Designated the Spinguard AA Series, these devices are the first axial leaded multi-layer ceramic capacitor to meet the latest electronic component qualification initiative for automotive applications, the company claimed.
The capacitors are AEC-Q200 qualified directly from the AVX factory with production part approval process qualification data available upon request.
AVX said its axial capacitors meet AEC-Q200 level certifications for capacitance values of 0.002uf, 0.01uf and 0.1uf in 50 and 100V.
The Spinguard AA Series is available in X7R dielectric and features an operating temperature range of minus 55 degrees Celsius to plus 125 degrees Celsius, making the parts ideal for a variety of automotive applications.
AVX marketing manager Dan Lane said that the advantages of the technology are a natural fit in both underhood and in-cabin automotive applications.
