AVX Corporation has developed new radial and axial leaded multilayer ceramic capacitors that offer high capacitance levels of up to 1.0microF at 50V and 100V in SR21 radial and 3.3microF at 10V in an SA10 axial configuration. New SkyCap series radial leaded ceramic capacitors are an extension of the existing SR21 family, which provide increased efficiency by allowing very high capacitances at around half the previously available package volume. SkyCap capacitors are the industry’s leading conformally coated radial leaded MLC.

SpinGuard axial leaded capacitors now use the X5R dielectric for the first time and offer a high capacitance of 3.3microF at 10V. These components are also RoHS-compliant and are a suitable replacement for tantalum axial leaded devices.

“AVX is the first company to offer this size of radial leaded MLC capacitor in this capacitance value with 100V rating.” said Tim Piver, Product Specialist. “AVX is also first to market axial leaded MLC with the X5R dielectric. We are continuing to make developments and support customers who need improved performance in leaded devices, while many competitors have de-emphasized the through-hole devices to concentrate on SMD devices.”

Both capacitors are ideal for use in commercial and industrial power supplies as well as other applications requiring higher capacitance values.
