Matsuo Electric Co., Ltd., founded in 1949, was the first company in Japan to manufacture and sell film capacitors (1957) and tantalum capacitors (1959). With decades of expertise, the company has developed a comprehensive range of tantalum capacitors primarily in chip form to meet the demands of high-density surface mounting in miniaturized, high-functionality electronic equipment.
Matsuo's tantalum capacitors are characterized by their small size, long life, and stable electrical characteristics over a wide temperature range from -55C to +125C (up to +150C depending on type). Their Type TCA tantalum solid electrolytic capacitors use conductive polymer cathodes for extremely low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance). The company holds IATF 16949:2016 certification for their tantalum and circuit protection components.
