KYOCERA AVX COMPONENTS CORPORATION
KYOCERA AVX is a leading international manufacturer and supplier of a vast portfolio of advanced electronic components, including: capacitors, inductors, filters, resistors, couplers, diodes, and circuit protection devices, as well as a broad range of innovative sensor, control, connectors and antenna solutions.
ARRAYS
KYOCERA AVX surface mount capacitor arrays are integrated passive components with design capabilities of up to 4 capacitor elements in a single case.
AUTOMOTIVE CERAMIC CAPACITORS (SMD)
KYOCERA AVX offers a wide range of ceramic capacitors and capacitor arrays qualified to the AEC-Q200 automotive specification.
C0G (NP0) CAPACITORS – MLCC
C0G (NP0) class I ceramics offer one of the most stable capacitor dielectrics available. This dielectric material has a capacitance change with temperature of 0 ± 30ppm/°C and essentially zero voltage coefficient.
ESD-SAFE™ CAPACITORS – MLCC
The ESD-Safe™ series is an enhanced MLC capacitor developed and designed specifically for general Electro Static Discharge (ESD) protection. The small footprint makes them an ideal solution for transient integration in high density electronic devices. ESD-Safe™ capacitors are utilized for ESD protection of I/O gates, voltage lines and interfaces. ESD capacitors could be used on nearly every pin of an electronic module. Their use averages the transient voltage that the wiring harness can be charged to.
FLEXIBLE TERMINATIONS
Flexiterm® is designed to enhance the mechanical flexure and temperature cycling performance of a standard ceramic capacitor with an X7R dielectric.
CAPGUARD® CAPACITORS
KYOCERA AVX’s surface mount CapGuard® products are designed to provide both transient voltage protection and EMI/RFI suppression for electronic circuits. CapGuards® are ideally suited to filter out EMI/RFI noise generated by switch mode power supplies or motors on DC lines or I/O lines in electronic circuits. With multilayer varistor (MLV) utilized in CapGuard® product, effective transient voltage protection is achieved to protect sensitive electronics from high voltage transients. The capacitor, on the other hand, absorbs high frequency noise on the line. The MLCC capacitors are designed with temperature stable X7R dielectric, allowing for wide temperature use with good capacitance stability. The surface mount CapGuards® are characterized with a very small form factor to minimize board space. The parts are assembled using high melting point solder (268ºC solidus / 290ºC liquidus) allowing for standard reflow processing during board level assembly without a risk of reflowing HMP solder.
MLCC GOLD TERMINATION (AU)
KYOCERA AVX will support those customers for commercial and military Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors with a termination consisting of Gold. This termination is indicated by the use of a “7” or “G” in the 12th position of the KYOCERA AVX Catalog Part Number. This fulfills KYOCERA AVX’s commitment to providing a full range of products to our customers. Please contact the factory if you require additional information on our MLCC Gold Termination.
HIGH TEMPERATURE CERAMIC CAPACITORS
For harsh environmental application conditions demanding high temperature and robust components, AVX offers surface mount ceramic capacitors with excellent performance across a wide range of temperatures.
HIGH VOLTAGE SURFACE MOUNT
KYOCERA AVX high voltage components are offered in various styles including surface mount MLCC chips for high voltage systems up to 3kVDC. These capacitors present high value, small case size, and low leakage characteristics.
