Full paper download Tantalum capacitors are the preferred choice for applications requiring the highest energy density, best reliability, low ESR, and excellent stability over wide ranges of time and application temperatures. This paper shows the latest status of newly developed powders that extend the range of forming voltage to 300 V and 400 V and thus enables extension of tantalum capacitor voltage ranges to new...

Full paper download A stable, reliable, and responsible tantalum supply chain is critical to the supply of electronic components such as capacitors and semiconductors for the automotive, aerospace, medical, defense, energy, and chemical processing industries.  Until recently, the tantalum supply chain has experienced intermittent periods of stability and volatility. This paper will discuss tantalum supply chain past, present, and future, and how it can now...
