Over the last decade, supply chain risks in the tantalum industry have decreased and consumers of tantalum can have greater confidence in the reliable supply of tantalum, both now and in the future
Effective November 25, 2019 all Mil-PRF-39009, Military type RER resistors manufactured in Columbus, Nebraska and Juarez, Mexico are released for Shipment.
Over the past years, multi-layer ceramic capacitors have undergone significant improvements. The volumetric density has increased several folds. This unfortunately resulted in a big increase in DC and AC bias sensitivity for many parts.
MLCC capacitors are dominating today’s capacitor market enabling high grade of electronics miniaturization. The continuous downsizing and use of higher and higher dielectric constant materials for MLCC class II capacitors has however resulted in worsening of some electrical parameters stability such as capacitance drop at operating conditions.
Yageo Corporation and KEMET Corporation today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Yageo will acquire all of the outstanding shares of KEMET’s common stock for US$27.20 per share.
Usage of the commercial (automotive) Tantalum capacitors with a traditional 50% derating can be a more expensive, less reliable, and less efficient solution, especially, at higher application voltages
