From Evans Capacitor Company

A novel electrolytic/electrochernical capacitor has been developed that lias five-times higher
capacitance density than standard electrolytic devices. The capacitor is comprised of a pressed
sintered tantalum anode. fonned Ta205 dielectric. aqueous electrolyte, and a metal oxide ceramic
cathode. The properties of each constituent are discussed.
Electrical characteristics of a 480 tF, 200 V, 2.5 cc prototype capacitor are reported. Data
presented include discharge capacitance, ac impedance. and frequency analysis. A volumetric
energy density of 4 J/cc was obtained for prototype devices.

Products & Services
Capacitors
Capacitors are electronic components used for storing charge and energy. In their simplest form, capacitors consist of two conducting plates separated by an insulating material called the dielectric.
Power Capacitors
Power capacitors are used in electrical distribution systems to provide a static source of leading reactive power.
Chip Capacitors
Chip capacitors or surface mount capacitors do not have leads.
Tantalum Capacitors
Tantalum capacitors are used in smaller electronic devices including portable telephones, pagers, personal computers, and automotive electronics.
