AVX’s X7R Dielectric, Radial-Leaded Caps are Targeted for High-Voltage Automotive Applications

AVX Corporation has developed a unique new series of high-voltage, conformally-coated, radial-leaded MLC capacitors for automotive applications. An extension of its successful Skycap® Series, AVX's new X7R dielectric high-voltage AR Series capacitors feature a working voltage range of 1000V to 3000V, are AEC-Q200 qualified, and are readily available in two popular sizes, AR21 and AR30; additional sizes are available upon request.

"Unique new products like the Skycap high-voltage AR Series capacitors, developed by AVX, are the driving force behind AVX's position as a leading manufacturer of MLC capacitors for more than 40 years," said Dan Lane, marketing manager at AVX.

AVX's new Skycap high-voltage AR Series capacitors possess the robust construction, excellent vibration characteristics and considerable thermal resistance for which the Skycap Series is known. Capacitance values for the AR Series range from 470pf to 68,000pf and its tolerance values are ±10%, ±20% and +80%-20%. Fully qualified to automotive specification AEC-Q200, the Skycap AR Series is ideal for use in automotive electronics, power supply decoupling and filtering, and a variety of high voltage applications.
