It has been announced that AVX Corporation has launched a new high temperature wet electrolytic tantalum capacitor series, designed for use at 230°C. The new TWA-X Series features a high capacitance cathode system that achieves high CV performance.

AVX has extended its range of space-level ESCC QPL 3009/041 X7R base metal electrode (BME) multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) — the first range of ESCC BME MLCCs fully qualified for use in European, Asian, and American space market applications — with new 0402 and 2220 case sizes.

It has been announced by AVX, that they have released the new SpiCAT online simulation tool. Designed with users in mind, the new simulation software offers access to two separate portals, SpiMLCC and SpiTAN, which supersede SpiCap III and SpiTan IV. 

AVX has developed a cost effective, ultra high reliability, three-piece STRIPT contact system for linear LED and coplanar PCB connections in off-road vehicle lighting applications. Designed to absorb broad end-to-end mating tolerances, handle up to 20A of continuous current, and exhibit robust resistance to extreme shock, vibration, and temperatures.

It has been announced that AVX is now qualified to produce and supply MIL-PRF-123 capacitors at its corporate headquarters in South Carolina. Furthermore AVX has had its M123 Series ceramic chip capacitors added to the Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA’s) Qualified Parts List for MIL-PRF-123. 

An industrial poke-home connector available without a wire stop has been released by AVX. The 2.5mm poke-home contact - the latest addition to its 70-9296 Series STRIPT insulator-less, single-position, horizontal, poke-home contacts - combines a low profile with a range of compatible wire gauges: 20-26AWG solid and stranded wire, and offers variants both with and without a wire stop.

A high temperature wet electrolytic tantalum capacitor series has been launched by AVX. Designed for use at 230°C, the TWA-X Series wet electrolytic tantalum capacitors feature a high-capacitance cathode system that achieves high CV performance in standard case sizes and a hermetically sealed, welded tantalum can and header assembly that provides robust resistance against mechanical shock and high-frequency vibration.

AVX Corporation has announced that its subsidiary, AVX Interconnect Europe,a limited liability company under German law, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire KUMATEC Sondermaschinenbau & Kunststoffverarbeitung (‘KUMATEC’), a limited liability company under German law. KUMATEC develops, constructs and manufactures automation equipment and processes plastic components.

AVX will exhibit at this year’s International Microwave Symposium (IMS 2018), which will take place at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia 10th to 15th June. AVX’s IMS exhibition will span booths #707 and #713, and will showcase the latest high-performance microwave and RF solutions from AVX and subsidiaries Ethertronics and American Technical Ceramics Corp. (ATC).

  AVX is celebrating the continuing success of NASA’s Curiosity rover (also known as the Mars Science Laboratory), which has spent roughly 2,100 Martian solar days - or sols, which comprise 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35.244 seconds - investigating the planet’s Gale Crater since it landed on 6th August, 2012.

AVX Corporation has released a series of low-profile, high-performance band-pass filters based on AVX’s patented and proven multilayer organic (MLO) high-density interconnect technology. The BP Series MLO band-pass filters incorporate high-dielectric-constant and low-loss materials that are expansion matched to most organic PCB materials, providing improved reliability over standard silicon and ceramic devices, feature an ultralow profile o...

AVX Corporation, is showcasing its portfolio of high-temperature capacitor solutions during the exposition portion of the International Microelectronics Assembly and Packaging Society’s (IMAPS’) International Conference on High Temperature Electronics (HiTEC 2018), which will take place 8th-10th May in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is widely recognised as the industry’s premier biennial technical conference dedicated to the advan...

AVX has released the 9176-800 Series low-profile insulation displacement connectors (IDCs), which reduce the Z-axis height of the next-lowest-profile insulated IDC connector, the 9176-400 Series, by 1mm, reduce the total overall volume of the Standard 00-9176 Series IDCs by more than 50%, and are the first industrial IDCs available in a 2.55mm profile.

A new ‘U’ case (EIA Metric 7361-43) has been added to AVX Corporation’s TRM Professional Series multianode, ultralow-ESR tantalum capacitors, extending the range with several new ratings designed to address the demands of an ever-expanding scope of high-reliability automotive, military, medical, aerospace, and industrial applications.

  AVX Corporation will deliver two technical presentations, teach a tutorial training seminar, co-chair a conference session, and exhibit at the 22nd annual Components for Military and Space Electronics Conference and Exhibition (CMSE 2018), which will take place 7th-10th May 2018 at the Sheraton Four Points Hotel in Los Angeles.

AVX has released a new series of pin jumpers designed for board-to-board (BTB) and module-to-module connections in solid-state lighting (SSL) and other low-pin-count industrial applications. When used in conjunction with the new 2.5mm 70-9296 Series STRIPT horizontal, poke-home contact without a wire stop - which is both the first industrial poke-home connector available without an integral wire stop and, currently, the only indust...
