TS20 & TS20L Chip Tantalum Capacitors – Alternative Solutions for SMD Tantalum Applications

Product Background

With the discontinuation of certain chip tantalum capacitor lines in the market, alternative solutions are required for existing PCB designs.
Suntan provides TS20 chip tantalum capacitors and TS20L low ESR chip tantalum capacitors to support SMD tantalum applications.

Series Overview

• TS20 – Standard chip tantalum capacitor series
• TS20L – Low ESR type chip tantalum capacitor series

Both series are designed for surface mount assembly and support compact circuit layouts.

Electrical Characteristics

• Tantalum dielectric structure
• Surface mount configuration
• Low ESR option available in TS20L series

Low ESR types are typically selected for circuits requiring reduced ripple voltage and improved stability in power management sections.

Applications

• DC power supply circuits
• Industrial electronics
• Consumer electronic devices
• Power management modules

Design Considerations

• Verify capacitance and voltage rating compatibility with existing design.
• Evaluate ESR requirements based on ripple current conditions.
• Confirm package size alignment with PCB footprint.
• Review datasheet parameters prior to qualification.
