ARCO Chip Tantalum Capacitors are designed for surface mount applications including use on hybrid designs. The chips are designed with a flat top to facilitate use with vacuum pick-up equipment and the molded shape guarantees accurate placement on the PC Board.

ARCO Dipped Tantalum ART Capacitors are designed with a solid electrolyte plus a highly stable oxide layer and are finished with an epoxy coating. This type of construction guarantees extremely stable electrical performance over wide temperature ranges for long time periods. In addition, the units permit only a very small leakage current even after long storage. The epoxy coating is non-flammable and is resistant to moisture and mechanical damage. The units can be mounted in any position. They are available in both bulk pack and on tape and reel or in ammo pack for automatic insertion onto a board.
