Recognized as a 2014 ACE Award finalist in the Ultimate Products – Passives, Interconnects, & Electromechanical category for its high voltage TCJ Series tantalum polymer chip capacitors.
Greenville, SC – AVX has been recognized as a finalist for UBM Tech’s EE Times and EDN Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Award for Ultimate Products – Passives, Interconnects, and Electromechanical.
AVX’s TCJ Series 125V tantalum polymer chip capacitors were selected as an Ultimate Products finalist due to their being the highest rated voltage tantalum capacitors currently on the market, providing excellent capacitance and ultra-low ESR in a compact chip size, exhibiting high reliability exceeding 1% per 1,000 hours at 85ºC and full-rated voltage, and maintaining 20% recommended voltage derating, which significantly extends the usable voltage range and, subsequently, the number of applications for which the series is ideal.
“AVX is continuously engaged in developing innovative products designed to provide our customers with high quality, high reliability solutions to their most demanding design problems, so it’s an honor to be recognized as an ACE Awards finalist for Ultimate Products,” says AVX Vice President of Sales, Pete Venuto.
The Ultimate Products of the Year Awards, which are presented to the most significant products introduced in the last 12 months in 12 different categories, are determined by a large-scale peer review process, during which expert editors from both EE Times and EDN review and choose finalists in each category.
EE Times and EDN ACE Awards are presented in 25 categories and are judged by a blue-ribbon panel of industry experts that is comprised of the leading voices of academics, industry executives, and content experts. These judges select the winners in all categories except the STEM Impact Award, the winner of which will be chosen by the EE Times and EDN communities.
“Congratulations and a sincere ‘thank you’ to all our award finalists for the inspiration you continue to provide to the electronics industry at large each and every day,” says Patrick Mannion, VP/Brand Director, UBM Tech, Electronics. “Each year our awards program showcases the unique best of breed products, companies, and individuals that have influenced our industry. The 2014 finalists represent the execution of true creativity and progressive technologies that illustrates the influence electronics and embedded design professionals have on today’s culture.”
The Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Awards celebrates the creators of technology who demonstrate leadership and innovation in the global industry and shape the world we live in. These creators, and their innovations, will be recognized at the EE Times and EDN ACE Awards ceremony on April 1, 2014, as part of UBM Tech’s EE Live! Conference.
