In an effort to miniaturise and increase the performance of electronic devices, in particular their power circuits, manufacturers are constantly looking for new, more efficient and compact electronic components. The greatest challenge in this field has been the miniaturisation of capacitors, which not only perform a number of functions in almost every circuit, but also – on account of their design and principle of operation – are failure-prone components. And yet, damage to a capacitor may go unnoticed, while simultaneously resulting, for example, in reduced transmission speed in microprocessor systems or even the entire network infrastructure (even if only a single decoupling capacitor has failed).

For decades, one of the world's leading manufacturers of electronic components has been Panasonic. As a manufacturer of industrial and consumer equipment as well as components contained in their circuits, the company is well aware of the requirements for modern passive components – and strives to bring innovative solutions to the market. One of them is the technology of production of aluminium-polymer capacitors. These solutions offer a number of advantages which make them a viable alternative to traditional electrolytic capacitors, polymer capacitors and – thanks to the compact size – ceramic capacitors. In the Panasonic’s portfolio, such products are marketed under the name OS-CON, and the TME catalogue features a wide range of these components (more info).
