QUALITY STATEMENTS
AVX’s focus is CUSTOMER satisfaction - customer satisfac-
tion in the broadest sense: product quality, technical support,
product availability - all at a competitive price.
In pursuance of the established goals of our corporate wide
QV2000 program, it is the stated objective of AVX Tantalum
to supply our customers with a world class service in the
manufacture and supply of electronic components, while
maintaining a positive return on investment.
This world class service shall be defined as consistently
supplying product and services of the highest quality and
reliability encompassing all aspects of the customer supply
chain.
In addition, any new or changed products, processes or
services will be qualified to established standards of quality
and reliability.
The objectives and guidelines listed above shall be achieved
by the following codes of practice:
1.
Continual objective evaluation of customer needs and
expectations for the future and the leverage of all AVX
resources to meet this challenge.
2.
Continually fostering and promoting a culture of continuous
improvement through ongoing training and empowered
participation of employees at all levels of the company.
3.
Continuous Process Improvement using sound engineer-
ing principles to enhance existing equipment, material
and processes. This includes the application of the
science of S.P.C. focused on improving the Process
Capability Index, Cpk.
The Tantalum division has plants approved to ISO9001:2000
and TS16949:2002 (Automotive Quality System
Requirements) with the intention that all facilities world-wide
will adopt this as the quality standard.
Dedicated series of tantalum and niobium oxide capacitors
meets requirements of AEC-Q200.
The Tantalum division has plants approved to ISO14001 with
the intention that all facilities world-wide will adopt this as the
quality standard.

Introduction
AVX Tantalum
AVX Paignton UK is the Divisional Headquarters for the
Tantalum division which has manufacturing locations in
Paignton in the UK, Biddeford in Maine, USA, Juarez in
Mexico, Lanskroun in the Czech Republic, San Salvador, in
El Salvador and Tianjin in P.R. China.
This division manufactures tantalum and niobium oxide
capacitors. Tantalum is an element extracted from ores
found alongside tin and niobium deposits; the major sources
of supply are Canada, Brazil and Australasia.
Niobium oxide is a ceramic material that can be processed
to the same powder form as traditional tantalum capacitors
and manufactured in an identical process.
So for high volume tantalum and niobium oxide capacitors
with leading edge technology call us first -
AVX your glob-
al partner.
Niobium oxide capacitors have been assigned the OxiCap
TM
trademark.
TECHNOLOGY TRENDS
The amount of capacitance possible in a tantalum
capacitor is directly related to the type of tantalum powder
used to manufacture the anode.
The graph following shows how the (capacitance) x
(voltage) per gram (CV/g) has steadily increased over
time, thus allowing the production of larger and larger
capacitances with the same physical volume. CV/g is
the measure used to define the volumetric efficiency of a
powder, a high CV/g means a higher capacitance from
the same volume.
These powder improvements have been achieved
through close development with the material suppliers.
AVX Tantalum is committed to driving the available
technology forward as is clearly demonstrated by
extended ratings continually being developed, and
new technologies such as TACmicrochip™ and
OxiCap™ technology.
If you have any specific requirements, please contact
your local AVX sales office for details on how AVX
Tantalum can assist you in addressing your future
requirements.

WORKING WITH THE CUSTOMER
- ONE STOP SHOPPING
In line with our desire to become the number one supplier in
the world for passive and interconnection components, AVX
is constantly looking forward and innovating.
It is not good enough to market the best products; the
customer must have access to a service system which suits
their needs and benefits their business.
The AVX ‘one stop shopping’ concept is already beneficial
in meeting the needs of major OEMs while worldwide
partnerships with only the premier division of distributors aids
the smaller user.
Helping to market and support our customers across the
breadth and depth of our electronic component line card are
a dedicated team of sales engineers, applications engineers
and product marketing managers. Their qualifications are
hopefully always appropriate to your commercial needs, but
as higher levels of technical expertise are required, access
directly to the appropriate department is seamless and
transparent.
Total quality starts and finishes with our commitment to cus-
tomer service. Where cost and quality are perceived as given
quantities AVX’s first in class service invariably places us in
the top rank of any preferred supplier list.
Facilities are equipped with instant worldwide DP and
telecommunication links connected to every sales and
production site worldwide. That ensures our customers’
delivery requirements are consistently met wherever in the
world they may be.
