An improved surface mountable tantalum capacitor and method of making same are disclosed. In accordance with the method of tubular tantalum container is fully or partially filled with tantalum powder, sintered to bond the powder to itself and to the container and thereafter conventionally processed to form dielectric and counter-electrode coatings. An anode termination is secured to an exterior surface of the container and a cathode termination is secured to a portion of the counter-electrode exposed through an opening in the container. The resultant capacitor is characterized by high capacitance per volume, a small footprint, shock resistance and low ESR. |
