NIC Components Europe Ltd

NIC Components has introduced two new ranges of stacked film chip capacitors. The NSHC and NSPU series combine small size with stability under voltage, stability over time, immunity from cracking and low dielectric loss making them ideal alternative to higher loss and less stable MLCC capacitors. Both ranges are fully RoHS compliant.
The NSHC series uses a stacked metallized polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) film construction that helps it achieve a wide operating temperature range of up to -55ºC to +125ºC. Available case sizes of 0603, 0805, 1206, 1210, 1913 and 2416 allow NIC to offer capacitance values from 100pF to 0.22µF with voltage ratings of either 16VDC or 50VDC. The NSHC series has high heat resistance and delivers very stable temperature, frequency, voltage, bias and dielectric absorption characteristics.
The NSPU series features high capacitance value using stacked metallized acrylic resin film construction. Parts are available in 0805, 1206 and 1210 formats. Capacitance values range from 0.068µF to 1.0µF with a 16VDC voltage rating. Operating temperature range is -40ºC to +85ºC.
Both the NSHC and NSPU series are supplied in tape & reel packaging and designed for reflow soldering processes.
