AVX Intros New LD Series Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors

AVX Corp. (Myrtle Beach, SC), a manufacturer of passive components, introduced its new LD Series of multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), which offer tin-lead solder terminations, with 5% lead minimum. The LD Series is suitable for military products, missiles, guidance systems, communications and radar equipment, and space products (such as satellites, rockets, and rovers).

"In the stampede to be RoHS-compliant, some manufacturers are ignoring the industries and applications that still need lead-containing termination," said AVX Product Manager Larry Eisenberger. "The LD Series MLCCs meet the needs of the military and aerospace applications where tin-lead solder terminations are required."

Available in a wide range of sizes, from 0402 to 0612, the LD Series offers voltages ranging from 6.3 V to 500 V. Pricing for the LD Series ranges from $0.01 to $0.50 in volume. Delivery time is eight weeks.
