Product Safety Information Sheet
Environmental Information
AVX has always sought to minimize the environmental impact
of its manufacturing operations and of its tantalum capaci-
tors supplied to customers throughout the world.
We have a policy of preventing and minimizing waste streams
during manufacture, and recycling materials wherever
possible. We actively avoid or minimize environmentally
hazardous materials in our production processes.
1. Material Content
For customers wishing to assess the environmental impact
of AVX’s capacitors contained in waste electrical and elec-
tronic equipment, the following information is provided:
Surface mount tantalum capacitors contain:
The encapsulant is made fire retardant to UL 94 V-0 by the
inclusion of inert mineral filler, antimony trioxide and an
organic bromine compound.
2. AVX capacitors do not contain any Poly
The approximate content of some materials is given in the
table below:
The specific weight of other materials contained in the vari-
ous case sizes is available on written request.
The component packing tape is either recyclable
Polycarbonate or PVC (depending on case size), and the
sealing tape is a laminate of halogen-free polymers. The reels
are recyclable polystyrene, and marked with the recycling
symbol. The reels are over-packed in recyclable fiber board
boxes. None of the packing contains heavy metals.

3. Future Proposals
Lead
TAJ, TPS and THJ series supplied today are electroplated
over the terminal contact area with 90:10 tin:lead alloy.
Although the lead comprises much less than 0.2% of the
component weight, TAC series currently have lead free
(100% tin) terminations. Parts will be converted to 100% tin
in 2001.
4. Fire Retardants
Currently the only known way of supplying a fire retardant
encapsulant which meets all our performance requirements,
is to incorporate antimony trioxide and an organic bromine
compound. These materials are commonly used in many
plastic items in the home and industry. We expect to be able
to offer an alternative fire retardant encapsulant, free of these
materials, by 2004. A combustible encapsulant free of these
materials could be supplied today, but AVX believes that the
health and safety benefits of using these materials to provide
fire retardancy during the life of the product, far outweigh the
possible risks to the environment and human health.
5. Nickel alloy
It is intended that all case sizes will be made with a high
copper alloy termination. Some case sizes are supplied now
with this termination, and other sizes may be available.
Please contact AVX if you prefer this.
6. Recycling
Surface mount tantalum capacitors have a very long service
life with no known wear-out mechanism, and a low failure
rate. However, parts contained in equipment which is of no
further use will have some residual value mainly because of
the tantalum metal contained. This can be recovered and
recycled by specialist companies. The silver and nickel or
copper alloy will also have some value. Please contact AVX if
you require assistance with the disposal of parts. Packaging
can by recycled as described above.
7. Disposal
Surface mount tantalum capacitors do not contain any
liquids and no part of the devices is normally soluble in water
at neutral pH values. Incineration will cause the emission
of noxious fumes and is not recommended except by
specialists. Land fill may be considered for disposal, bearing
in mind the small lead content.
