AVX’s miniature, high CV stacked capacitors reduce component count and shrink board space

The miniature TurboCap Series features a unique double-stacked construction — vertically and horizontally stacked capacitors — to provide high CV values, low ESR values, high current carrying capacity and excellent high frequency performance. The rugged devices are also mechanically robust.

“Utilizing state-of-the-art BME technology, the TurboCap Series stacked capacitors enable designers to reduce their component count, shrink board space and maintain the benefits of ceramics such as low ESR/ESL, ability to withstand transients and the ability to handle large amounts of power in an efficient and compact package,” said Connie Houghtaling, product manager at AVX.

The miniature TurboCap Series capacitors are available in an X7R dielectric and feature a voltage range of 50V to 100V with a capacitance value of 100uf. The stacked capacitors are ideal for DC/DC converters, hybrid vehicles, military/COTS Plus power supplies, medical electronics equipment, industrial equipment, telecom and alternate energy applications.
