Nexperia has teamed up with Kyocera AVX to develop an industrial 650V 20A silicon carbide rectifier module. It is aimed at “high frequency power applications ranging from 3kW to 11 kW power stack designs [in] industrial power supplies, electric vehicle charging stations and on-board chargers,” according to Nexperia. It “has a low inductance package and it has been qualified to ...

Kyocera AVX has announced a range of high-capacity supercapcitor banks with low leakage. “SCM Series supercapacitor modules are rated for operating temperatures from -40°C to +65°C and lifetimes that extend to millions of cycles,” according to the company. “They are also lead-free compatible, RoHS compliant, and compliant with the UL 810A standard for electrochemical capacitors.” Initially there are five versions: ...

Kyocera has introduced AEC-Q200 qualified supercapacitors for automotive use. To be found in the company’s SCC series, there are four capacitors (diameter x length): 35F 3V SCCU30E356SRBQ (16  x 30mm) 50F 3V SCCV40E506SRBQ (18 x 40mm ) 100F 2.7V SCCV60B107SRBQ (18 x 60mm) 100F 3V SCCV60E107SRBQ (18 x 60mm) where the final Q indicates AEC-Q200 qualification “They can be used ...

Kyocera AVX has introduced a series of pouch-style supercapacitors for decreasing current surges in batteries. Called the SCP Series and branded PrizmaCap, they “can be used on their own as system power backup devices, replacing batteries in some cases, or they can be used in conjunction with primary or secondary batteries”, according to distributor Anglia, which is stocking the parts. ...

AVX extended its TACmicrochip series with a 3216-footprint tantalum capacitor measuring 0.5mm high.

AVX increases the maximum operating temperature for its TWD High-Temp Max-Cap (HTMC) Series capacitors

AVX has released a series of thin film multilayer chip inductors  designed for automotive signal and power applications. Qualified to AEC-Q200, the automotive-grade Accu-L Series inductors exhibit  inductance tolerances down to ±0.05nH, in addition to: RF power capabilities, high Q, high self-resonant frequency (SRF), low DC resistance (Rdc), and  performance from 450MHz to 2,400MHz. The  series delivers  intra-lot and lot-to-lot ...

AVX has brought out thin film chip capacitors for implantable medical devices. Delivering extremely tight capacitive tolerances, repeatable performance, low ESR and high Q at high frequencies – including VHF, UHF, and RF bands – AVX’s Accu-P MP Series capacitors are stable with respect to temperature, time, frequency, and voltage variation. They are based on thin film technology and materials, and subjected ...

AVX has introduced the radial leaded CapGuard automotive series of combined multilayer varistor (MLV) and high capacitance, temperature stable X7R multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) technology in a single, hi-rel device. The CapGuard Series exhibits bi-directional transient voltage protection, excellent EMI/RFI attenuation over a wide frequency spectrum, and multi-strike capabilities in a compact, radial configuration with a conformal epoxy coating that ...

AVX has introduced a simulation tool, SpiTAN IV, for its tantalum, polymer, and niobium oxide capacitors. Using data mined from the libraries of AVX’s previous PSpice Models and S-Parameters S2P software, which are now redundant, the SpiTAN IV software allows design engineers to review electrical and performance characteristics for individual part numbers by temperature and frequency, allowing them to identify ...
