What's New @ AVX - Issue 7

SV/SK/SE SeriesRoHS Compliant SMPS Leaded CapacitorsResponding to demands for medium- and high-voltage ceramic capacitors in high-currentapplications such as harsh environment power supplies, high-voltage coupling, high powerrequirements, high ripple current applications and DC-blocking, AVX has extended its SK, SEand SV series to be RoHS compliant.The SK series provides a robust solution designed to handle high currents in medium voltageapplications (up to 500V) such as input/output filtering in Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS).The range and cost is also suitable for commercial SMPS applications. The SE series hasextended capacitance ranges for those applications that require extra capacitance. For highervoltage systems up to 5Kv, the SV series of high-voltage MLC radial capacitors delivers high CVin small case size packages. The devices exhibit low ESR at high frequencies and benefit fromlow leakage characteristics.All versions are offered in C0G and X7R dielectrics, with Z5U for the SK series only.CAPACITORSApplications:• Industrial power controls• Input and output filter in power supply• Alternative energy power supplies• External lighting on aircraft engines• HID automotive lighting• Inverter for motor drives• Commercial power supplies• MRI equipmentKey Features/Benefits:• Offered in RoHS compliant and tin/leadoptions• Extremely low ESR• High current capability• Low cost alternative to stacked ceramics• Custom/customized designsAdditional Comments:For military applications: tin/lead terminations available from stock,widest mil spec offering.48
