AVX Corporation Releases New, Medical Grade, Solid Tantalum Microchip Capacitors

AVX Corporation recently announced the release of its new T4C series medical grade solid tantalum microchip capacitors. The smallest medical tantalum capacitors available, the T4C series are designed for filtering, hold-up, timing, and pulsing circuits within implantable, non-life-support and non-implantable life support applications.
As quoted in the press release:

T4C Microchip Medical Series capacitors are manufactured and tested using AVX’s patented and extremely effective Q-Process technology, which was developed to replace the Weibull Reliability Assessment as the industry standard for tantalum capacitors due to its tendency to burn-in potentially unstable units. In use since 2013, the Q-Process effectively removes components that may experience parametric shifts through customer processing or display instability through life testing, ensures stable and normalized DCL distribution, and provides reliability level verification through life testing to a minimum of 0.1% per 1,000 hours with a 90% confidence level.
