AVX Corporation'sTCJ series is a surface mount polymer tantalum capacitor. The developed 35V 10uF capacitor comes in a C case size (6.0mm x 3.2mm x 2.6mm). This capacitor delivers a high operating voltage for tantalum capacitors with a conductive polymer cathode of 35V.Combined with a low profile design, the high operating voltage reduces the part count and provides design flexibility in board layout. This TCJ capacitor is ideal for applications such as DC/DC converters supplying power for LCD TV's, base stations, rectifiers, switching hubs, routers, and line filters as well as LED power drivers in PC monitors and LED TV's. The 35V TCJ capacitor also exhibits low ESR and requires derating by only 20 percent (up to 85°C), enabling it to be used at 28V for additional applications.The entire AVX TCJ series capacitor also features a halogen-free, environmentally compliant design. A polymer tantalum capacitor offers several benefits including capability for higher power output circuits as it works at a higher line voltage and may also withstand higher ripple currents due to polymer tantalum low ESR technology.With an operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C, the TCJ series capacitor has undergone aging and screening processes to assure high reliability, achieving a low failure rate.
