Ceramic capacitor with conformal coating

An automotive-grade conformally coated ceramic radial leaded capacitor can work at temperatures up to 150C, making it suitable for a variety of automotive and industrial applications.

AVX has developed an automotive-grade conformally coated ceramic radial leaded capacitor.

Designated the AR Series, the product range encompasses NPO, X7R, and - most recently - X8R dielectrics, which allows for an extended temperature range up to 150C, making the parts suitable for a variety of automotive and industrial applications.

"The advantages of the conformally coated radial technology have been a natural fit for the automotive industry and our customers in that market were requesting this type of high-temperature part", says Neal Smyth, Product Manager, AVX.

"The X8R development was also an obvious evolution of our product line toward an AEC-Q200 part that could work under more extreme temperature conditions".

AR series capacitors, with AEC-Q200 qualification, are suitable for designers requiring a PPAP (production part approval process) for new qualifications.

All the necessary PPAP data is complete, and is available upon request.

Operational in standard temperatures up to 125C and extended temperatures up to 150C, AR series devices are available up to 200V DC with capacitance values ranging from 1pf to 1uF.

Available in 16 different case sizes, AR series capacitors are available in straight or formed lead configurations, with lead spacing options ranging from 2.54 to 9.525mm (.100 to .375in).

Packaging options include bulk, tape and reel, and ammo package.
