TDK has introduced a series of high-value metal-framed multi-chip ceramic capacitors for automotive electric power trains, on-board chargers and wireless power transfer systems, where the capacitors must handle high currents or voltages, or have high capacity. “To meet these needs, TDK developed the CA series, the largest MLCCs in the industry [6 x 5.6 x 6.4mm] with a metal frame ...

Kyocera AVX has released low-ESR C0G/NP0 dielectric RF MLCCs (multi-layer ceramic chip capacitors) “inspired by communications market demand for smaller RF capacitors that deliver repeatable performance”, it said. Called KGU, they come in values from 0.1 to 100pF with tolerances as low as ±0.05pF. They come in four chip sizes: 01005, 0402, 0603 or 0805 (EIA). Class I C0G, also ...

Samsung has created a 630V 100nF multi-layer ceramic capacitor in 1210 size (3.2 x 2.5mm) specifically for electric vehicle dc-dc converters and on-board chargers. CL32B104KHU6PN has an X7R dielectric (±15% capacitance -55 to +125°C) and a maximum rated voltage of 630V. “A dc-dc converter converts high voltages to 12Vdc in order to operate in-vehicle infotainment systems, for example,” according to ...

At 160µm tall, Murata is claiming to have the thinnest automotive-rated 1µF capacitor, which also measures 0.5 x 1mm. To reduce inductance, it has its terminals along the long sides – so called ‘reverse’ construction. Rated at 2.5V and having a maximum height of 180µm, LLC15SD70E105ME01# is one of only two membeds of a new family that the company has ...

Murata is offering a 4V 10μF ceramic capacitor with ±20% tolerance in a 0201 – 0603M package. “They are currently the smallest MLCC products on the market to deliver such capacitance levels,” claimed the company, “representing a 65% size reduction on the 0402 – 1005M products that would normally need to be specified. ” Called GRM035R60G106M, the parts a -55 ...

Kyocera has announced NP0 dielectric MLCCs (multi-layer ceramic capacitors) approved to the Defense Logistics Agency Qualified Products Database (DLA QPD) for high-reliability military applications. “The new MIL-PRF-32535 BME NP0 MLCCs have higher CV capabilities than standard surface-mount PME MLCCs qualified to military and aerospace specifications and are currently available in M and T reliability levels and 0402, 0603, and 0805 ...

Distributor Rutronik is stocking a 100V multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCCs) from Samsung Electro-Mechanics. The part, called CL32Y106KCVZNWE, has a capacitance of 10μF and uses an X7S dielectric to get it into a 3.2 x 2.5 x 2.5mm package. Rutronik is promoting it for use on 48V power rails, where companies are switching up from 12V to increase power efficiency. “The ceramic ...

Johanson Dielectrics is offering a range of novel multi-layer ceramic devices that combines two balanced shunt capacitors with mutual inductance cancellation, and a certain amount of shielding.

Johanson Technology is offering high-Q capacitors with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) for high power RF applications. Called the E-Series, “in addition to minimising energy loss, Johanson Technology’s high-Q capacitors reduce thermal noise caused by ESR to assist in maintaining desired signal-to-noise ratios”, according to the firm. The firm claims to use the lowest loss dielectrics, inks and electrode options. ...

Syfer has added higher voltage ceramic capacitors to its AEC-Q200 series of MLCCs, extending maximum working voltage in the series from 2kV up to 4kV. “Designed for electric vehicle applications where ever higher voltages are needed, but where a margin for derating has to be accommodated for, they are ideal for power train use, like battery management and invertors,” claimed ...
