AVX expands mini-turbocap BME capacitor series

GREENVILLE, USA: AVX Corp. has expanded its Mini-TurboCap and RoHS Compliant Mini-TurboCap Series with a new 25V rating and an extended capacitance range for its 50V parts.

Now available in 25V, 50V, and 100V, these state-of-the-art base metal electrode (BME) capacitor series exhibit extremely high volumetric efficiency (CV) in addition to ultra low ESR and ESL in a compact footprint. Capable of conserving considerable amounts of critical board space, both Mini-TurboCap Series are ideal for I/O EMI filtering in military and COTS+ switch mode power supply applications, industrial power converters, radar systems, and aerospace power electronics, among several others.

Both Mini-TurboCap Series feature stress-relieving lead frames to ensure the effective mechanical decoupling of the chips from the board and mitigate the stress created by board flexing, vibration, and temperature cycling. Mini-TurboCap Series capacitors and their RoHS compliant counterparts also feature 4-pin DIP construction.

Terminations for both series are available in three lead styles: straight (N), formed in (K), and formed out (M). Additionally, lead frames for both series are attached to the chips with high temperature solder, eliminating the risk of solder reflow during assembly to the board.
