EV advances come from Formula E electric racing
You may thank Formula E electric racing technology for some of the advances that ultimately make electric vehicles practical on ordinary highways. Just as automakers have sponsored racing programs to help perfect advances in conventional automotive technology, electronics makers are taking the same approach with Formula E racers to get a jump on components for […]
High-temp, glass-encapsulated MLVs provide bidirectional overvoltage protection, broadband EMI/RFI filtering
AVX Corporation released a new series of high-temperature, glass-encapsulated multilayer varistors (MLVs) that are qualified to AEC-Q200, rated for operating temperatures up to 150°C, and designed for use in a wide variety of high-energy, harsh-environment automotive underhood, industrial, and oil and gas applications. Comprised of zinc oxide (ZnO) based ceramic semiconductor devices with nonlinear, bidirectional […]
Automotive-qualified multilayer varistors combine bi-directional overvoltage circuit protection, broadband EMI/RFI filtering
AVX Corporation has released a new series of automotive-qualified multilayer varistors (MLVs) specially designed to exhibit lower breakdown- and clamping-voltage to working-voltage ratios than other standard varistors. Comprised of zinc-oxide-based (ZnO-based) ceramic semiconductor devices with nonlinear, bidirectional voltage-current (V-I) characteristics similar to those of back-to-back Zener diodes, but with greater current and energy handling capabilities […]

Multilayer varistor transient voltage suppression devices rated for 175°C operation
AVX Corporation released the industry’s first multilayer varistor (MLV) transient voltage suppression (TVS) devices rated for 175°C operation. The new TransGuard VT Series high-temperature MLVs provide extremely reliable bidirectional overvoltage protection across operating temperatures extending from -55°C to 175°C with zero derating across the entire range, are qualified to AEC-Q200, and are currently available in […]
Lowest-profile 3216-footprint tantalum capacitor is just 0.5-mm high
AVX Corporation has extended its TACmicrochip Series with the lowest-profile 3216-footprint tantalum capacitor currently available on the market. Measuring just 0.5mm high, the first new “I” case capacitor (EIA Metric 3216-05) is rated for 10μF and 6.3V, but will be followed by future code releases to further extend the offering. The full line of TACmicrochip […]
Cylindrical supercaps include smallest 1 F, 2.7-V version
AVX Corporation has released a new series of cylindrical, electrochemical, double-layer supercapacitors. Rated for 2.7V and delivering high capacitance values (1F – 3,000F), low ESR (0.16mΩ – 200mΩ at 1,000KHz), low leakage (6µA – 5,800µA), high energy density (1.2 to 5.6Wh/kg), and long lifetime performance (50,000+ cycles), the new SCC Series supercapacitors exhibit excellent pulse […]
Tantalum caps can handle 150°C in industrial/automotive apps
AVX Corporation released a new series of miniature, surface-mount, J-lead tantalum capacitors that deliver high reliability and high volumetric efficiency in high-temperature automotive and industrial applications. The new F9H Series meets AEC-Q200 requirements, is compliant with RoHS2 directive 2011/65/EU, is rated for operating temperatures up to 150°C, and offers the industry’s highest CV/cc in a high-temperature […]
Ultraminiature capacitors target high-performance microwave apps
AVX Corporation introduced a new line of ultraminiature, thin-film transmission line capacitors for high-frequency links, DC blocking in the UHF range (300MHz – 3GHz), and other high-performance microwave and RF applications. The new capacitors have a novel metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure, copper traces for optimal circuit conductivity, a transmission line wire-bond pad, and a gold-metallized backside ground, […]
