AVX Announces New MIL-PRF-49470 Qualified SMPS Stacked Capacitors

AVX Corp. (Myrtle Beach, SC) announced the MIL-PRF-49470 qualified SMPS stacked capacitors for high-reliability applications. AVX’s SMPS MIL-qualified capacitors are available with capacitance ratings from .056µF up to 270µF.

Designed for high-current, high-power and high-temperature applications, these stacked capacitors have very low ESR and ESL. The SMPS Series capacitors offer design and component engineers a proven technology specifically designed for programs requiring high-reliability performance in harsh environments.

The SMPS Series capacitors are primarily used in input/output filters of high-power and high-voltage power supplies, as well as in bus filters and dc snubbers for high-power inverters and other high-current applications. These capacitors are available in through-hole and surface-mount leads. The operating temperature range is -55 to +125 degrees C. Typical lead time for the SMPS capacitors is stock to 15 weeks.
