TDK has expanded its CKG series of ‘megacap’ type MLCCs to include miniature 1608 to 3216 (EIA 0603 to 1206) packages; until now these MLCCs were available only in 3225 to 5750 packages (EIA 1210 to 2220). With dimensions of only 1,9 x 1,3 x 1,5 mm, the new 1608 components are the world’s smallest automotive-grade MLCCs in the megacap class.
The new components have a capacitance of 10 μF and rated voltages from 16 V to 25 V. The high-reliability, automotive-grade MLCCs with lead frames offer enhanced thermal shock and mechanical stress resistance. They are designed for applications in automobiles, base stations and wherever highest reliability is essential.
The advanced structural design of the CKG series enables a very wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and optimal reliability for use in automotive ECUs.
