Automotive RF chip capacitors

21 August 2013 Passive Components

AVX has introduced a new series of AEC-Q200 qualified RF chip capacitors for automotive applications. Available in 0402 and 0603 case sizes, the new C0G (NP0) dielectric automotive ‘U’ series capacitors exhibit ultra-low ESR, high Q, and lot-to-lot uniformity that meets or exceeds the requirements of AEC Q200.

Lead-free and RoHS compliant, the new parts are suitable for use in automotive Wi-Fi, collision avoidance, vehicle communications and traffic alert system applications.

The capacitors are rated for use in temperatures ranging from -55°C to +125°C and feature lead-free, plated Ni/Sn terminations. Capacitance values and tolerances for the 0402 case size range from 0,2 pF to 22 pF at 1 MHz. For the 0603 case size, capacitance values and tolerances span 1,0 pF to 100 pF at 1 MHz.

Automotive ‘U’ series capacitors are also available in four working voltage values: 25 and 50 WV d.c. for 0402 case size parts and 50, 100 and 200 WV d.c. for 0603 case size parts.
