum Series capacitors are also some of the smallest tantalum chip capacitors currently on the market.
“AVX is continually engaged in engineering new solutions based both on customer feedback and the anticipation of our customers’ ever-evolving needs, a practice that has led to our longstanding status as the leading global manufacturer of tantalum capacitors for high-reliability implantable medical devices, among several others. The TAZ HRC5000 Series, with its new industry-leading DC leakage standards, application-driven performance specifications, and variety of customization options is just one example of our continuous and highly targeted development efforts,” said Allen Mayar, Tantalum product marketing manager at AVX.
The TAZ HRC5000 Series is available with several customization options to better suit individual medical and other high-reliability/low-leakage tantalum applications. These include custom DC leakage limits, various plating materials (tin/lead solder, 100% tin, or gold), and standard and low ESR variations, in addition to two reliability verification procedures: Weibull grading and surge current testing per MIL-PRF-55365. The series is also available in bulk, tape and reel, and waffle packaging.
