Introduction
AVX Tantalum
AVX Paignton is the Divisional Headquarters for the Tantalum
division which has manufacturing locations in Paignton in the
UK, Biddeford in Maine, USA, Juarez in Mexico, Lanskroun
in the Czech Republic and El Salvador.
The Division takes its name from the raw material used to
make its main products, Tantalum Capacitors. Tantalum is
an element extracted from ores found alongside tin and
niobium deposits; the major sources of supply are Canada,
Brazil and Australasia.
So for high volume tantalum capacitors with leading edge
technology call us first -
AVX your global partner.
TECHNOLOGY TRENDS
The amount of capacitance possible in a tantalum capacitor
is directly related to the type of tantalum powder used to
manufacture the anode.
The graph following shows how the CV/g has steadily
increased over time, thus allowing the production of larger
and larger capacitances with the same physical volume.
CV/g is the measure used to define the volumetric efficiency
of a powder, a high CV/g means a higher capacitance from
the same volume.
These improvements in the powder have been achieved
through close development with the material suppliers.
AVX Tantalum is committed to driving the available technology
forwards as is clearly identified by the new TACmicrochip
technology and the standard codes under development.
If you have any specific requirements, please contact your
local AVX sales office for details on how AVX Tantalum can
assist you in addressing your future requirements.

WORKING WITH THE CUSTOMER
- ONE STOP SHOPPING
In line with our desire to become the number one supplier in
the world for passive and interconnection components, AVX
constantly feels the need to look forward and innovate.
It is not good enough to market the best products, the
customer must have access to a service system which suits
their needs and benefits their business.
The AVX ‘one stop shopping’ concept is already beneficial
in meeting the needs of major OEMs while worldwide
partnerships with only the premier division of distributors aids
the smaller user.
Helping to market the breadth and depth of our electronic
component line card and support our customers are a
dedicated team of commercial sales people, applications
engineers and product marketing managers. Their qualifica-
tions are hopefully always appropriate to your commercial
need, but as higher levels of technical expertise are required,
access directly to the appropriate department is seamless
and transparent.
Total quality starts and finishes with our customer service,
and where cost and quality are perceived as given quantities
the AVX service invariably has us selected as the preferred
supplier.
Facilities are equipped with instant worldwide computer and
telecommunication links connected to every sales and pro-
duction site worldwide. That ensures that our customers
delivery requirements are consistently met wherever in the
world they may be.

TAJ Series
The TAJ standard series encompasses
the five key sizes recognized by major
OEMs throughout the world. The V case
size has been added to the TAJ range
to allow high CVs to be offered. The
operational temperature is -55°C to
+85°C at rated voltage and up to +125°C
with voltage derating in applications
utilizing recommended series resistance.
TAJ is available in standard and extended
ranges.
