Medical grade MLCCs

15 June 2016 Passive Components

AVX has released the MQ Series medical grade MLCCs (multi-layer chip capacitor). Manufactured, tested and qualified using stringent medical design, in-process and lot acceptance requirements, they deliver the reliability performance required by electronic life support applications, including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and neuromodulation devices.

The components are available in eight EIA case sizes spanning 0402 to 2225, and four dielectric materials: NP0 (C0G), X7R, X7S and X5R. Voltage ratings for the series range from 4 V to 100 V, capacitance values span 1 pF to 100 F, and capacitance tolerances extend from ±0,1 pF to ±30%. The capacitors are also available with four termination options: plated Ni/Sn, 60/40 Sn/Pb, 5% minimum Pb-plated solder, and gold plated.

NP0 (C0G), X7R and X7S MQ series MLCCs are rated for operating temperatures spanning -55°C to +125°C, while operating temperatures for the X5R models range from -55°C to +85°C. MQ series capacitors in 0402, 1210, 1812, 1825 and 2225 cases are compatible with reflow soldering, whereas 0603, 0805 and 1206 cases are compatible with both reflow and wave.
