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 ...

Kyocera AVX has introduced a series of solderless wire-to-board removable edge connectors. Called 9169-000, they combine insulation displacement contacts for the wire with beryllium copper compression contacts for board edge pattern. Locating ribs engage with slots on the PCB edge for polarisation against improper insertion, and moulded plastic clips drop into holes in the PCB to improve retention. “It is ...

Kyocera AVX has launched two series of snap-in -25 to 105°C electrolytic capacitors for commercial and industrial applications. SNA capacitors are rated for a life of 5,000 hours. Voltage ratings are 250, 420 or 450Vdc, capacitance is between 82 and 1,500µF (±20%), and there are 24 case sizes spanning 22mm diameter x 25mm long to 35∅ x 50mm. As well ...

Kyocera has come out with a series of double-ended linear card-edge connectors with spring contacts. The 9159-7X0 Series adds to the KYOCERA AVX portfolio of linear card-edge connectors by being the first to feature its  beryllium copper spring contact system, which aims to deliver high electrical and mechanical reliability, high signal integrity, and high durability in harsh environment applications. This ...

Nexperia has teamed up with Kyocera AVX to develop an industrial 650V 20A silicon carbide rectifier module. It is aimed at “high frequency power applications ranging from 3kW to 11 kW power stack designs [in] industrial power supplies, electric vehicle charging stations and on-board chargers,” according to Nexperia. It “has a low inductance package and it has been qualified to ...

Kyocera is to consolidate product engineering and development in a new centre at its Shiga Yasu Campus. The aim of new centre is to, strengthen manufacturing capabilities through stronger collaboration among Kyocera’s diverse business divisions, while training new generations of engineering leaders. Drastic changes in the business environment now compel manufacturers to implement new strategies for raising productivity and improving ...

There's an EV merger, a Mannerisms cautionary tale, Kyocera's KAVX057 supercapacitor module, Lancaster University winning an awards at the Flash Memory Summit, and PicoCNC, the Raspberry Pi Pico-based CNC control board...

Kyocera AVX has announced a range of high-capacity supercapcitor banks with low leakage. “SCM Series supercapacitor modules are rated for operating temperatures from -40°C to +65°C and lifetimes that extend to millions of cycles,” according to the company. “They are also lead-free compatible, RoHS compliant, and compliant with the UL 810A standard for electrochemical capacitors.” Initially there are five versions: ...

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 ...

Kyocera has introduced AEC-Q200 qualified supercapacitors for automotive use. To be found in the company’s SCC series, there are four capacitors (diameter x length): 35F 3V SCCU30E356SRBQ (16  x 30mm) 50F 3V SCCV40E506SRBQ (18 x 40mm ) 100F 2.7V SCCV60B107SRBQ (18 x 60mm) 100F 3V SCCV60E107SRBQ (18 x 60mm) where the final Q indicates AEC-Q200 qualification “They can be used ...
