Section 3: Introduction
Foreword
AVX offers a broad line of solid tantalum capacitors in a wide
range of sizes, styles, and ratings to meet any design needs.
This catalog combines into one source AVX’s leaded tanta-
lum capacitor information from its worldwide tantalum oper-
ations.
The TAP is rated for use from -55°C to +85°C at rated
voltage and up to +125°C with voltage derating. There
are three preferred wire forms to choose from which are
available on tape and reel, and in bulk for hand insertion.
Four sizes of molded axials, the TAR series, are also
available. The TAR is fully marked and available on tape and
reel for high speed insertion. The TAA is a hermetically sealed
series also with four case sizes available.
AVX has a complete tantalum applications service available
for use by all our customers. With the capability to prototype
and mass produce solid tantalum capacitors in special
configurations, almost any design need can be fulfilled.
And if the customer requirements are outside our standard
testing, AVX will work with you to define and implement a test
or screening plan.
AVX is determined to become the world leader in tantalum
capacitor technology and has made, and is continuing to
make, significant investments in equipment and research to
reach that end. We believe that the investment has paid off
with the devices shown on the following pages.

Dipped Radial Capacitors
TAP Series
SOLID TANTALUM RESIN DIPPED CAPACITORS
TAP is a professional grade device manufactured with a flame retardant
coating and featuring low leakage current and impedance, very small
physical sizes and exceptional temperature stability. It is designed and
conditioned to operate to +125°C (see page 100 for voltage derating
above 85°C) and is available loose or taped and reeled for auto insertion.
The 15 case sizes with wide capacitance and working voltage ranges
means the TAP can accommodate almost any application.

MARKING
Polarity, capacitance, rated DC voltage, and an "A" (AVX
logo) are laser marked on the capacitor body which is made
of flame retardant gold epoxy resin with a limiting oxygen
index in excess of 30 (ASTM-D-2863).
