Conformal coated tantalums offer maximum utilization of the package outline. This is especially true for low profile (<2mm height) capacitors since no internal lead frame is required. The images on this slide (capacitors with identical footprints) take a closer look at what is meant by the term “volumetric efficiency”. The standard molded with lead-frame image depicts the smallest of the three tantalum pellets, followed by the ability to obtain slightly higher capacitance using the lead-frameless type. However, the largest amount of capacitance, up to 2X that of molded types, can be realized using the Conformal Coated technology.
