Capacitors enable audio miniaturisation

AVX is offering its TLJ series of capacitors in even smaller packages, allowing for increased sound quality at miniature dimensions in smaller handheld devices.

AVX is offering its TLJ series of capacitors - known for its high capacitance versus voltage ratio - in even smaller packages, allowing for increased sound quality at miniature dimensions in smaller handheld devices.

The devices will be on show for the first time at Electronica 2006 in Munich, Hall B5.173.

Displaying a maximum height of 1.2mm, the parts offer a capacitance versus voltage ratio of 220uF/4V in a miniature 1210 footprint.

The devices are the first on the market to offer this degree of capacitance in a T case size.

Parts also deliver a capacitance tolerance of +/-20% and an operating temperature range between -55 and +125C.

Complying with RoHS requirements, the TLJ consumer series is ready for 3x reflow, 260C peak temperature lead-free assembly systems.

Designed for high audio performance in PDAs, mobile phones, MP3 players and digital cameras, the new capacitor should bring deep bass, low frequency performance into smaller designs.

Devices are also available in standard EIA case sizes A, B, C D and the low profile W.
