ntroduction
The Tantalum capacitors are manufactured with Rohm's unique technology that
provides a class of devices that are highly reliable. They are extremely compact
to allow for high density mounting on printed circuit boards.
The Tantalum capacitors are manufactured in a variety of forms, sizes, and
characteristics to satisfy our most demanding customers. All series of the Rohm
capacitors can be supplied on tapes for use in automated assembly lines.
