AVX to Convert Commercial SMT Tantalum Capacitors to Lead-Free Technology
January 16, 2003 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Myrtle Beach, S.C. -- In response to the increasing demand for environmentally friendly components, AVX Corp. will convert is commercial line of surface mount tantalum capacitors to lead-free technology during the first six months of 2003.
This conversion involves changing the termination from tin/lead (SnPb) to 100 percent tin (Sn).
The pure tin termination is fully compatible with standard SnPb solders, as well as lead-free solders. The lead-free components can be assembled with existing mounting equipment and production solders with no changes in solderability or quality of the joint.
The change will cover the company's commercial TAJ, TPS and THJ Series of SMT capacitors. Military products and special order commercial products will continue to be available with tin/lead solder terminations.
AVX Corp. is the international technology leader in tantalum surface mount components. For more information, visit www.avxcorp.com.
