AVX's X7R Dielectric, Radial-Leaded Caps are Targeted for High-Voltage Automotive Applications

AVX Corporation has developed a unique new series of high-voltage, conformally-coated, radial-leaded MLC capacitors for automotive applications. An extension of its successful Skycap® Series, AVX's new X7R dielectric high-voltage AR Series capacitors feature a working voltage range of 1000V to 3000V, are AEC-Q200 qualified, and are readily available in two popular sizes, AR21 and AR30; additional sizes are available upon request.

"Unique new products like the Skycap high-voltage AR Series capacitors, developed by AVX, are the driving force behind AVX's position as a leading manufacturer of MLC capacitors for more than 40 years," said Dan Lane, marketing manager at AVX.

AVX's new Skycap high-voltage AR Series capacitors possess the robust construction, excellent vibration characteristics and considerable thermal resistance for which the Skycap Series is known. Capacitance values for the AR Series range from 470pf to 68,000pf and its tolerance values are ±10%, ±20% and +80%-20%. Fully qualified to automotive specification AEC-Q200, the Skycap AR Series is ideal for use in automotive electronics, power supply decoupling and filtering, and a variety of high voltage applications.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules

Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure

Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
