Please be advised that due to issues in the securing of raw materials, the Sanyo-CAP
TC Series of disk ceramic capacitors are starting the end of their life and should not be
specified into new designs. As current raw materials are used up by the factories, S-P
International will only be able to supply parts on a case by case basis, as long as the
factory has enough raw materials to manufacture the specific parts.
This notice applies to all S-P International Sanyo-CAP part numbers with an ordering
part number as per the example: TCxxx/xxx…
The suggested replacement for the affected TC Series parts, is the Sanyo-CAP "UC
Series" of MLCC capacitors.
This series continues to be manufactured with no planned EOL in sight.
Virtually all TC Series disk ceramic capacitors may easily be replaced with
the UC Series, typically with no difference in performance or board layout. The UC
Series offers superior overall performance over the life of the part.
For suggested replacements to any affected parts you may have, please contact the
sales person responsible for your account.
