Product Overview
The development of reliable surface mount tantalum capacitors began in the late 1980s and continued throughout the 1990s. The smallest SMT tantalums were produced in this way, and soon became the industry standard in a number of applications. This was especially important because of the rapid growth of cellular phones, personal computers, and automobiles with extensive electronic equipment. In addition to being used in many electronics, these devices were ideal for powering these devices.
