New AVX Capacitors Exhibit Record High Dielectric Constant with X7R Characteristics
AVX Corporation, a Kyocera Group company and leading manufacturer of advanced passive components, has expanded the AVX family of proprietary high k, intergranular barrier layer dielectric systems. Similar to AVX’s Maxi and Maxi+ product offerings, the new single-layer ceramic capacitor series, designated Ultra Maxi, features X7R characteristics and a dielectric constant of 60,000 – double the previous industry high for Grain Boundary Barrier Layer (GBBL) formulations.Available in voltage ratings of 6.3, 16 and 25 VDC, the new Ultra Maxi Series sets a new standard for circuit miniaturisation, adds AVX.
On average, the required board mounting area will be reduced by approximately two-thirds when compared to an equivalent capacitance value in the Maxi+ series. The Ultra Maxi Series offers an ideal solution for broadband bypass and optical networking applications where high performance and the smallest footprint are the primary considerations.
These Ultra Maxi SLCs are also RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as are all SLC products from AVX.
