Matsuo Electric Components

Matsuo Electric
Matsuo Electric Co.,Ltd. is a Japan-based company mainly engaged in the manufacture and sale of electronic components. The Company operates in three business segments. The Tantalum Capacitor segment is engaged in the manufacture and sale of tantalum solid electrolytic capacitors and wet tantalum electrolytic capacitors. The Circuit Protection Element segment is engaged in the manufacture and sale of micro fuses and surge absorbers. The Others segment is engaged in the manufacture and sale of film capacitors and aluminum electrolytic capacitors

Founded in Japan in 1949, Matsuo Electric Co., Ltd. started manufacturing oil-filled paper capacitors in 1950. Today, Matsuo Electric produces and markets tantalum capacitors, film capacitors, and circuit protection components globally. The demand for advanced, large-scale electronics continues to evolve, driven by improvements in performance, functionality, and technological innovation. Since its establishment, Matsuo Electric has adhered to the principle of “Quality First,” consistently acting as a technology-oriented company. In addition to their core tantalum capacitors, Matsuo has also developed and sold circuit protection components and film capacitors to meet generational needs with reliable technology.

Key Products

Tantalum Capacitors

Matsuo Electric specializes in a range of tantalum capacitors, known for their reliability and performance.

Film Capacitors

Matsuo produces a variety of film capacitors, including PET, Polypropylene, and PPS film capacitors.

Circuit Protection Components

Matsuo offers high-quality, high-current, high-voltage fuses suitable for various applications.

Temperature Power Sensors (TPS)

These high-performance control type thermostats can replace electronic thermostats, featuring small size, small differential, long life, and low cost.

High Temperature Type Thermostat

Ideal for high-temperature control in the 150°C~400°C range, this thermostat series brings high cost performance to high-temperature applications.

Disk Type Thermostat

Designed to protect against heavy currents at a low cost, this thermostat is unmatched in its reliability for heavy current cutoff.

Matsuo Electric continues to lead the market with innovative and reliable electronic components, maintaining a strong commitment to quality and technological advancement.

Matsuo Tantalum Capacitors

Matsuo tantalum capacitors are known for their small size, long life, and stable electrical characteristics across a wide temperature range (-55°C to +125°C, with some types up to +150°C). To meet the demands for high-density surface mounting in increasingly miniaturized and high-functionality electronic equipment, Matsuo has developed a variety of chip-type tantalum capacitors. These products offer small size, thin profiles, high functionality, high performance, and circuit protection.

Matsuo Chip Tantalum Capacitor TCA

The Matsuo Chip Tantalum Capacitor TCA series features a tantalum solid electrolytic capacitor with a conductive polymer cathode layer. This design significantly reduces equivalent series resistance (ESR) due to the high electrical conductivity of the polymer, enabling higher permissible ripple current and excellent noise absorption in high-frequency circuits.

Key Features of Matsuo Chip Tantalum Capacitor TCA

  • Low ESR and Low Impedance: The use of a conductive polymer as the cathode layer ensures low ESR and impedance. The TCA series supports high permissible ripple current, making it ideal for noise bypass applications.
  • Stable ESR Over Temperature: The ESR remains extremely stable across a wide temperature range.
  • Compact Size and Large Capacitance: These capacitors are smaller and offer larger capacitance compared to ceramic and aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
  • Benign Failure Mode: The TCA series offers safe characteristics, reducing the risk of ignition and smoking in the event of a short circuit, thanks to the properties of the conductive polymer.
  • Lead-Free and RoHS Compliant: The capacitors are environmentally friendly and meet RoHS compliance standards.
