MLCCs for high temperatures

12 May 2010 Passive Components

AVX has expanded its offering of multilayer ceramic capacitors to provide high capacitance values at temperatures of up to 150°C. Designated the X8L series, the high-temperature MLCC range has an elevated capacitance performance at a temperature range to accommodate applications in harsh environments.

The X8R series and X8L series MLCCs are RoHS compliant and feature excellent low-loss performance and temperature stability. The X8R series capacitors demonstrate a capacitance variation over temperature of ±15% between -55°C and +150°C, while X8L products have a variation of ±15% between -55 to 125°C and +15/-40% from +125 to +150°C. The new X8L capacitors deliver a CV of 0,47 μF/25 V in an 0805 package, while a comparable X8R device is rated at 0,22 μF/25 V. The X8L series also extends the voltage availability from 50 V (X8R) to 100 V.

Optional termination systems include AVX’s patented FLEXITERM, which ensures the reliability of the components by preventing damage caused by thermal cycling and mechanical flexing. Conductive epoxy terminations for hybrid applications are also available.
