Yageo Releases X5R Dielectric MLCC in 100µF, 1210 Size Package
Yageo Corporation (Hsin Tien, Taipei, Taiwan) has announced the release of X5R dielectric multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) in 100µF, 1210 size package targeting applications in today's ultra compact electronic devices where component stability under high temperature are key concerns for manufacturers.Yageo's X5R 1210 100µF surface mount MLCC, which are under 2 micrometers in dielectric thickness, under 1 micrometer in electrode thickness with 800 layers, are available in temperature operating ranges of -55° to 85° and capacitance tolerance of ±15%. The company stated that its advanced X5R technology on a par with its Japanese counterparts was met with the approval of Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs of a grant under the government sponsored 'New Products with Leading Technologies'. Yageo expects mass production of the X5R dielectric MLCC in 1210 100µF size package by the year end.
Dr C L Hu, Yageo's Head of MLCC R&D Centre, said: "Yageo is pleased to offer our X5R dielectric MLCC in 100µF, 1210 size package through successful integration of key state-of-the-art technologies of nano powder coating, embedded electrode precision printing, low-temperature termination. This is made possible through unprecedented joint engineering research efforts of Yageo's global R&D teams, ITRI's Material and Chemical Research Laboratories (MCL), National Taiwan University's Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and technology consultants from Europe, America and Japan".
This product release will lead to changes in the 100µF capacitor markets, which were traditionally dominated by tantalum capacitors. X5R 1210 100µF chip ceramic capacitors provide superior temperature stability and are widely applied to products like notebooks, desktops, consumer electronics and game consoles. It is expected that this new product will effectively replace tantalum capacitors as soon as they reach mass production.
