We offer a wide choice of suppliers for these ubiquitous tantalum capacitor types
What are SMD tantalum capacitors?
An SMD tantalum capacitor is a type of tantalum capacitor that has contact surfaces on both sides of a case for surface-mounting on a printed circuit board. It is also called a tantalum chip capacitor. SMD tantalum capacitors have different termination styles, such as J-lead, TACmicrochip, undertab/facedown, and conformal. SMD tantalum capacitors are the most common type of tantalum capacitors and are used for applications such as power supply filtering, audio and video equipment, portable devices, and automotive electronics. Kyocera's AVX TAJ series capacitors are general purpose, standard polarized tantalum chip capacitors. The capacitance value ranges from 0.10µF to 2200µF.
