Molded Surface Mount Tantalum Capacitors vs Conformally Coated Capacitors

Molded and conformal surface mount tantalum capacitors have identical physical and electrical parameters. However, molded devices feature a better design and have many application advantages because of their uniform size, flat top with complete identification marking, and compliant leads. Hearing aid manufacturers – and other businesses – that require the most from each unit of volume along with long-term reliability in their products have found molded tantalum capacitors meet their requirements.
