Greetings:

Hi and welcome to the August issue of 1st Alert.

In addition to new tantalums offerings this month, we are also working on a NP0/C0G vs. Film capacitor comparison chart. It will be be completed very soon. It will briefly outline the major design and electrical characteristic differences between the two types of components. We believe it will be an un-biased comparison (based on several literature sources that include Film capacitor manufacturers). If you are interested in seeing and reviewing this comparison chart, please let me or a salesperson know and we will forward a copy to you.

Also, this month we have product additions and expansions of values in our Low ESR Tantalum capacitor line.

As always, thanks for reading...and remember, engineers make the world go 'round!

Sincerely,

Nathan Bailey
