MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (May 18, 2009) - AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of advanced
passive components and leaded solutions, has developed an interactive CD that encompasses AVX's broad tantalum and OxiCap® product offering and engineering capabilities. Designated 'Tantalum City,' the instructional CD from AVX's tantalum and niobium oxide divisions contains full technical specifications of AVX' broad and widening tantalum and OxiCap product families, full details of the company's manufacturing capabilities, approvals and certifications, applications notes, white papers and more.

"The Tantalum City CD is more than a standard catalogue of parts and specs," said Tomas Zednicek, Tantalum Technical Marketing Manager. "We have developed an informative and fun environment for customers to learn more about our products, technology, and capabilities."

Presented in an entertaining and inviting style, users access information by 'visiting' buildings in AVX's Tantalum City. The CD also includes appealing artwork, games and screensavers.

Tantalum City is freely available from AVX at avxta.com. A preview can also be seen
