High reliability ceramic capacitors are stacked
Kyocera AVX is once again stacking its ceramic capacitors to increase CV product in a small footprint, this time for high reliability applications. ‘DSCC 25007 Mini BME Stacks’ combine multiple 2220-size capacitors with X7R characteristics (from its MIL-PRF-32535 range) using a legged lead-frame, have base metal electrodes, and are 100% Group A tested. 100% Group A and Group B testing ...
Kyocera’s hermaphroditic connectors
Kyocera has brought out a series of hermaphroditic wire-to-wire (WTW) and wire-to-board (WTB) connectors for lighting and industrial applications. The 9288-000 Series two-piece connectors facilitate WTW termination with two identical mating halves, which simplifies BOMs, and WTB termination with one those halves and an SMT version. Both halves of the 9288-000 Series hermaphroditic connectors feature orange or white glass-filled PBT ...
Removable wire-to-board connector is solderless
Kyocera AVX has introduced a series of solderless wire-to-board removable edge connectors. Called 9169-000, they combine insulation displacement contacts for the wire with beryllium copper compression contacts for board edge pattern. Locating ribs engage with slots on the PCB edge for polarisation against improper insertion, and moulded plastic clips drop into holes in the PCB to improve retention. “It is ...
Snap-in electrolytics rated for 5,000 hours at 105°C
Kyocera AVX has launched two series of snap-in -25 to 105°C electrolytic capacitors for commercial and industrial applications. SNA capacitors are rated for a life of 5,000 hours. Voltage ratings are 250, 420 or 450Vdc, capacitance is between 82 and 1,500µF (±20%), and there are 24 case sizes spanning 22mm diameter x 25mm long to 35∅ x 50mm. As well ...
Top-cooled industrial 650V 20A silicon carbide rectifier module
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 ...
Supercapacitor banks for energy storage
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: ...
Automotive-qualified supercaps
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 ...
Pouch-style supercapacitors reinforce batteries
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 adds to TACmicrochip series
AVX extended its TACmicrochip series with a 3216-footprint tantalum capacitor measuring 0.5mm high.
